Vietnamese Alphabet takes you from zero to writing and reading the Vietnamese alphabet (chữ Quốc ngữ) and its six tones.
HANDWRITING PRACTICE
- 45 items: 12 vowels, 5 tone marks, 17 consonants and 11 consonant clusters
- Trace on a grid with animated stroke-order demonstrations
- Every letter comes with its sound, its letter name and a memory aid
- Undo and redo when you slip
TONE CHART
- 10 vowels x 6 tones = 60 syllables, each one traceable
- Tap any syllable to hear it
LISTEN AND LEARN
- Vowel and consonant charts: tap a letter to hear it, long-press to copy it
- Pronunciation follows the Hanoi (northern) accent
- Some audio is real-voice recordings from Wikimedia Commons (Lingua Libre) released under CC0; the rest is AI-synthesized speech
QUIZZES AND REVIEW
- Two quiz types: see a letter and pick the sound, or hear a sound and pick the letter
- Daily review scheduled with Leitner five-box spaced repetition, so missed letters come back more often
- Listening quizzes never put letters that sound the same in Hanoi (such as s and x) in one question
- Optional daily review reminder
