INTRODUCTION
Learn Cambodian, the book containing English dialogues,
phonetic, Khmer translation, vocabulary,
some grammar rules, useful phrases,
and sound record as well.

(2018 The Khmer Lesson)

Welcome to Learn Cambodian Language,

The Cambodian language, also known as “Khmer”, is spoken by approximately


15 million people in the Kingdom of Cambodia.

Welcome to learning Khmer with the LEARN CAMBODIAN book! It is divided


into three parts with each part containing a number of dialogues typically used by
Cambodian people in their everyday life. The scripts are written by Khmer Lesson
Team, a service provider in tutoring Khmer to foreigners living and working in
Cambodia.

In this book we have compiled simple dialogues which will enable foreigners to
easily learn Khmer at a basic level. This book also contains phonetic and Khmer
translation, grammar, Khmer spelling and vocabulary. Also included is Youtube
link (https://www.youtube.com/learncambodian) for sound record so that
listeners can practice correct Khmer pronunciation.

Please note that there is no standard phonetic transliteration of Khmer into


English. All phonetics used in this book were developed by Khmer Lesson Team.

We hope you enjoy learning Khmer and at this point we would like to say: Let us
get started and let us learn Khmer!
