The rest of the week runs on English.
School, friends and activities all happen in English, so your child may understand Vietnamese but still answer in English.
Help your child speak Vietnamese with family, not just on Saturdays.
SayViet, by Achieve Education, is online Vietnamese speaking practice at home, alongside Vietnamese school. Cô Vi, your child’s virtual coach, models each word.
Free one-page midweek plan
A 5-minute plan for Monday to Friday that keeps the week’s Vietnamese alive.
Vietnamese school is a real start. But it’s one day a week.
Your child gets a teacher, classmates and new words at Vietnamese school. The days between classes often pass without much Vietnamese at home.
You feel guilty that the language is slipping away on your watch.
Between work, school, and everything at home, there’s little time left to practice, and you may doubt your own Vietnamese.
Every child deserves a voice to be included in their family.
Grandma has stories to tell. Without the words, you end up translating, and some of the story gets lost.
We’re here to help your child learn Vietnamese with 
You already show up for Vietnamese school, and that matters. You don’t have to be the teacher on the days between classes. SayViet brings ready-made lessons, a virtual coach and a learning buddy to practice with.

Cô Vi
Virtual Coach
Cô Vi models new words so your child can hear them, say them aloud, and try again.
Bảo
Your child’s learning buddy
Bảo learns Vietnamese right alongside your child. First tries feel easier when a curious little dragon is trying too.
With your child can learn in three easy steps:
Keep Vietnamese school exactly as it is. SayViet adds practice at home, alongside Vietnamese school, on the days between classes.
1 Learn it at home
On the days between Saturday classes, your child picks a lesson, a Story Time book or a game with Bảo. There’s no schedule to keep: a greeting one day, a story the next.
2 Speak it with Cô Vi
Your child sees the words, hears Cô Vi say them, and practices aloud in the comfort of home. They can repeat as often as they like, finding their own voice for real conversations with family.
3 Use it with the people you love
Your child brings words learned with SayViet into real conversations with Grandma: a hello at the door, a question about her day, one small moment at a time.
One membership, a whole village to explore
SayViet is set in Bảo’s storybook village, where each building holds a different way to practice.
Monthly and yearly plans include the whole village: 20 speaking lessons with Cô Vi, 20 Story Time books, Foundations, games, worksheets, Bảo’s Cottage and Parent Corner.
Don’t let a language gap become a generation gap.
It doesn’t happen all at once. It happens quietly, one week at a time.
- Vietnamese school is one day a week, a real start your child can build on at home.
- Words from class need practice on the days between classes to stick.
- Without that extra practice, the effort fades week after week.
- The potential is lost: your child never builds the foundation to speak Vietnamese with Grandma.
More words. More confidence.More moments together.
With , help your child grow from first words to real conversation so they can feel like part of the family.
Xin chào, bà!Give your child the words to talk with Grandma.
Short, manageable activities and warm encouragement help keep practice engaging, with Cô Vi and Bảo cheering your child on. Word by word, a hesitant speaker can grow into a confident one, at home, alongside Vietnamese school, and the next video call with Grandma can start with “Xin chào, bà!” (Hello, Grandma!)
Less translating for you, and more of Grandma’s stories in her own words.
Choose a planQuestions parents ask
Does SayViet replace Vietnamese school?
No. SayViet supplements Vietnamese school and doesn’t replace it. Keep class exactly as it is; SayViet adds practice at home on the days between classes.
Is SayViet a live class?
No. There’s no live teacher and no class schedule. Cô Vi is a virtual coach, a character created for SayViet. She models each word so your child can hear it, say it aloud, and try again.
What ages is SayViet for?
Any age. SayViet is organized by level, not by age. It starts from first words, so a young child, an older child or a parent learning alongside can all begin at the beginning, and the Story Time books come in Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced levels that you choose by how much Vietnamese your child already knows.
Which Vietnamese does SayViet teach?
Southern Vietnamese. Cô Vi speaks with a Southern accent. If your family or your Vietnamese school uses a Northern or Central accent, most words are the same but some sounds and a few words differ, so try the free lesson pack first and hear Cô Vi for yourself.
Our Vietnamese school meets on Sunday, or it’s on a break. Does SayViet still fit?
Yes. There’s no schedule to keep, so your child can practice on the days between classes and keep going through school breaks.
Do I need to speak Vietnamese to help my child?
No. Cô Vi, your child’s virtual coach, models the words, so your child hears them from her, not only from you. You can sit alongside and learn together.
My child understands some Vietnamese but answers in English. Can SayViet help?
Understanding and speaking are different skills, and speaking grows with practice out loud. In each speaking lesson, your child sees the words, hears Cô Vi say them, and practices aloud. They can repeat as often as they like, at their own pace.
Will my child stick with it? Will teaching fall on me?
You don’t have to be the teacher. Short, manageable activities and warm encouragement help keep practice engaging, and Bảo, their learning buddy, tries new words right alongside them.
What does a membership include?
Both memberships include the full SayViet program: 20 speaking lessons with Cô Vi; Foundations, with 29 letters, 12 vowels and 6 tones; 20 Story Time books in three levels, Beginner (mostly English), Intermediate (half English, half Vietnamese) and Advanced (all Vietnamese); the audiobook The Pan That Sings; videos, interactive games and Free Play; printable worksheets; Bảo’s Cottage and rewards; and Parent Corner, where you can follow your child’s progress. Your child explores these learning areas through the village map.
What’s in the free lesson pack, and what does it cost?
The full Lesson 1: Greetings, all 12 Vietnamese vowels, and the complete first Story Time book, Lớn! (Big!), with its quiz. It costs nothing: create a free account and complete a $0 checkout. No card, no expiration, and no automatic subscription.
What do we need?
A device with a web browser and sound, plus a microphone to practice speaking with Cô Vi. There’s no app to download.
Monthly or annual? What’s the difference?
Only how you pay. Monthly is $29 a month. Annual is one $275 payment a year, which is $73 less than 12 monthly payments. Questions about billing or cancelling? Email Support@achieve.education.
How do I cancel?
You can cancel anytime from your account page. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you’ve already paid for, and then it doesn’t renew.
