Learn Vietnamese: Việt Quest
Learn & speak real Vietnamese
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Learn the Vietnamese that family conversations are made of — and finally hear which tone you said. Free, offline, no account.
Vietnamese Quest teaches real-life Vietnamese, one quest at a time — from your first Xin chào to celebrating Tết with the family.
It was built for one person first: the son or daughter of Vietnamese parents who grew up abroad and wants the language back. If that is you, this game starts exactly where you need it to — how to address every relative (con, cháu, ông, bà, cô, chú, bác), how to invite the table to eat, and how to call your grandmother on Sunday.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
• Tone-aware speaking practice. Say a word and the game tells you precisely what happened: "the tone is huyền (falling) — I heard hỏi (dipping)." Not just right or wrong — the exact fix.
• A story you will not want to stop. All 24 quests follow one continuous journey: your first trip to Hà Nội to spend Tết with your grandmother, then Sài Gòn with your mother. Family dinners, the market at dawn, the phone call home, the hardest goodbye.
• Your family's voice. Hand the phone to bà or má: they read the words once, and from then on the game teaches you in their voice and their accent. No other app does this.
• Linh, your AI cousin. An optional conversation partner who answers anything, asks you back, and corrects one thing at a time — only after you say yes.
• Real conversations, out loud. Talk with your cousin, a Grab driver, the market seller, the pharmacist — the game speaks, listens, and coaches.
• Smart review. Words you learn come back on a doubling schedule (1, 2, 4, 8 days…) so they move into long-term memory.
• Daily goals, streaks, XP, and 12 achievements to keep you coming back.
WHAT IS INSIDE
• Two seasons, 24 quests: Season 1 in Hà Nội with your grandmother (Northern), Season 2 in Sài Gòn with your mother, thirty years after she left (Southern — dạ, má, ly, quẹo, the words most of our families actually use)
• 576 essential words with pronunciation guides and culture tips, every one flagging where North and South differ
• 72 grammar patterns explained simply
• 24 illustrated story chapters with meaningful choices
• 120 voice-conversation turns, plus Zalo mode for typing with tone marks
• Ear training (tones, numbers, dates), spaced review, and a can-do ladder of 20 real-life abilities
• 4 arcade games: Speed Quiz, Word Match, Sentence Builder, Boss Battle
HONESTLY, WHAT IT IS NOT
This is not a fluency machine and it does not pretend to be. It is a warm, serious start — the first 576 words and the confidence to use them with people you love.
Free. Works offline. No account. No ads. No tracking. Two optional online features (the AI cousin and the save code) ask first.
