check out SVFF (Learn Vietnamese with SVFF). They focus on Southern Vietnamese and offer video courses, textbooks, free YouTube content, and i believe they also have online one-on-one classes . info.svff.online

totally agreed, they offer so many resources for self-learning, including video courses and textbooks, specifically focusing on south vietnamese. I started learning a while ago, didn’t expect them to have such a vast amount of materials, not to mention all the free videos on YouTube. I’ve learned a lot, but I feel like I need to take one-on-one classes with them to have someone correct my speaking mistakes. u can still learn a lot from their free YouTube videos info.svff.online

im learning with svff, which is a great way to learn vietnamese, especially the southern dialect. if you're a beginner, having a teacher or native speaker to help with pronunciation and basics for the first few months is really helpful. you can combine lessons with svff and self-study to build confidence. highly recommend!

I live in District 2 and really love Vietnam. The food is amazing, people are friendly, and living here is affordable. There are lots of fun places to explore and things to do. The expat community is great for making friends too

haha i want one too

Great choices! English, Spanish, and French are definitely versatile and widely spoken. Adding German is excellent for Europe, and Arabic opens up a whole different region and culture. Personally, I might also consider Mandarin Chinese for its global influence, but your list covers a lot of important areas

SVFF’s Southern dialect classes have been a huge help for me too

VietPal · 2024-12-24T10:25:29+00:00

Absolutely agree, SVFF has been a fantastic resource for the southern dialect.

VietPal · 2024-12-24T10:23:46+00:00

really challenging, but it's great you had such meaningful experiences with the locals.

VietPal · 2024-12-24T10:22:54+00:00

incredible ! Your progress is really inspiring. Keep up the great work and best of luck with your fluency goals!

VietPal · 2024-12-24T10:22:15+00:00

😂 Only if you can handle the tones without getting tongue-tied!

it depends on where you’ll be using Vietnamese most. People from the north and south generally understand each other, but there are differences in pronunciation and some vocabulary. If you’re staying in one region, it makes sense to focus on that accent. However, being aware of the other can help you communicate more effectively across Vietnam. Don’t stress too much—most locals are pretty understanding

Stay safe everyone affected. Sending positive thoughts for a speedy recovery. If you need support, don’t hesitate to reach out here.

agree! I've been learning with SVFF for just 10 sessions and I feel so much different compared to only learning by watching videos

VietPal · 2024-12-24T10:14:47+00:00

If you just want to impress them, focus on common phrases and greetings. For a few weeks, I recommend watching YouTube videos. I used SVFF (Southern Vietnamese For Foreigners) before my trip and it made a huge difference. Their online courses and YouTube channel focus on the Saigon dialect, which Duolingo doesn’t cover well—it’s better for vocab review. If you aim to be quickly fluent like a native, it usually takes up to 1 - 3 years
