A Vietnamese pronunciation guide along with common Vietnamese phrases are included in the book for the beginning Vietnamese language learner. The music that accompanies the book includes full length recordings of the songs, videos of children speaking the lyrics, speaking practice tracks, and spoken examples of Vietnamese phrases from the book.
