Hiring a Content Manager in Vietnam: What to Know

Hanoi scored 532 and Da Nang 509 on EF's 2025 English index, both above Vietnam's national score of 500.

Young writers score far lower

431 was the EF 2025 score for Vietnamese test takers aged 18 to 20, against 544 for those aged 26 to 30. For English content aimed at US readers, mid-career content managers are the safer hire.

Missing tone marks change the meaning

Vietnamese has six tones and five tone marks, per Michigan State University's Vietnamese course, so má, mà and mả all read as ma without them. A content manager should check full diacritics in every page and title.

Job title says little about English

511 was the EF 2025 score for Vietnamese marketing staff, against 545 for operations staff. A marketing title does not predict strong English, so review each content manager's published work.
