Minh, your native Vietnamese teacher
Regular live classes in small groups. Ask questions, practice conversation, progress fast.
You speak Vietnamese every week, with a native teacher
You join whichever slot suits you, with nothing to book. The joining link arrives by email, and the session is recorded.
- 4 slots this week, across all three levels
- 2 to 5 students per class, all at your level
- Replay available the same evening, with no time limit

Reconnect with Vietnamese
The language of your parents, your grandparents or your partner. The one you want to pass on to your children.





- Finally understand what is said at the table, and answer back.
- “Hi Mum, I speak Vietnamese!”
A language is passed down from generation to generation. Now it is your turn.
Start for freeProgress in Vietnamese between classes, at your own pace
Interactive lessons with native audio, vocabulary, dialogues and quizzes. Everything you need to reinforce your skills between live sessions.
Between classes, you move forward twenty minutes a day
Lessons follow one another in order, with no evening to set aside. Every word is recorded by a native speaker.
- 276 lessons across 52 modules, from beginner to advanced
- Native audio on every word, with a slow-down button
- Your progress is kept, on phone and on computer alike
You hear the language as it is actually spoken
The recordings are made by native speakers, not by a synthetic voice. The slow-down button separates the sounds when it goes too fast.
- Every sentence can be played and slowed down
- The transcription and translation sit under the audio
- You replay it as many times as you need, with no limit
Every module ends with a quiz, not with a ticked box
You are corrected on the spot, with the explanation. A failed quiz can be retaken, with no penalty and no record.
- Immediate correction, with the right answer explained
- An end-of-level test opens the next level
- A level certificate at the end of the course
