Ordering your usual coffee. Asking how much something costs. Greeting the person you see every morning. These small conversations can make everyday life in Vietnam easier — and a lot more rewarding.
Easy Vietnamese for Expats helps you take those first steps, with practical language you can start using in everyday situations.
Introductory price: US$12 — regular price US$27.
A one-off payment for the online course.
Learning a language can feel overwhelming when you are unsure where to start. The TALK Method™ gives you a manageable starting point:
Useful keywords + reusable patterns + real-life conversations.
You learn a simple pattern, then practise changing the words to suit what you want to say. A phrase used to order coffee becomes a starting point for asking for tea, water or something to eat.
Alongside the words, you explore the cultural context that helps conversations work: how to approach people politely, express your needs and respond when you haven’t quite understood.
The curriculum also includes welcome, bonus and reference items, so there is more to explore beyond the ten core lessons.
Start with greetings, first conversations, food, everyday needs, numbers and money. Then build your skills with time, directions, places, culture and communication.
Later lessons help you follow conversations, recover when you get stuck, express yourself and bring what you have learnt into real-life practice.
The aim is to help you join in more often and feel more comfortable trying.
Work through the lessons in order, pause whenever you need to and replay the videos and audio as you practise. You can spend more time on unfamiliar sounds or return to a useful phrase before heading out.
You don’t need previous Vietnamese knowledge to begin. Bring curiosity, a willingness to practise and permission to make a few mistakes along the way.
You don’t have to wait until you feel confident to say your first words. Confidence grows through those small attempts — a greeting, a thank you, a coffee order.
