r/Vietnamese

Hi everyone,

I am currently learning Vietnamese. For reference, I am an American attempting to learn Vietnamese as a heritage speaker. I speak Vietnamese inside my household with my parents, but very informally (its kinda a mix of vietnamese and english together, iykyk), so it's not the best.

edit: i have also never been to Viet Nam.

A friend of mine told me that I have a foreign "accent" when I speak. Can you guys please confirm this? im just curious lol.

I've been learning Vietnamese on and off for almost a year now. I'm living here so I get daily exposure but being a foreigner the Vietnamese don't expect you to know it and after all they are not teachers haha

I've been using Duolingo, and I've completed a Pimsleur Vietnamese 1 course but I want to immerse myself more.

So I am in need of some free resources.

Hi, I'm currently writing a fanfiction with a pre-existing character, whose name is Alexis Thi Dang. Does her name make sense linguistically, or is it gibberish?
