Eight Years Old Cambodian Girl Explained English Grammar Really Well With Great Accent

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

She somehow explains it better than some native speaker English teachers.

Two things jump to mind; What school does she go to? and What do her parents do for a living?

I have found that kids who started learning in the lower grades have good pronunciation. What surprises me though is that they often still miss the plural "s" and put everything in the simple present. Work that one out if you can. :?

Yes British English-quaintly archaic. You will mock Americans who dare to say, "I've gotten tired of this" instead of " I've got..." but you find no contradiction in saying "ill begotten gains." You are a troubled lot

How about Yorkshire English. It will make your ears bleed. Stop the glottal stop.

Oh, that? Couldn’t do it. Don’t matter.

Oh that? I couldn’t do it? It doesn’t matter.
