How should I start?
Hello everyone, I am interested in learning Vietnamese, specifically southern Vietnamese. I am 19M and currently a university student so I have around one month until I can actually afford a tutor. I have watched some YouTube videos to shadow some pronunciation and see the tones. However i want to take some first steps before I can afford my tutor. Furthermore getting a tutor may also be quite expensive so I will have to do quite a lot of self study as i may have to pause the tutoring during times I cant afford it. Are there any good materials for free of maybe even paid but cheap for learning southern Vietnamese.
I know getting a tutor is the best way to progress, i am not new to learning languages i have studied Arabic and Japanese but I was lucky enough to get free lessons as part of a community programme. I am new to self studying though. if there are any anki plug ins or decks you love to use it would really go a long way.
