Either you didn't recognize the actor's genius or the general Khmer lack thereof.

Re: English TV shows for Khmers?
im British, Rowan Atkinson is/was huge here,
i was surprised he was still popular in a random country the other side of the world 25+ years after i used to watch it as a kid,
i would have thought Mr.Bean would seem dated to the millennial generation, but its still absolute comedy gold

Not English but US ...The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park ??? Some cartoon movies maybe ? Or Shrek etc ?
Or episodes of Friends or Sex in the City ? Depends on her tastes.
Most English humour is a little difficult for non-native speakers. Except of course, Benny Hill. What about Ab Fab ?

Fair point there but do you not think that the humour in Family Guy and South Park would be even more difficult to follow, especially with all the American references ?Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Sat Aug 05, 2017 8:06 pm

Re: English TV shows for Khmers?
That's why I said that it depends on what the girlfriend likes - and can identify with. I've watched the Simpsons in three different languages and it's the familarity of the characters and the scenario that helped me follow the plot even if the language is difficult.bobsboots wrote:Fair point there but do you not think that the humour in Family Guy and South Park would be even more difficult to follow, especially with all the American references ?Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Sat Aug 05, 2017 8:06 pm

I can say firsthand that both cartoons and animated movies helped me a lot to learn a second language and culture. It's entertaining visually, and it doesn't matter too much if you don't understand all the dialogue at first.
Just IMO of course. Everyone has their own way of learning.

^^ I agree with your way of learning.
Family Guy has sure helped my kids to learn all the swear words.
