VietLingo Opening soon
Pronunciation-first Vietnamese

Learn Vietnamese in 6 months. Not just words. Real fluency.

A structured path from complete beginner to real conversations, built on the order people actually acquire a language, not on tapping the right answer. We are opening to a small first group.

Month 1 · The six tones

ma · mà · má · mả · mã · mạ

mangang

ghost

huyền

but / which

sắc

mother (southern) / cheek

mảhỏi

grave, tomb

ngã

horse / code

mạnặng

rice seedling

One syllable. Six tones. Six completely different words. This is where Vietnamese begins, and where most apps skip ahead.

What you're joining

Six stages. No skipping.

Each month unlocks only when you prove you have the one before it. That constraint is the entire product, and the reason Month 1 contains no vocabulary at all.

Month 1

Pronunciation Phát âm

The alphabet and all six tones, until you can hear the difference between mả and mã.

Month 2

Vocabulary Từ vựng

Your first 500 words, each with audio in three dialects and a spaced-repetition schedule.

Month 3

Grammar Ngữ pháp

Sentence order, classifiers and the pronoun system that changes with who you're speaking to.

Month 4

Writing Viết

Five sentences a day, corrected and explained, then rewritten the way a native would say it.

Month 5

Speaking Nói

Daily voice notes, scored on pronunciation, tone accuracy, fluency, speed and confidence.

Month 6

Conversation Giao tiếp

Roleplay a waiter, a taxi driver, a job interview or your partner's mother, with live corrections.

And after Review, journalling and conversation carry on indefinitely. The ladder ends; the practice doesn't.

Dialects

The problem nobody warns you about.

You learn from a textbook, then meet someone from another region and your Vietnamese evaporates. VietLingo teaches all three regions side by side from the first lesson.

Northern

Giọng Bắc · Hà Nội

The standard in educational material and the news. Keeps hỏi and ngã distinct.

Central

Giọng Trung · Huế / Đà Nẵng

The one textbooks leave out, and the one a lot of families actually speak at home.

Southern

Giọng Nam · Sài Gòn

What most overseas communities speak. Merges hỏi and ngã into one tone by ear.

Same word, three regions

corn ngô Bắc bắp Trung bắp Nam
pineapple dứa Bắc dứa Trung thơm Nam
mother mẹ Bắc mạ Trung Nam

Early access

What joining early actually gets you.

First in

Access before the public launch

We're opening in small groups so the AI feedback stays fast and we can fix what breaks before the next group arrives.

No cost

Month 1 is free, forever

The alphabet and all six tones cost nothing, on any plan, with no card. You only pay when you're ready for vocabulary and AI feedback.

A say

Your dialect and vocabulary first

Tell us why you're learning when you sign up, and that shapes which vocabulary and dialect we build out next.
