Tieng Viet Oi

Tieng Viet Oi is a Vietnamese language school based in Hanoi that teaches both online and in person. It is a good fit if you want real classes with teachers rather than only an app, especially if you live in Vietnam or want structured support from beginner level upward. You can browse lesson options and sign up on their website.

The main offer is teacher-led study: online 1-on-1, face-to-face 1-on-1, private group classes, and TVO group classes. Their curriculum is structured from beginner through upper intermediate, with set hour ranges for each level and their own coursebooks focused on everyday spoken Vietnamese. Their teaching style puts a lot of emphasis on speaking practice, practical language, and lessons adapted to your needs.

What makes it especially useful is that there is free material alongside the paid classes. The video lessons cover pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, listening, and beginner topics, while the podcast page adds more listening content and culture-focused episodes. The tradeoff is that the free content is not a full self-paced course, and some podcast material is aimed more at higher-level learners. Public group listings also lean heavily toward Northern Vietnamese, even though the school’s signup form lets online students choose Northern, Central, or Southern dialects.
