Vietnamese Drill is a free browser app for practising Vietnamese typing and pronunciation at the same time. You see a picture and a translation first and try to recall the phrase. Then it appears and is read aloud twice — slower the second time. TELEX is converted as you type, so no UniKey is needed: type "chaof" and you get "chào". Voice input turns on automatically, so you can check your accent, not just your spelling. 20 everyday phrases, word-by-word breakdowns, UI in 11 languages.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm a Japanese developer living in Vietnam, and I built this for
myself first.
Two things kept getting in my way while learning the language.
First, typing. Vietnamese needs tone marks, which normally means
installing UniKey and fighting it in every text box. Second,
pronunciation. I could read a phrase perfectly and still not be
understood at a coffee shop, because I had never actually said it
out loud.
So the drill does both at once. A picture and a translation come
first, so you have to recall the phrase instead of just copying it.
Then it appears, is read aloud twice (slower the second time), and
you type it — TELEX is converted in the browser, so "chaof" becomes
"chào" with nothing installed. Voice input then turns on
automatically and listens to you say it.
It's 20 everyday phrases right now: ordering cà phê sữa đá, asking
how much something costs, saying you're lost. The interface is in
11 languages, there's no signup, and the source is on GitHub.
Chrome or Edge works best, since it relies on the Web Speech API.
I'd love to know which phrases you'd want added next, and whether
the voice checking is too strict for your accent — that's the part
I'm least sure about.
