Over 1,000 sentences, you internalize Vietnamese word order and grammar naturally.
Vietnamese has 6 tones that completely change a word's meaning. Master them all with audio-first quizzes — hear a tone, identify it. Plus 29 consonants and every vowel combination.
96 groups of nearly identical-sounding words — the pairs that confuse every learner. Two-phase quizzes train your ear to hear the difference.
Snap a photo of anything with Vietnamese text and the app creates a custom flashcard set — complete with translations, audio, and usage notes.
Every learner's life is different. Maybe you need restaurant vocabulary for your in-laws' kitchen. Maybe you want to finally understand the karaoke screen. Maybe your boss just sent you a contract in Vietnamese.
Snap a photo and the app does the rest — extracting every word, generating translations with native audio, and building a custom set that syncs to your Apple Watch. Study the exact words that matter to your life in Vietnam.
Every flashcard, sentence, lesson, and audio file is stored on your device. Study on a flight to Vietnam, in a remote homestay in the Mekong Delta, or underground on the metro — no internet needed, ever.
