Thư trạm

Edit this resource

Thư trạm is a free Vietnamese grammar website for learners who want clear explanations more than drills. It combines a lesson-style guide at viet-grammar-guide with a separate Dictionary of Basic Vietnamese Grammar. If you are starting out and want help making sense of sentence structure, particles, and common grammar words, it is easy to use as a reference alongside your main study routine.

The main guide is organized like a short course. It starts with intro pages on how to use the material, then moves through core grammar needed to read basic Vietnamese. The tone is direct and aimed at independent learners. A big plus is that it explains grammar in plain lesson form instead of only listing terms. The dictionary side is useful when you want to look up a specific grammar word or pattern and see definitions, related expressions, and combinations.

What it does not do is just as important. The site says there are no exercises, and it expects you to learn vocabulary somewhere else and get real input through reading and listening. So this is strong as a grammar companion, but weak if you want speaking practice, pronunciation help, audio, or a full beginner course with built-in review. It works best if you already use flashcards, graded content, or other study tools next to it.
