Radio Free Asia (rfa)

Radio Free Asia Tiếng Việt is a Vietnamese-language news site. It is best for intermediate to advanced learners who want real-world Vietnamese from journalism, not lessons.

You can read current-affairs reporting and opinion pieces on the Vietnamese homepage. For listening, the audio archive links to live radio and recent programs, and the podcast page highlights shows like Góc khuất Việt Nam and Việt Nam Tuần Này.

As a learning resource, it works well for building listening stamina and news vocabulary because the topics are consistent and the language is natural. The downside is that it is not structured for learners. There are no graded levels, exercises, or teaching explanations, and the political and social topics can be dense. The newest items on the Vietnamese site are dated 2025, so treat it partly as a high-quality archive rather than guaranteed daily practice.
