Vitamese

What it actually is

Tu My's podcast series (VTM1 beginner, VTM2 post-beginner, plus upper-intermediate material) delivers natural, largely unscripted Southern Vietnamese on daily topics, backed by transcripts, articles and flashcard sets. Unscripted speech at a controlled level is exactly what is missing between textbook audio and native podcasts. A seven-day trial and some preview lessons are free; ongoing access, video courses and flashcard packs are paid.
