Hello Listeners!

If you want to become better at speaking, writing and understanding Vietnamese, you NEED to know more words. (We’re sorry listeners, there’s no way around it!)

If you want to learn vocabulary fast, you must be able to read and understand it instantly!

That’s why we’ve redesigned our vocabulary lists to help you learn faster (and make your eyeballs happy too). All it takes is a few minutes to review a list. And the result? You know more Vietnamese. But, let’s get into what’s new with your Vietnamese Vocabulary Lists!

Pretty spiffy, right?

With bigger text, more space, a shiny new font and the ability to zoom in on words and look up their definitions, this is a brand new tool that you won’t mind staring at for hours (but with our new feature improvements, you won’t need to!).

Plus, Slideshow View is available FREE to all users! Learn visually and with audio as you review the words in a slideshow. This is a new addition to the word lists!

Hello Listener,

Every Vietnamese learner wants to better at Vietnamese and say everything they’d like to say…without mistakes.

But how can you get to that level of Vietnamese awesomeness?

You need feedback from an actual Vietnamese teacher. Someone to tell you…

• “here’s how you fix your accent”
• “don’t use that. This phrase sounds more natural”
• …”here is how to fix your mistakes”

And now you can get speech analysis from your own Vietnamese teacher at VietnamesePod101! How? We just released a brand new tool called Premium PLUS My Teacher!

Greetings from Team VietnamesePod101!

We’re stopping by the blog today to tell you about an exciting new feature we’re slowly rolling out on the website. A few select users have been chosen to test drive the new Dashboard feature.

Log in to your account today to see if you’re one of them!

The new Dashboard aims to help you track your Vietnamese learning quickly and easily. We’ve produced a lot of lessons in our lifetime and while we pride ourselves on offering a wide variety of lessons to our users, we realized that it can been pretty overwhelming for some.

Where do I start? What level is best for me? What series do I move on to now?

These were common questions coming in from avid users like you, so we set out to solve these commonly asked questions, and the Dashboard was born!

We’ll of course continue to listen to our fans and tweak the Dashboard to provide the very best experience for everyone. If you have questions or feedback for us, send us an email here.

To help you get started, here are a few of the big changes:

• Your learning progress

• Recommended lesson alert

• Your learning profile

• Account information

• Quick links to useful tools

We hope you enjoy the brand new Dashboard! Stay tuned for more tweaks and updates to the site and head over to VietnamesePod101.com to test out the new Dashboard beta.
