 <p>What also helps immensely in memorising the alphabet and the tones is reading Vietnamese sentences. You don't have to understand the meaning yet, just read to remember them for now (don't speak it aloud, it goes against the immersion rule, or reading too much, it may affects your Vietnamese pronunciation)
 I recommend practising by trying to read some storybooks, which you can find <a href="https://global-asp.github.io/storybooks-sah/stories/vi/">here</a>.</p>
