Vietnamese Phrasebook: Pho
Speak & Learn: Travel Phrases
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New: the Hanoi/Saigon switch. Hear every phrase in a real Northern or Southern accent. 18 categories, all offline.
Pho gets you speaking Vietnamese the moment you land. Real phrases for the Grab bike, the banh mi stall, the coffee shop and the beach, with natural audio in both major accents. Free to start.
Most language apps teach you textbook Vietnamese in one accent. Then you land in Saigon and nobody says it that way. You do not need a grammar course. You need to order a ca phe sua da, haggle at Ben Thanh market, and tell the driver where to stop.
THE HANOI/SAIGON SWITCH
Northern and Southern Vietnamese sound very different. Pick where you are headed and every phrase in Pho plays in a real Northern or Southern voice. Flip the switch any time. No other phrasebook offers both accents.
SAY IT LIKE IT SOUNDS
Vietnamese spelling confuses every visitor. Pho shows a plain sounds-like line under every phrase (cam on becomes "gahm uhn") plus tone arrows, so you can say it right the first time.
18 REAL-WORLD CATEGORIES
Taxi and Grab, Motorbike Rental, Street Food and Markets, Coffee and Cafes, Hotel and Homestay, Shopping and Bargaining, Massage and Spa, Temples and Pagodas, Beach and Islands, Nightlife, Dating and more. Over 550 phrases picked for real situations.
HEAR IT, THEN SAY IT
Tap any phrase for clear native-style audio at full or slow speed. Short notes explain the nuance, the tones, and which pronoun to use so you sound polite, not robotic.
SHOW THE DRIVER
Turn any phrase into a giant full-screen Vietnamese card you can show a Grab driver, pharmacist or street vendor when saying it feels like too much.
MADE FOR THE TRIP
Search everything in English, sounds-like or Vietnamese. Heart favourites into a personal cheat sheet. Learn the six tones with a 60-second guide. Practice mode quizzes you on the phrases you saved. Everything works offline, no account, no login.
Pho is free to download and explore, and the Greetings category is free forever, audio included. A free 3-day trial unlocks every category, all audio, and Practice.
