Your Vietnamese
Your Vietnamese is a free, English-language website for learners who want quick, readable explanations instead of a big textbook. It works well for beginners who keep bumping into “why is it said like that?” questions and want examples they can copy.
The core content is a small set of “grammar in short lessons” that walk through basics like sentence structure, nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and negation. Posts are short and example-driven, so you can skim, get the rule, and move on. Start from the main hub at YourVietnamese or jump into the overview at Vietnamese Grammar in short lessons.
There’s also a “how to say…” section for common phrases (for example, Say Thank you in Vietnamese), plus a couple of handy tools like an online Vietnamese typepad and a number speller. Where it falls short is practice: there are no audio clips, no drills, and no feedback, so you will still need another resource for listening, pronunciation practice, and speaking.
