And then there's Youtube. Just don't learn from the Northern accent though.

Doesn't it depend on your purpose?  If you are living in the Mekong delta, the Hanoi accent is not too practical.  My mother in law is from a province near Hanoi but she has adapted her speech to where she lives in order to be understood. 

Northerners seem to get a little huffy about that fact that they speak "proper" Vietnamese.  They are sort of like those in Britain who insist on the "Queen's English," more properly called received pronunciation.  Imagine if New York City and Washington DC spoke severely different dialects.  Which one would most Vietnamese want to learn?

Of course if you are living in the north, that is what you want to learn.
