How it works
Your child gets about 100 hours of Vietnamese exposure each year:
- Live lessons: 30-minute interactive sessions with a teacher, twice a week.
- Home practice: "Mỗi ngày một chút" (A little every day) — about 15 minutes of daily practice.
- One family story: They learn alongside a Vietnamese family as they grow.
- Moving to answer: Children tap, point, and play to respond, keeping them engaged.
- Rich materials: Beautifully illustrated books, interactive games, and animated videos.

Where does my child start?
Your child's path depends on their age and current Vietnamese level. We provide a quick 10-minute placement chat with a teacher to find the perfect starting level. They advance by level, not by birthday!

Safety and privacy for kids
We take your child's online safety seriously. LingoRoom Kids Mode ensures a secure learning space:

What parents do
For our youngest learners (ages 3–5), we ask a parent or caregiver to sit nearby and help with the "Má ơi! — Dạ!" moments. For older children, you simply help them log in and encourage their daily 15-minute home practice.
FAQ
Parents often ask
