Tieng Viet Oi
For shifting work schedules, our pick is Tieng Viet Oi. You set lesson times and locations directly with your tutor. Package rates drop to VND 340,000 per hour in the 30-hour package, against VND 390,000 per hour for plans under 15 hours. Tieng Viet Oi also teaches in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, but its fixed-schedule group classes meet at the Hanoi office, so in Da Nang you want the one-on-one or private-group route.
You must prepay tuition after the initial lesson. A private group of 2 to 5 pays VND 6,450,000 per person for 30 hours. Contact info@tiengvietoi.com. Details: tiengvietoi.com (opens in a new tab).
Go Vietnamese
For pronunciation focus, Go Vietnamese is our pick. Its conversation sessions run on Skype, Zoom or Google Meet, and you can choose a tutor with a Da Nang accent. Beginner courses run for 45 hours.

The school is at 95/5B Ba Huyen Thanh Quan Street in Ngu Hanh Son, so in-person lessons suit you if you live near My An or the beach. Contact info@go-vietnamese.com. Details: go-vietnamese.com (opens in a new tab).

The worst part is when you try your best vietnamese with perfect pronunciation and locals just receive to understand you. Sometimes they call a nephew that can only ask "where you from" to speak to you in English, while you actually speak their language. Sometimes they just wave you off. Last week i was in a gas station in rural area. I noticed they had a fridge with drinks, so I asked the lady for water(in Vietnamese), I did pretty good mimics as well. She just waved me off, saying no no. Then I asked her how much, she took out a calculator to show me numbers. When I repeated 10k in Vietnamese, she again just waved me off, totally refusing to understand me. That's the hardest part of learning vietnamese and it's very demotivating

Pimsleur does a good course for listening and speaking. TVO (tiếng việt ới) is a VN language center that does great videos in both northern and southern dialects on YouTube. HanaSpeak does virtual 1-1 lessons worldwide and has a good online platform. In my experience, Duolingo and books don't get you very far on their own.
