Tiếng Việt Thực Hành [Link] (A site with a lot of resources to learn the Southern dialect of the diaspora community, among other things. Can be hard to navigate, as it is all in Vietnamese. Most textbooks do have at least some English. There is no audio for any of the textbooks on the site, nor do I believe that any exists.)
