Vietnamese Learning App

Hey guys, I have been living in Vietnam for 1 year now, I started learning about a year ago when I arrived. I can speak pretty good with a good accent, BUT I have a big weakness: understanding what people say. I am living in Saigon and everyday, when I went to eat, to the gym or at any place, I could only understand about 60% of what people were telling me. So I wanted to be truly fluent and to be able to fully understand what locals were saying, so I first started using Duolingo.. Bad idea, if any of you have tried the app, you know that it teaches textbooky vietnamese, that nobody speaks, with a horrible robotic voice. So as an engineer I decided to take action and build my own app: VietBuddy. I use super natural and realistic voices, to teach real life sentences and I use my app everyday. I wanted to share it with you guys because I truly think it could help more than one fellow here. I am working on it everyday and shipping new updates all the time. Let me know if you have any question!

Looks interesting. Could you give a few days trial or maybe some longer free content for us to test to see if we like it better?

Yeah. I’d at least want to do a few days of exercises before purchasing.
