Should we

epidemiks for that? I was just checking it out.

@taabarang, it's a 396 page pdf file, and not for the light reader. Some of it seems to be from Jean-Michel Filippi's work from a decade ago, written in French.

You can't practice listening, from a book.

I quickly read the french preface and scanned the book, not bad but you will need some other ditionnary to learn the meaning of words no?

Camaan. It was on the front page.

Useful for vocab, and will help with those nuances and crazy vowels but will definitely need to finally get that long hair dictionary I've been eyeing off.

Actually, spoken Cambodian in my village is not at all like gangspeak. If you had read the article which touches briefly on the influences of contemporary colloquial Cambodian you would not have made such a far fetched statement.

Anyway, there are no gangs in my village and I'm too old to join any that might form. Once again, I request your help,

"So, I went to the website but I couldn't find a link that led to this downloadable dictionary. I would be grateful if someone would post that link on my post here."

here it is mate... http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0024/0 ... 46360M.pdf

its not all that great in my opinion
i just find it easier learning the word properly then just listen out and/or have my friends correct me to the more collingual pronunciation

yeah i said that on the other forum,
and as UT said you cant practice listening from a book, to fully understand you need to be able to hear the differences

You can to a certain extent, assuming you've mastered that specific dictionnary's phonetic translations, but it has it's limits. Ideally, while living here you can supplement it with social interaction, classes, etc. BTW, is that the proper usage of ´collingual'?
