English learning checklist for Vietnamese learners

Work through this list at your own pace. It’s the same framework our editors use when testing tools for LessonPicks.

1. Your goal Why do you need English right now — work calls, IELTS, moving abroad?
2. Your budget Pick a monthly limit in USD and remember card conversion fees from VND.
3. Your schedule Block 2–3 speaking sessions a week at times you can actually keep.
4. Your tutor Try 2–3 teachers; look for patience, clear feedback, and useful homework.
5. Daily practice On off days, add 15 minutes of listening or casual speaking — consistency beats cramming.
6. Your progress Every month, do a mock call or practice test so you know what’s improving.
