I would also like to see Vietnamese here on LingQ. At the moment I can bridge the time by learning Turkish…

This is not good enough quality? This is Story 1 that you sent me a year ago. Maybe you can survey the learners on LingQ and see if they find it to be tolerable enough or not. This is very clear for me to understand and follows the script very clearly. I don’t think it will be difficult for others to use it. It is comparable to what I find in Vietnamese textbooks.
Do you mean you want it to be consistently the same accent from one audio recording to the next, or do you mean that you want higher quality microphones…?
Most of us are listening to recordings from textbooks like this or similar. In addition, some of us are using Youtube videos to learn from, which often do not use audio quality that is higher than this. Often, it’s much worse! If you compare it to other Vietnamese videos on Youtube, it is very comparable or better. Here are some examples:
- YouTube (TV channel)
Hài Kịch "Môn Đăng Hộ Đối" | PBN 103 | Chí Tài, Hoài Tâm, Việt Hương, Hương Thủy - YouTube (Paris by Night, a very popular Vietnamese show recorded usually in USA)
Bản tin thời sự tiếng Việt 12h - 03/06/2022| VTV4 - YouTube (Government-funded news. Audio quality is similar to attached)
RAP VIỆT Tập 11 | Dế Choắt, 16 Typh, Hydra, AK49, Thành Draw, Đạt Dope quyết đấu cực căng - YouTube (Popular Rap show in Vietnamese)
Bà Tân Vlog - Làm Cốc Cacao Sữa Đá Siêu To Khổng Lồ 50 Lít Giải Nhiệt Mùa Hè - YouTube (Popular cooking channel in Vietnamese)
I don’t think that anyone who is asking for Vietnamese and who is used to the Vietnamese media available will find disappointment in the previously recorded audio tracks, such as the one attached. I hope you will reconsider this. You can always upload it/add it to the site and then update it later on. It’s better to have something rather than nothing.

Mình có thể nói tiếng Việt nhưng chưa giỏi, nói cơ sở mà muốn đọc truyện như Cô Gái từ đến hôm qua - Nguyễn Nhật Ánh và quyển như vậy… cũng đọc tín tức, Wikipedia, etc.

I could understand everything and would have been so happy to have something this quality when I started learning Vietnamese 2 years and 5 days ago. Re-recording them later would have been fine.

@GinaNYC I heard something similar happened to the Swahili language. I hope that LingQ reconsiders delaying release of languages. Language learning is never going to be perfect, and a good chunk of new subscribers would come if their target language was available on LingQ.

I don’t understand a word of Vietnamese but it sounds quite clear to me. Much better than many of the mini stories already available in other languages.

Could be that we don’t need to re-record all 60 stories. Our content managers have correct information and Librarians working on it with them know what stories needs to be re-recorded.
