Description
Xin Chào! Welcome to StartNow - Vietnamese for beginners. This course is aimed at beginners looking to get around and learn the basics of Vietnamese. The course is split into 10 Lessons covering 2 levels (Absolute beginner - beginner) with 5 hours of video lessons. Each lesson focuses on a different aspect of day to day life and travel in Vietnam, split up into 4-6 minute videos.We tried to focus on giving the most useful expressions and vocabulary that are used most frequently in southern Vietnam. The aim of this course is to equip the listening with the skills to order food, check into a hotel, go shopping and recount some basic experiences. There are also optional Vocabulary lists for anyone looking to expand their learning.Most importantly we want you to be understood. If this is your first tonal language you need to understand the importance of good pronunciation and we have highlighted this in our course design. 100 words spoken properly will get you so much further than 500 words mispronounced. This is why each section contains a pronunciation lesson which focuses on a vowel or consonant pair. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the course please drop a comments and myself or Tam will get back to you as soon as possible. You can also join our facebook page for conversations and help with Vietnamese. Thank you! Kai & Thanh
