Although English is common almost everywhere in Vietnam, you may still find a Vietnamese phrasebook with pronunciation useful.
At least with this, you'll feel much more confident. Especially if you learn a few useful phrases in Vietnamese. Vietnamese is most often needed in restaurants, to figure out the menu. It's best to print out a Vietnamese phrasebook, so you're not dependent on the charge level of your gadgets.
tripmydream has prepared a small English-Vietnamese phrasebook for you.
