FFS - not even consensus on the alphabet?

I thought that was strange, too.Username Taken wrote:In the real books, they don't include the 'joeung' consonants on the alphabet chart until later in the book at page 44.

We have the first book, Jacob, apparently it's the second book we'll cover and our first is for kindergarten students. Must be pretty advanced kindergarteners.

Re: FFS - not even consensus on the alphabet?
My teacher is alright.
He basically asks me what words I want to use and teaches them to me. And we focus purely on speaking. Since day one he's encouraged me to use my own "Phonetic System" (ie Write the word down how I hear it). At different times I tried to learn different phonetic systems but realised it's much easier if I follow his advice.
I basically use him to practice pronunciation (what part of the mouth/body/tongue the world is coming from) and sentence building. I make more progress if I spend time at home doing memorization of words.
I'm not that interested in writing/reading Khmer.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think they have a very rich literary tradition, I think they are much more social, so it makes sense to learn the speaking part to me.

Looking at the transliteration, it doesn't appear accurate to me?FreeSocrates! wrote:0Njtjb20vZC8xNC8wNi8zMC9vcmlnaW5hbC91cmU2eTdlaCYjNDY7anBn[/img]StroppyChops wrote: By cross compiling three different sources I get this:

Jacob, it doesn't make sense to me either, but maybe it's what works for Stroppy?
We'd have to meet with him and listen to how he pronounces the letters.

Re: FFS - not even consensus on the alphabet?
Any specific letters, Jacob, or on general? There were a couple of translit systems available, I didn't put a whole lot of science into selecting this one as I use IPAJacobincambodia wrote:Looking at the transliteration, it doesn't appear accurate to me?FreeSocrates! wrote:0Njtjb20vZC8xNC8wNi8zMC9vcmlnaW5hbC91cmU2eTdlaCYjNDY7anBn[/img]StroppyChops wrote: By cross compiling three different sources I get this:
