It is designed for English speakers who are studying the Vietnamese language, traveling to Vietnam or using the language on a daily basis to interact with Vietnamese speakers. It has both Vietnamese to English and English to Vietnamese sections, with enough depth that it may also be used by Vietnamese speakers who are learning or using English.

Divided into two parts--Vietnamese-English and English-Vietnamese--this concise dictionary has a total of 25,000 entries. The entries given within each section include all everyday words and expressions used in educational, cultural and tourism contexts in Vietnam today. The entries give core information about:
  • Parts of speech of the headwords.
