The concept of bad language

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

You could start learning the language now. It is not too late to start.

You've been totally owned about ten times on this thread. Time for some self-reflection.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Can you give us an example of someone who learnt Khmer later in life please? I really need your examples so that I fully grasp your meaning. Thanks

I could give you some examples of young foreigners who learned Khmer very well, before even coming to Cambodia. They are usually camped out in the backwoods trying to surreptitiously spread their word.

I can think of a man who retired and came to live in Cambodia. He has learnt enough Khmer to have simple conversations with Cambodians. Because he does have conversations, he will continue to learn more. In 5 or 10 years time he will probably speak Khmer quite well. So it can be done.

I don't think it is right to name people other than criminals. If he or anyone else wants to speak for themselves, they are welcome.
