Start with a course built around real conversation rather than grammar tables — that's the core idea behind Vietnamese with Ease. Each lesson opens with a dialogue drawn from everyday situations in Vietnam, so grammar and vocabulary are learned in context, not memorized in isolation.

Yes. Book 1 is written for absolute beginners (A1 level) and builds up gradually. Book 2 continues from A2 through B1, for learners who already have basic conversational Vietnamese.

The book is designed to work as pure self-study — audio included for every dialogue, with clear explanations that don't assume a teacher is in the room. That said, many learners pair it with 1-on-1 lessons (via iSpeak Vietlingo) to get live pronunciation feedback and speak faster.

Book 1 covers A1-level Vietnamese for absolute beginners. Book 2 picks up from A2 and takes learners through B1, with more complex conversation and grammar.

Yes — every dialogue includes audio, accessible with both the printed and digital editions.

That's the starting point of the whole method. Situations are drawn from real life for foreigners living and working in Vietnam — ordering food, renting an apartment, small talk with neighbors — not textbook-only scenarios.

The printed book is a physical copy shipped to your door, with audio access included. The digital edition is a browser-based reader with annotation tools (highlighting, notes, bookmarks) — available in a Basic plan and an Advanced plan (with added tools like quiz/flashcard creation).

Each digital account can be used on up to 2 devices at a time, to keep access secure and licensing fair to the author.

Yes. The Teacher edition of the digital reader includes classroom-oriented tools on top of the base reader — see the [For Teachers] page for details.
