Hi everyone.
I want to study Vietnamese and wonder which course, you think, is the best one. I would choose Assimil but sadly I don't know any French. Thank you for your tips ;) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

From what I can tell there are actually two versions of the Colloquial course, the most recent released this year.
I am also curious to hear what anyone has to say about these three courses. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Teach Yourself Vietnamese is not really for beginners, I found it practically useless. I would recommend Binh Ngu Ngo's Elementary Vietnamese, published by Tuttle Press. It's very thorough and covers pronunciation extensively at the outset. The only problem is that you have to write to the author and send him a check to get the cds (he teaches at Harvard.) This was relatively painless, although I'm not sure how it would go if you're not in the US. You would definitely need the audio component of any course, because the sounds are really key for Vietnamese.
Edit: Actually I see on Amazon that a new (third) edition of Binh's book will be coming out in 2013, and it will include a "disc" - possibly an MP3, judging by other language texts by this publisher that I've used. That would definitely be worth waiting for, although the old edition had a set of 6 or 8 cds, the new one might not have as much listening material - of course I'm only guessing.
