Need some tips for learning foreign languages.

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom. You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

BTW I wonder if Ozzie mind me or not if I call his/her name directly?
For example Cambodians respect older people. We shouldn't call their names directly if they are older than us.
No problem for Ozzies darln' of my generation or later. In fact my children call me Dave and if one of their friends ever called me MR XXXX, I would say, " No that's my Dad, my name is Dave and please call me Dave"!

in England if your name is Dave, the Prefix "Big" is nearly always used, so dont be alarmed if i call you "Big Dave" a lot if we go for a beer :beer3:
