Why Learn Vietnamese?
Spoken by approximately 85 million people worldwide, Vietnamese is the official language of Vietnam. It’s also an officially recognized minority language in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The language is native to Vietnam and some southern regions of China. The language developed from its early forms, starting in the 13th century, and slowly transitioned into its modern vernacular today. The Vietnamese language’s alphabet is based on the Latin alphabet. The Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences is responsible for the regulation, promotion, and preservation of Vietnamese.

Why Choose Pimsleur for Vietnamese Lessons?
Speak Vietnamese with Confidence. Read like a Native.
Through his research, Dr. Pimsleur found that traditional teaching methods like memorizing vocabulary, conjugating verbs, and practicing grammar actually SLOW DOWN your ability to learn Vietnamese. He called them the kiss of total silence because they made it nearly impossible to speak the Vietnamese language. It's the reason learning a language feels so difficult, when it should feel totally natural.
It makes sense when you think about it. Have you ever seen a toddler memorizing vocabulary lists? Or picking out parts of speech in a sentence diagram? Of course not. Children learn language the way we were meant to ‐ by listening. That's because we are hardwired to remember sounds and store them in our memory automatically.
It's the same way you pick up a song on the radio. You don't have to study the lyrics or understand musical notes and chords to remember a song. Chances are, if you hear a song once you can sing along the next time you hear it.
