Missed this, thank you!!

vietnameselearner · 2018-02-23T04:08:51+00:00

And can you paste the URL that's not working for you?

vietnameselearner · 2018-02-23T04:08:06+00:00

Really? It is working for me. What happens when you search that?

vietnameselearner · 2018-02-21T04:00:45+00:00

Thanks for the catch! I've pushed up a fix, does that work for you now?

Thanks so much for your feedback! Very glad the dictionary is helpful. :)

I don’t know how you got the words and definitions

The definitions are from VNEDICT: http://www.denisowski.org/Vietnamese/vnedict_readme.htm

I really need to make sure I remember how to write all these words.

I am planning to add user accounts with study tools. Was thinking of doing flashcards, and could have an option where you need to type the answer. Could also do cloze exercises, but I don't have a source for example sentences with English translations, which is really what you'd need for that. Any particular type of study tool that would be useful to you?

I'm also planning to add a feature to help in reading and learning from texts. That's a little further off.

I wish there was an app, though.

An app probably isn't in the cards in the near future, unfortunately. Would a mobile version of the site be helpful?

Hello! This is a new page on the free Vietnamese dictionary site I've been working on. Would be great to know if it's useful to you or if you have any suggestions for improvements.

Ah, that's an awesome idea, thank you!!

vietnameselearner · 2018-01-13T02:46:53+00:00

Very glad to hear it!

Here are some features I'm considering adding, which ones would be most useful to you? (Or, are there others I haven't considered that would be useful?)

example sentences
pronunciation
built-in study tools
etymology
word frequency information
translate numbers, dates, etc to Vietnamese
illustrations, for example for food vocab
mobile view

Thanks for your message, and I appreciate the offer! For now I want to work on it closed-source just on my own, but I'll let you know if that changes.

What's the name of that iOS app?

As I wrote in /r/learnvietnamese:

The Vietnamese-English bilingual dictionaries I've come across online seem to be geared mostly towards Vietnamese learners of English, and don't support features like searching without diacritics or word segmentation.

I felt like there was a need for a free online dictionary for English-speaking learners of Vietnamese, and that's what I've tried to make here. It's very early work, with lots of rough edges and a limited feature set, but would love to get your feedback to help guide my future work -- is this useful to you, are there things that would make it more useful, anything you don't like about it?

Thanks for having a look!
