VietNamNet

Edit this resource

VietNamNet is a Vietnamese-language online newspaper (with an English edition too). It’s best for learners who want real, current Vietnamese content rather than lessons.

You’ll find daily reporting across politics, society, business, sports, culture, tech, and more on their website. Articles are generally written in standard news style, so it’s great for building reading stamina and picking up formal vocabulary and common collocations used in Vietnamese media.

It also publishes video and podcast content (look for the Podcast and Video sections), which can help with listening practice. The downside is that news writing can be dense and fast-moving, with lots of names, abbreviations, and government or business terms. If you’re a beginner, you’ll likely need to start by skimming headlines, using a pop-up dictionary, or focusing on shorter lifestyle pieces before tackling long political or economic articles.
