Vietnamese Language Learning

I bought a set of kids learning books from a company in California, designed for younger english readers to learn Vietnamese. I really could not get into this series. The first book seems designed for the K grade, with a letter-sized book(all the rest in the series is a smaller format, basically half-legal sized) and practice with letter writing (in print) and coloring. I'm not sure how the books correspond to grades, but since my plan was to do cursive first, the whole print thing was a deal breaker.

Couldn't find book 1 while I was taking pictures!

Found this book on Amazon, formerly from the Sacramento Library. It's obviously a bilingual book, while the ones above are mainly in Vietnamese.
