About the series:

Southern Vietnamese for Beginners is a 2-book course which offers a solid grounding in spoken Southern Vietnamese. It uses comic-strip stories to present the language in relatable, vividly-illustrated contexts. Each story is accompanied by an audio file so that you can follow along, and a separate audio file contains pauses so that you can repeat each line. This allows you to develop an ability to deliver whole sentences in a natural way. The grammar explanations are brief, reader-friendly, and jargon-free. In sum: the course is designed to make learning Vietnamese as straightforward, and as enjoyable, as possible.
