Description

SEAsite's Vietnamese Language and Culture website is a free self-study course for early learners. Its core is 20 spoken Vietnamese lessons covering greetings, numbers, family, travel, shopping, phone calls, and restaurants. The pronunciation guide uses educated Hanoi speech as its standard, making it most relevant if you are learning Northern Vietnamese.

Lessons combine dialogues and examples with vocabulary, grammar notes, written exercises, self-tests, and regular review units. Audio supports listening and pronunciation, while some activities ask you to answer aloud or translate sentences. Matching activities and flash-card-style pages provide extra vocabulary review.

Culture and practical extras cover forms of address, food, travel, maps, and useful tourist conversations. The course connects grammar to everyday situations and provides substantial free practice. It does not offer live conversation, teacher correction, personalized feedback, or much material beyond its beginner sequence, so you will need other resources for sustained speaking practice and higher-level study.
