Does your Vietnamese vocabulary desert you at the worst time?

Ever get confused between đường (street), đường (sugar), đường (line), etc? Want to say: "I'll have what they are eating?"

I was poking around the Google App store and I discovered a little gem. and, what's even better, iThingy users don't have a version, yet! Talk about one-upmanship.

It's called Vietnamese Assistant.

Essentially, it's an intelligent talking dictionary. VNA contains 17 categories, or situations, with over 450 sentences/phrase that are well-defined and selected carefully. They cover almost all daily situations:

1. Greetings
2. Need Help
3. Ask for Directions
4. Daily Conversation
5. At Hotel
6. Transportation
7. At Hospital
8. At Pharmacy
9. At Supermarket
10. At Market
11. At Grocery
12. At Clothing Store
13. Eating and Drinking
14. Missing People & Belongings
15. Travelling Around
16. Vietnam Places
17. Number/Date/Time

Only on Android, you say, what a pity!
