Asian-English varies from each country. Cambodian doesn't sound like neither Vietnamese nor Thai and etc. Are you Irish? I always find it hard to understand when i speak with Irish, but i love the tone even though it seems really hard to comprehend what they were saying.

Typing khmer in English is the worth(Worst) thing. I hate it. Sometime it took me so long to get what it mean. No surprise if you can't understand, since i am khmer still feel that it is not easy.

haha corrected tbh i think cambodian english is far easier to understand than the likes of thai and viets because of their tonal language it makes it sound really bad, khmer-english is far clearer apart from the mentioned things, i also find some khmers find it hard to use the letter 'V' in words, my ex used to come out with "i Lub(love) you Mery(very) much" haha we was also laughing at my friend who was speaking to her boyfriend via skype and she said "call me tomorrow when you make up" and we was like "wake up... Wuuuhhh-ake up" she found it impossible hahaha

Came across this cute little sign in a restaurant i stopped in some village in Laos

i have to talk with a broken english cambodian accent when im speaking english to a khmer haha
