no idea. my parents went last year and speaking french will get you a long way according to my dad who speaks french.
you could buy a phrase book that spells things out in english phonetically, you'll sound like a dingus but it would work
I found a english-vietnamese phrasebook PDF http://www.culturalorientation.net/resources-for-refugees/phrasebooks/english-vietnamese-phrasebook-with-useful-wordlist , its not phonetic so the accent marks are gonna be tough since its a tonal language
text to speech could probably work though
The old guard still speak french due to colonialism and the school system that existed. They younger generations tend to be much more fluent in English so it's about picking your audience imo.
