Nutty Vietnamese

What it actually is

A small, focused site that walks absolute beginners through the alphabet, the six tones and basic pronunciation with audio and interactive practice, then adds topic lessons such as greetings and introductions. Tones are the wall every Vietnamese learner hits first, and doing this before any phrasebook saves months of being misunderstood. There is no account or paywall; equally, there is no depth beyond the beginner stage.
