Book
Tiếng Việt Cơ Sở Dành Cho Người Nước Ngoài Quyển 1
A beginner textbook that builds Vietnamese pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, and everyday communication through dialogues and varied exercises.
Description
This is Quyển 1 of Nguyễn Việt Hương's two-volume nâng cao sequence, following the two cơ sở books. Despite the Vietnamese title, its English subtitle labels it pre-intermediate. It suits learners who already know basic Vietnamese and want a structured next step.
You work through 12 numbered units, including two reviews. Topics cover preparing for Vietnam, hotels, restaurants, services, renting a home, applying to study, adapting to life in Vietnam, preferences, friendship, and receiving guests. Lessons use warm-ups, discussion prompts, practical information, reading work, vocabulary, grammar, exercises, and homework.
The practical topics and repeated speaking and reading tasks make it useful for a class or guided study, while Vietnamese-English support can help with explanations. It is not a beginner book, and many discussion activities are more useful with a teacher or partner. Check the edition before buying because some listings include a CD and others do not.
