Vietcetera

Vietcetera is a Vietnam-focused digital media brand with both a Vietnamese edition and an English “International Edition”. It’s best for intermediate to advanced learners who want real-world reading and listening practice, not step-by-step lessons.

You can read current articles across topics like business, culture, travel, lifestyle, and more on their website. Because it’s written for native or fluent readers, it’s a solid way to pick up modern wording, headlines, and how people talk about today’s Vietnam, but you will run into slang, names, and dense references quickly.

For listening, Vietcetera produces multiple shows on their podcast hub, and many episodes are also available as video on their YouTube channel. The upside is lots of natural Vietnamese and long-form conversations. The downside is there are no learner tools like graded levels, vocab lists, or comprehension exercises, so you’ll need your own method for saving new words and reviewing them.
