Can you recommend a Khmer language tutor?
Mrs Stroppy and I want formal Khmer language tutoring at home, an hour a day, 5 days a week, for at least a few months. I will pay $6 per session for a good tutor who can speak conversational English. I am looking for first-hand recommendations from expats please.

Re: Can you recommend a Khmer language tutor?
The best I've had is a college graduate that spoke excellent English and was good at explaining rules, etc.
I used to work with him at a tutoring agency. You can name drop if you want.
His name is Soma.
I paid $5 an hour, but that was because I paid a month up front through our agency.
I'll PM you his number right now.

GM, you heartless bastard, no loyalty at all.
What about the 'you know?' teacher?

I can recommend Sophat and his other Khmer tutors from

They do one-on-one and group lessons

Re: Can you recommend a Khmer language tutor?
First lesson last night, starting out with an hour a day, five days a week, at least four months. The tutor has us learning the alphabet, starting with consonants.
We learned the first five last night and discovered that Khmer does indeed have some tonality, despite what other texts might say. We're also learning to read and write Khmer, and I have not felt this physically retarded in a long, long time. Small children would laugh, and possibly throw rocks.
One interesting aspect is that our tutor days "the sound is x, like in..." and points to a picture of a frog - no connection that we don't know the Khmer word for frog yet! As the Khmer alphabet has over 60 characters, there are sounds our English speaking mouths have never encountered before.
Heck of a challenge, but while it stays fun it should be good.
