Recent Testimonials:
"I am a 28 year old Vietnamese born in America, with parents from Southern Vietnam region. I've lived my life with an OK ability to converse and a good amount of vocab, but I never learned it properly. Unfortunately, there's very few resources for learning English-> Viet Southern Dialect, since the Northern/Hanoi dialect is the official preference and more relevant for business. Since there were very few resources for improving Southern dialect, I mostly gave up on developing my own Vietnamese. So I was very happy to see a course specifically aimed for Southern dialect on Udemy! After completing this course, I am really pleased with the quality of the lessons. Greg is comprehensive, thorough and attuned to the tonal nuances of the language. So if you're like me, a Viet Kieu with a desire to improve, this is an excellent course and I highly recommend it." - Kim T
"Although I have not completed the course yet, I have already benefited greatly from Greg's insight of the Vietnamese language." - Gerald Morton
"I've taken lessons from several Vietnamese teachers and this one is my favorite by far!" - Tiffany Bennet
"Love the building-blocks approach." - Tony Luvonne
This course is for anyone who wants to become fluent in the Vietnamese language or simply learn some conversational phrases and vocabulary before making a trip to Vietnam. It's also for anyone seeking to simply communicate with your Vietnamese friends or neighbors.
It is designed to teach you Vietnamese in the shortest possible time frame by using the same strategies that I used when I first learned the language while living in Vietnam. I'll teach you tricks and tips along the way that allow you to understand popular phrases and slang, as well as how to properly pronounce the difficult tones and accents of Vietnamese.
I have structured the course into short, instructional videos that allow you to focus on one subject at a time without getting overloaded with too much information. I have adapted some of the grammar and sentence structures from the very popular language textbooks used at the University of Sociology and Language Arts in Ho Chi Minh City which are the core building blocks of the language.
Everything in the course is useful in everyday situations so you will never be spending time studying something that is not totally applicable in the real world right away. Most language courses have a lot of this kind of superfluous material which is quite inefficient and waste a lot of time covering unnecessary vocabulary and grammar rules. Our course is designed for efficiency AND proficiency.

My courses are designed based on my many years as a teacher and student of education and business. I hold a master's degree in business education and have been designing curricula, teaching, and doing corporate training for almost 15 years. The business, language, and chess courses that I have built on Udemy are a reflection of this experience and dedication...
The teachers screen blocks the screen of the alphabet, we don’t need to see the teacher for this
He can make the difficult tones sound easy by constantly relating it to English pronunciation. Very helpful especially for me learning this language for the first time
So far I am really enjoying this course. Learning from a non-native speaker is nice because he understands the difficulty of phonetics and tones.
The instructor is passionate. I Just started. Will know later.
Overall this class has been better than any other language learning platform I have been on for tieng viet!
Yes. I lived in Viet Nam sixty years ago. This is a good refresher course for me- particularly on accents and tones. ,,,Still ont rack
Very informative but on mobile it is hard to see the alphabet as the recorded video blocks most of it. Also, would have appreciated to take more time into pronunciation and mouth shapes used, or examples since pronunciation is a very difficult thing to learn.
Good start on the basics
good organization and good review of basic concepts

Well this course is great so far, very easy to understand and I’m so glad someone is finally breaking down the language this way. I wish my old professor would have started with the breakdown of the language and the alphabet, he didn’t. He just gave us phrases and expected us to know what he was saying, I was so confused. He also had a very thick accent and his English sounded like Vietnamese, so I was totally and completely lost. I dropped that class and have put learning Vietnamese on the back burner for two years now. I am happy to say I’m trying to pick it up again, I did marry a Vietnamese man and have a two year old with him. Definitely want to learn to impress his family and continue our son’s development. He learned Vietnamese and English and is learning Spanish. I think with the help of this course we’ll be unstoppable. Thank you so much.
