It's easiest to start by learning how to write Japanese characters, before moving onto studying both the hiragana and katakana alphabets. Once you've mastered these you can move onto kanji by studying individual radicals, before finally taking the plunge to start speaking!

We’ve discussed in other articles whether Vietnamese is difficult to learn. We’ve also gone over some general best practices when learning tonal languages.
But what is the best way to learn Vietnamese specifically? The bad news is, there’s no right answer to that. The good news is, there’s no wrong answer, either. Everyone learns differently, so we’ve gathered some recommendations to help you learn Vietnamese in the most efficient way possible, including narrowing down the dialect, perfecting diacritics and finding a learning buddy.

SUMMARY What Verbling does well, it does really well. The self-contained interface makes scheduling and conducting lessons convenient, all without the need for different software. Verbling thoroughly screens all teachers to ensure you’re getting a quality language education. The additional features, though somewhat flawed, are a welcome addition, too. Other marketplaces are just that—marketplaces. The extra features Verbling offers make it closer to a traditional language learning programme. However, the inconsistent interface is plagued with glitches, and the red tape for teachers makes it hard to continue lessons when they happen. And Verbling’s no-cash-refunds policy means you can’t get your money back if it’s the interface and not the teacher you’re unhappy with. All in all, Verbling is a solid marketplace if you’re looking for professional language instructions. We just wish it was executed a little better. | 3.5 |
