Okay LingQ team what is the deal? Are you guys going to offer more support for Vietnamese? This language is unusable here at LingQ. It is crucial to know which words are connected. and which words are separated when learning this language. You guys need to figure this out. I have been learn Mandarin the past 4 months and making progress, but my heart is with Vietnamese. Please take another look at Vietnamese to make it better at LingQ.

Same with Irish and Tagalog. I thought all new languages on LingQ required grammar guides? They don’t have them. Has anyone told LingQ they should think about adding context-based grammar explanations for words & phrases? Apps like Readlang already have features like that. It could really be helpful.

If you look in the Vietnamese subforum then you’ll see various suggestions for how LingQ for Vietnamese could be improved. Support say that it is being looked at but I suspect with only low priority.
I rather suspect that unless you are actively trying to learn Vietnamese, especially as a beginner, then you don’t really realise how big an obstacle this multi-word issue is. Right now, i’ve had to pause my efforts at using LingQ pretty much completely until some progress can be made to fix the issue. TBH if LingQ were being honest as a company then IMHO Vietnamese should be withdrawn as an active language until the issue is addressed. Right now Vietnamese is simply not fit for purpose.

According to LingQ, there are only about 2000 “words” in Vietnamese; therefore, it is not possible to ever get out of Beginner 1. I have reached about 1400 “words”, and there is almost no text with any new “words”.
Vietnamese works just like Mandarin and LingQ has a pretty good solution for Mandarin, but not for Vietnamese. It has been 1 year without this essential improvement. How can we add content, when any words are not recognized in Vietnamese?
I concur with others that Vietnamese word grouping / recognition should be a high priority.
