SURVIVAL KIT
Street missions. Real Vietnamese.
Short lessons you actually say out loud: dialogues, voice drills, quizzes, then a reward—not a grammar textbook bolted onto a vacation.
Start with a 3 day free trial: toggle HN (miền Bắc) or SG (miền Nam) on every line, plus voice drills for daily life in Việt Nam.

WHAT YOU GET IN THE APP
Built for sidewalks, not semesters.
Here's how XinChao Survival actually behaves on your phone—the same loops your team ships from the dashboard library.
Survival missions
Each pack is bite-sized missions: micro-learning, voice practice, roleplay with dialogue choices, then quick quizzes—finish for XP and badges.
Leveled paths
Modules group into Beginner, Survival, and Legend-style bands so you climb from “Xin chào” to street-smart bargaining and transport talk.
Streaks & XP
Keep a daily streak, bank XP, and sync progress when you're back online—built for travelers who dip in between stops.
YOUR PATH
Three bands. One app.
Home groups survival packs the same way the mobile app does—sample modules below match real pack ids in the catalog.
