For those who have been living here for years might have already learned all of these or perhaps they are using them everyday with their Cambodian students. Therefore this first khmer lesson is mainly for those who have just moved or planned to move to Cambodia.
A friend of mine on facebook introduced me to this forum as he believed that since i am a Cambodian, so i might have something to share about my culture, country and people with CEO members and more importantly to help them with their khmer lessons ( Especially for those who are interested in learning Khmer). Please let me know whether you guys like it or not. Also if you find this lesson boring, please let me know and i ain't gonna post more lessons.

Very cool thanks. I keep forgeting words, so a good reminder.
Those who find it boring can go to the pub

Good stuff Samouth!
Can you read and write Khmer? If you can please add Khmer script to your lists. Thanks!

Did you know that according to According to ancient Cambodian writings there were six seasons of 59 days each: ហេមន្តៈ, រដូវរងា cold season; សិសិរៈ, រដូវរងាខ្លាំង very cold season; វសន្តៈ, រដូវស្លឹកឈើលាស់ season of growth (in trees); គិម្ហៈ, រដូវក្ដៅ hot season; វស្សានៈ, រដូវភ្លៀង rainy season; សរទៈ, រដូវចុះអ័ព្ទ foggy season.

Now we must be in the very cold season
