Tiếng Việt 123 (123Vietnamese)
Hanoi school and its widely used Vietnamese-for-foreigners coursebook series.
What it actually is
The Tiếng Việt 123 books are a staple of Vietnamese classrooms for foreigners — practical topics, clear progression and exercises designed for teacher-led lessons — and the associated Hanoi centre runs online and in-person classes using them. Good if you want a curriculum a teacher can teach you from rather than a self-study narrative. The material is Northern-dialect and works far better with an instructor than alone, since the books are light on English explanation.
