The introductory chapters of this book have been carefully crafted with the learner’s needs in mind. I have structured the content to prioritize what students require most urgently. This information is crucial for their daily life upon arriving in Vietnam, such as navigating food choices, ordering at restaurants, managing illness and pain, and more. After all, discussions about the economy or politics are unlikely to take place on an empty stomach.
Each chapter covers three main components: grammar, vocabulary, and practice, with a primary focus on conversational Vietnamese. It begins with the basics, introducing the alphabet, tones, and essential grammar that will be applied throughout the book. As the content progresses, the topics become more specialized, and the language used becomes increasingly advanced.
This book uses the Northern dialect, which is commonly employed in education and national media. I trust that you will find both the content and the process of learning Vietnamese enjoyable.
