I think you will find their spoken English to be equivalalent or better than yours.

No actually nerve damage in the fingers and the lack of caring, the message was obvious even to you, a self appointed spell checker?

Just a light-hearted joke I think. I hate "grammar nazi's " too, but in the context...

Ours do, but I can't be sure about yours.

Re: Are cambodian people speak english?
how about you try to learn the language? you certainly won't be moving here any time soon with all the restrictions so I suggest you use the time to learn to speak Khmer. Would anybody get by in your country if they didn't speak English? If you are committing to live here for a year and truly want to get the best experience, be able to shop in local markets, engage with the locals, go off the beaten track then knowing Khmer will be great for you. Many Cambodians of course do make the effort to learn and speak English so you can easily live without bothering to. However, don't get angry if people don't understand you or frustrated when you can't explain to a driver how to get somewhere or don't understand the price of something and think you are being cheated just because you don't speak the language and they don't speak English.

Re: Are cambodian people speak english?
Sure why not. As long as you don't want to be an English teacher. Just come and see for yourself.
Re: Are cambodian people speak english?
Hard to say something after that.
One of my goal by coming in that forum is to write more in english also. So hope it will be not too much for you guys with my great language skills.
But yeah i understand what you mean. My apologies...
