Frequently asked questions
Do I need to finish Vietnamese Vibes 1 first?
Not strictly, but you should already read the alphabet comfortably and hear the six tones. Vietnamese Vibes 2 assumes that foundation and starts from full sentences.
Which accent does the course teach?
Both. Every listening track is recorded in Northern and Southern pronunciation, and each lesson closes with a dialectal notes section on the differences.
How long does the course take?
There is no deadline — the whole course is open from day one and you move at your own pace. Most learners spend one to two sessions per module.
Is there a certificate?
Not yet. The two revisions follow the format of the official CEFR-based proficiency tests, so they work as a self-check on whether you are ready for the real exam.
What is this course based on?
The Vietnamese Vibes 2 textbook by Phan Trang (Ca' Foscari University of Venice) and Chu Phong Lan (Vietnam National University, Hanoi).
