Re: Can you recommend a Khmer language tutor?
Thanks for the encouragement. How did I write "I" wrong? It displays the same on my phone. Maybe it's the way an Apple phone writes it? Or I did the vowel in the wrong order.Samouth wrote:Good one Jacobincambodia. i think there is a mistake in your sentence.Your wrote the word I wrongly. This is the correct one (ខ្ញុំ). However it is really great that you can write khmer.Jacobincambodia wrote:ខ្ញំុយល់ព្រមដែរSamouth wrote:Wow, it surprised me so many CEO members used to learn khmer, not only how to speak, but also how to write. I think it is a good idea if i write anything in Khmer script and post on here. So everyone can practise their reading skill.អរគុណច្រើន
តើអ្នកបានរៀនភាសាខ្មែរប៉ុន្មានឆ្នាំហើយ? តើអ្នកគិតថាភាសាខ្មែរពិបាករៀនដែរ ឬ ទេ?
To answer your question: ខ្ញំុរៀនភាសាខ្មែរសំរាប់ពីឆ្នាំហើយ និងខ្ញំុគិតថាភាសាខ្មែរពីបាកណាស់!! ពីព្រោះភាសាខ្មែរមានអក្សរច្រើនពេក

Great Jacobcambodia. Since you are really interested in learning khmer, so i will try my best to help you.Jacobincambodia wrote:Thanks for the encouragement. How did I write "I" wrong?

Again there are some mistakes in your sentences. So i will re-write your sentences and let you find out your mistakes
Here they are :
ខ្ញុំរៀនភាសាខ្មែររយះពេលពីរឆ្នាំហើយ និង ខ្ញុំគិតថាភាសាខ្មែរពិបាកណាស់ ពីព្រោះភាសាខ្មែរមានអក្សរច្រើនពេក។

Note: In English you might say. I have been learning khmer for two years. The word for can be translated as សំរាប់ ឬ សម្រាប់. However if you use សំរាប់ in this sentence it actually doens't make sense and it sounds really odd to us. On the other, i also make a lot of mistake in English.

បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។
If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

Re: Can you recommend a Khmer language tutor?
If you write the word (I) in Khmer Unicode
you might have to go like this
X + J + shit J + , = ខ្ញុំ
you might have to go like this
X + J + shit J + , = ខ្ញុំ
បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។

Re: Can you recommend a Khmer language tutor?
Right. It also can be meant (For). However, without រយះពេល the sentence above still makes sense.
You can go like:
ខ្ញុំរៀនភាសាខ្មែរពីរឆ្នាំហើយ។
You can go like:
ខ្ញុំរៀនភាសាខ្មែរពីរឆ្នាំហើយ។

Glad that you like Khmer languageStroppyChops wrote:Mrs Stroppy and I want formal Khmer language tutoring at home, an hour a day, 5 days a week, for at least a few months. I will pay $6 per session for a good tutor who can speak conversational English. I am looking for first-hand recommendations from expats please.
