How SVFF Courses Work — Textbooks, Videos & Podcasts

Types of Courses on SVFF

SVFF offers several types of courses to suit different learning styles:

1. Textbook Courses (Main Curriculum)

These are the core of your SVFF learning journey. Each textbook course follows the SVFF curriculum:

• Level 0 — Southern Vietnamese Pronunciation (for complete beginners)
• Level 1 — Beginner (everyday conversations, greetings, ordering food, etc.)
• Level 2 — Intermediate (complex topics, opinions, career, health)
• Level 3 — Advanced (coming soon)

Each textbook course contains modules (chapters) and lessons within each module. Every lesson has activities — listening, reading, speaking, and writing exercises.

2. Video Courses

Watch and learn with structured video content. Video courses cover specific topics like grammar deep-dives, cultural guides, and conversation practice.

3. Podcast Courses

Learn Vietnamese while listening! Podcast episodes are organised by level and come with transcripts you can follow along with.
