Almost every Vietnamese app teaches the Northern/Hanoi dialect, but the tones and everyday vocabulary are different enough in the South that it only gets you so far. Speak Saigon is built Southern-first: real Southern pronunciation audio for every sound, vocab grouped the way locals actually use it, spaced-repetition review, tone drills and games, short stories, and an AI partner that holds real back-and-forth conversations in Southern Vietnamese. Free to start, no credit card.
I'm Riley, and I built Speak Saigon to solve my own problem: my wife's family is Southern Vietnamese, and almost everything out there teaches Northern Vietnamese. The Southern dialect has different tones, pronunciation, and a lot of different everyday words, so the "standard" courses only got me so far with her family.
So I built it Southern-first from the ground up: real Southern audio, an AI partner that actually replies in the Southern dialect, and games to make the tones stick. I'm solo on this, so I'd genuinely love feedback — especially from Southern speakers who can tell me where the pronunciation or vocab is off, and from anyone learning Vietnamese now. Happy to answer anything about how it works.
