Vietnam USA International News (VOA)

Vietnam USA International News is VOA Tiếng Việt, Voice of America’s Vietnamese-language news site. It’s best for intermediate and advanced learners who want real-world Vietnamese from a major newsroom, not textbook dialogues.

You can read daily reporting across sections like Việt Nam, Hoa Kỳ, Thế giới, and Biển Đông, and you can also watch video segments. For listening, the site has an Audio area and multiple podcast feeds you can follow in a podcast app, so you can practice on the go.

What it does well is give you steady exposure to current-events vocabulary and a range of speaking styles, from short bulletins to longer talk formats. The downside is that it’s not designed as a course: there are no graded lessons, no built-in exercises, and the speed and topic density can feel tough if you’re still building core grammar and everyday vocabulary. Start by picking one recurring show from the Podcast page and listening to the same format for a week.
