Who starts here
Level 1 is designed for children ages 6 to 8. They do not need any prior Vietnamese experience. What they get:
- A beautiful digital course book.
- Interactive home practice ("Mỗi ngày một chút") with dragging and matching games.
- An end-of-stage certificate as they progress toward Level 2.

Parents often ask
Does my child need to know how to read English first?
It helps, but we start with very simple letter recognition. The teacher guides them step by step.
How do you teach the tones?
We use simple, clear examples and fun listening games. They learn to hear the difference before they try to read the tone marks.
