any good Tieng Viet/Englsh Dictionary?

[Winston]

a friend suggested me to buy a book "Make love in Vietnamese", which I felt was no suitable for really learning the language. Anyone have any good suggestions? I'm am at a very novice level

I think Collins do a good one. I like the way that the most commonly used words (and many look the same) are the ones that are given priority. I got started by downloading the Byki program from www.byki.com. Its a flash card system and also speaks. You also need to get familiar with tones. This is quite a good web site

We have Singaporean English. When will we have Singaporean Vietnamese? I am kidding but your introduced site is excellent.

hi everyone...i wonder if there is any online (english-vietnamese / vietnamese-english) dictionary that comes with sound of the tones y0u can click to listen (as vietnamese is a tonal language)..?

thank you...

[alvin]

hi pluto, that's great..but i just started and cannot really speak much..that's why i need to know the correct tones when talking..
is there a go0d online dictionary anywhere..?

[pluto]

one of the best vietnamese dictionary is Baamboo Tra tu. But it has no Vietnamese pronunciations for you too.
For listening skills you should follow some audio & video program like:
