We’re excited to host the launch of Learn Vietnamese: Saigon Edition by Quarterspeak — the first iOS / Apple Watch / Android (May) language app built entirely around Southern Vietnamese, the dialect actually spoken by 10 million people in Ho Chi Minh City.
Created for expats, travelers, and Viet Kieu, the app skips the textbook Northern dialect that other apps teach and goes straight to what you’ll actually hear: the vocabulary, pronunciation, slang, and sentence patterns used in District 1 cafes, Ben Thanh Market, and everyday Saigon life. 3,000+ vocabulary words, 1,000 progressive sentences, 50 lessons, and 13,500+ native Southern audio recordings — all navigated through an illustrated city map instead of a lesson treadmill. Color-coded sentence highlighting shows you exactly how Vietnamese word order maps to English, smart pronouns adapt to your age and gender, and an AI photo feature turns pictures of menus and signs into instant flashcards.
There’s been a clear gap in how Vietnamese is taught, and this is our way of creating something more practical, more relatable, and more rooted in everyday life here.
Join us on April 15th at Avenue Saigon to celebrate the launch — complimentary drink tickets available for those who download the app (free with an offer code only available at the party, one per guest).
