What language software program do you recommend for learning Vietnamese?

I am looking for a software program for learning Vietnamese. Does anyone know of one out there that actually teaches the correct dialect (south vs north vietnam)? Thanks in advance.

    I’m half Vietnamese and just married a Viet girl a couple months ago. I had not spoken Vietnamese since I was a young child, and had to learn it again very quickly. That in mind, I’ve reviewed several programs to learn Vietnamese.

    The two most popular programs are Rosetta Stone ( http://www.rosettastone.com ) and Pimsleur ( http://www.simonsays.com ). Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Rosetta Stone uses audio and visual technique, which requires it to be used on a computer. Pimsleur is almost entirely audio and can be played on a CD player.

    Rosetta Stones is probably a better way to learn Vietnamese or any language, but Pimsleur is more convenient because all you need is a CD player.

    Good luck to you!

    As for software, I haven’t seen any. I’ve only found a bunch of textbooks but I think some of them might come with a CD.

    With the dialect, it’s hard to find one that will offer both dialect.
