How can we help?

Puchi is a Vietnamese learning app for English speakers. It teaches Vietnamese the way it is really spoken, with short daily lessons, tones from day one, the right way to address people, and stories about a Vietnamese family, in either a Northern or a Southern accent.

Puchi is being built for iOS, Android and the web. See the home page for the latest availability.

Puchi is free to start. The free plan has some daily limits, and Premium removes them. There is no in-app payment yet; Premium is unlocked with a gift code.

No. You can start as a guest straight away. Create an account when you want to keep your progress and use it on more than one device; your guest progress is carried over.

A short session is enough. Lessons are designed to take about five minutes, and you choose a daily goal that feels easy to keep.

You choose when you first open the app, and you can change it at any time in Settings. Every word and sentence is recorded in both accents, and the two are never mixed in the same lesson.

Vietnamese has regional vocabulary as well as regional sounds. For example, father is bố in the north and ba in the south, and spoon is thìa or muỗng. Puchi shows the variant for your chosen accent and labels it clearly.

Yes. Sentences come with a slowed-down recording as well as the normal-speed one, so you can hear every tone clearly.

In Vietnamese the tone is part of the word, so ma, má, mà, mả, mã and mạ are six different words. When you give the right word with the wrong tone, Puchi tells you and lets you hear both side by side.

XP is a score you earn for finishing lessons. A streak counts the days in a row you practise. The daily goal is how much you want to do each day. Puchi has no hearts or lives, so a slip never blocks you.

Your streak starts again, but you never lose lessons or progress. Come back whenever you like.

Words you have learned come back at spaced intervals, just before you would forget them. A short review session keeps them fresh.

Lessons you have already loaded keep working without a connection, and your progress is saved on your device and synced when you are back online.

Puchi has no passwords. You can sign in with a one-time code we send to your email address, or with a social account such as Google, where that option is offered.

Sign in with the same email or social account on the new device. If you started as a guest, register first so your guest progress is attached to your account.

Wait a minute, then check your spam or promotions folder and make sure the email address is spelled correctly. If it still has not arrived, request a new code; only the newest code works.

In Settings you can set your daily goal, your time zone and whether Puchi reminds you to practise. Reminders are push notifications and are only sent if you allow them on your device.

Email privacy@puchi.io.vn from the address on your account and ask us to delete it. We delete your account and learning data as described in the Privacy policy. A delete option inside the app is planned.

Premium removes the daily limits of the free plan. The app shows exactly what is included, and we will tell you before anything changes.

Open the Premium screen in the app and enter your code. Codes can have an expiry date, so redeem yours before it expires. Please do not share codes publicly.

Check for typing mistakes such as the letter O and the number 0, make sure the code has not expired or already been used, and that you are signed in. If it still fails, email support@puchi.io.vn and mention when and where you got the code.

Not yet. There are no payments in Puchi at the moment, and Premium is unlocked only with a gift code. If we add paid plans, we will show the price and terms before you are charged.

Your email address or sign-in details, your learning progress and settings, basic device information, and technical logs from our servers. The Privacy policy lists everything and explains why.

No. Puchi does not record your voice or ask for microphone access.

No. The Vietnamese voices are generated with text-to-speech and reviewed before release. We say so openly and credit the tools on the Attribution page.

Thank you. Please tell us at support@puchi.io.vn with the lesson name and what sounded or read wrong. Corrections from native speakers are especially welcome.

Email support@puchi.io.vn with your device and operating system, the app version, what you did and what happened. A screenshot helps.
