Omniglot
Omniglot’s Vietnamese language and alphabet page is a quick reference for learning how Vietnamese is written in Quốc Ngữ. It’s best for beginners who want a clear overview of letters, diacritics, and tones before diving into a full course.
You get an alphabet chart with pronunciation notes, including details that vary by region, plus an embedded audio section for hearing letter names and sounds. There’s also a short sample text (UDHR Article 1) with recordings by speakers from both south and north Vietnam, which is handy for getting your ear used to differences.
It also includes a section on the official Vietnamese cursive model (Decision 31) with examples, and it links out to Omniglot pages for Vietnamese phrases and numbers. What it does not give you is a step-by-step curriculum, practice exercises, or feedback, so it works best as a “look it up” page alongside a structured learning resource.
