Welcome to the latest update of XinChao! We have been hard at work making your Vietnamese learning journey smoother, faster, and more practical. Whether you are preparing for a short trip or settling down to live in Vietnam, these updates will help you speak with confidence.

New

  • A massive online phrase library. We have published 708 searchable phrase pages online, organized by real-life situations. Finding the exact words you need for your daily interactions is now easier than ever.
  • Tailored learning paths. Our website now helps you choose the right path depending on whether you are visiting Vietnam for a holiday or moving here to live.
  • In-app notifications and inbox. Stay on track with our new notification center. You can now receive updates and easily manage your message preferences directly in the app.

  • More core phrases. We have added 53 brand-new core phrases to help you navigate essential daily situations.

Improvements

  • Lightning-fast website loading. We optimized our website by removing oversized files and loading images locally. The entire site now loads instantly, saving your mobile data while you travel.
