This course builds on the previous course, Vietnamese 1. The course focuses on practical and essential topics of everyday language use such as asking for directions, traveling, planning a trip, distances and modes of transport, shopping and bargaining, and talking about one's future plans. The course covers important grammatical topics such as tenses, usage of conjunctions, and more complex particles. Attention is given to the social and cultural context of language use. As students’ vocabulary and grammatical repertoire expands, Vietnamese learning at this stage is exciting and delightful. Even with limited Vietnamese, students might be amazed at how much they can express their ideas or tell their stories using simple language.
