Ngân Trần
Actually speak and understand Vietnamese, tones and all, with a native speaker and trained linguist.

My story
I am Ngân Trần, the teacher behind Nutty Vietnamese, the free app you just used. Vietnamese is my mother tongue, born and raised in Vietnam, so I do not just speak it, I live it. My background in linguistics gives me the language to explain why, not just say it right.
I built these exercises for the learners I kept meeting: people who could read Vietnamese but froze the moment they had to speak. Tones are the wall, and a screen cannot hear you climb over it. So instead of random drills, I teach a clear, practical path, with speaking and listening at the center.
Think of the app as your warm up. A lesson with me is where it clicks: real conversation, with your tones and pronunciation fixed on the spot.

Drill the alphabet, tones, and core phrases in the app, as often as you like, with no account.
Book a lesson and we practice out loud together, fixing the tones a screen can never hear.
Leave each lesson with a clear next step and exercises to lock it in before we meet again.
Exercises cannot hear you. I can. Hop on a lesson and we will fix your tones together, live.
