Why? You will be fine without knowing them. We don't use them quite often in writing.

Because I am learning to write Khmer, and I can never remember which way these go!

If you remember Srak Ai(vowel Ai) then you will know how to write 6.
5 is similar 4.
And 7 is similar 2.

i don't know how people here learn how to read khmer. it is really challenging. I think first you need to learn our 33 consonants and more than 50 vowels. This might requires a tutor. Let hear from other expats experiences.

Yep, definitely with a tutor because pronunciation is king.
