Tips to learn Vietnamese as a Viet American?

Hi all!! I’m completely new to reddit so please treat me kindly :’)
I’m viet American currently in high school and i want to improve my Vietnamese!! My whole family is Southern Viet btw!
My goal is to study hard over the summer as my summer break is fast approaching.
My problem is that I don’t know where to start .. and resources I’ve encountered before only teach beginners, which goes over everything I already know. I can hold a conversation in Viet, as I speak with my mom everyday, and understand how to read it, but I just lack sooo much vocabulary. My Vietnamese is very basic and lacks sophistication.

What tips would you guys have regarding this? Any resources?

I also understand that speaking with and asking my mom is my most helpful resource, but I just want to know if there are other things out there that can help!! I’d also like to avoid paying for courses as much as possible. Thank you!! ^_^
