Hi
 
Thank you to all who have put this wonderful resource at my disposal, it is an absolute treasure trove!
 
I see that the volume 2 Vietnamese PDF was recently added. Are there any plans to include the tapes in the near future?

I'm also waiting for Vietnamese vol. 2 tapes. I guess no one has provided them yet. It's been in limbo ststus for a while so I don't think any time soon. Fingers crossed though. But thanks to whom ever provided vol. 1. cheers!

 The Saigon-dialect on the web-page. The Vietnamese language of MASS-MEDIA,  literature is based on the Hanoi capital-dialect. It is a difference. The Hanoi dialect has six tones, instead of five in Saigon. The oficial vietnamese language is  ''dialect of Hanoi'.  Because of the fact I refused vietnamese tapes of http://fsi-language-courses.com/ - http://fsi-language-courses.com/

Hey,

Your post is so great. Mine won't be of a huge interest neither but i just wanted to emphasize on such useful comments.

Nice for u. Being from Siberia with different pronunication than from russian, i do confirm that your post is a whole non sense, unfruitful and that you made a good choice in choosing to refuse tapes.
 
So wish you a good learning process, my dear northern colleague and do not head to the south of Viet Nam, i heard they were making pretty bad tapes...

I am interested in learning the southern dialect. All of the vietnamese people I know use The Southern Dialect. My wife Uses the southern Dialect. When I visit Vietnam it will be mainly the South.
 
I think it is wrong to refuse these tapes as every other commercially available text and audio lessons use the northern dialect. For Actual speaking purposes those are worthless to me, as I would be able to utilize the Speakers I know and communicate with and they all use the Southern Dialect.
 
I would like to thank all those people who have contributed to this great resource, but, I am begging you please allow the Second Set of tapes to be uploaded.

I don't think it is a case of someone withholding those tapes from the site.
 
I read JPG's post to mean he personally disagreed with using the southern dialect not that he had the Vol 2 tapes. The link he refers to is this site.
 
Still hoping for these tapes to appear.
 
Regards
 
Michael
