Learning Vietnamese? That’s Pretty Epic. If you haven’t realized this already…
Hello Listener,
Learning Vietnamese? That’s pretty epic.
If you haven’t realized this already... the amount of people actually choosing to learn Vietnamese (or any language for that matter), setting goals, and learning despite whatever excuse and distraction daily life throws at them... is very, very small. It’s very easy to do nothing... and get nothing done.
Lots of people do that.
But learning Vietnamese and going from simple words to speaking and understanding comfortably? It’s worth stopping for a moment to admire your hard work and progress. It’s pretty EPIC.
And knowing how much dedicated students invest in a language, it only makes sense to help you master Vietnamese for less cash with an EPIC sale!

Perfect your Vietnamese pronunciation with the New & Improved Voice Recorder. Here’s how…
Hi there listener,
You’re regularly exposed to Vietnamese speakers and conversations in VietnamesePod101 lessons. But do you actively practice pronunciation and the proper accent?
If not, now’s the time to start. How would you do it?
Simply listening and repeating Vietnamese speakers isn't enough. You need to hear how you actually sound as opposed to how you think you sound .
So, naturally, recording and comparing yourself is one of the best ways of knowing how close your Vietnamese is to native Vietnamese.
In fact, you can start doing this with your Vietnamese lessons at VietnamesePod101.
We've upgraded & re-added the Voice Recording Tool into your lesson pages. If you’re a Premium member, you’ll find the Voice... Show more
