How many letters are in the Vietnamese Alphabet?
6 vowels, 16 consonants, 7 special letters, 22 vowel combinations, 11 consonant combinations. That is 62 characters in total on this site — every one of them has its own page here with audio and, where the script needs it, stroke order.
How long does it take to learn the Vietnamese Alphabet?
Most learners recognise the whole set within two to six weeks at ten to fifteen minutes a day, depending on how many characters the script has. Writing them from memory takes longer, which is why every character here comes with an animated stroke order you can trace.
Do I need to learn the Vietnamese alphabet before speaking?
You do not have to, but it pays off quickly. Reading the script means you can use real menus, signs and subtitles instead of romanisation, and romanisation systems disagree with each other in ways the script never does.
Is this site free?
Yes. Every character page, the audio and the interactive practice app are free in the browser. There is a mobile app too if you would rather practise offline.
