American soldiers were partially trained in the Vietnam language before they left to fight, but most certainly did use a language dictionary while there. It didn't take them long to pick up some of the language fast because it kept them alive.

Many American soldiers (depending on where they were stationed) could speak fluent Vietnamese.
