VIET 3

About this course

This course provides further development of the topics and materials presented in VIET 1 and VIET 2. Basic Vietnamese will be further introduced and practiced within a cultural framework to help improve the four major linguistic skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The course will also include an introduction to proverbs and literary texts for a better examination and appreciation of the Vietnamese people in terms of their language, culture, life, and civilization.

No section is scheduled at De Anza College for Fall 2026. The course can still be offered in a later quarter.
