About VietLang
Vietnamese for heritage speakers and learners at every level.
Our mission
VietLang helps people read, write, and truly understand Vietnamese — with a focus on heritage speakers who grew up hearing the language at home but were never taught to read or write it, and on learners starting from zero.
Who it's for
Many Vietnamese-Americans and members of the wider diaspora can follow a family conversation but freeze in front of a menu, a text message, or a formal request. VietLang closes that literacy-and-register gap: the words you already know, plus the reading, writing, and tones to use them with confidence.
What's inside
•
A 28,000-word dictionary that shows how each word is pronounced across the North, Central, and South.
•
The six tones taught by region — with Southern-accent audio in this beta; Northern and Central are on the way.
•
Grammar and culture guides, plus a placement test to find your level.
•
Practice that makes it stick: topic review, tone ear-training, and saved-word flashcards.
Our approach
Think of the clarity of a good dictionary, real examples drawn from how the language is actually used, and review that helps it stick — all pointed at one goal: getting you to real-world Vietnamese, spoken and written, the way it's used at home and in Vietnam.
