There are thousands of students learning English who don't know any native English speakers to practice speaking English with. I would like to encourage people to become friends with these people, and talk to them in English.

... (or even friendship) for a European guy in late 20's? It would be appropriate for a European guy in late 20's to be friends with, or date a university student. I know a lot of nice girls. If I met the right males, I would like to help some of them find good husbands. But I would have to ...

Any advice for beginners as far as books, apps and language courses in Pp? Walk along the riverside. When you see a group of people who look like university students, ask them if they speak English. If they do, talk to them. If you get on well with them, ask them if they want to teach you Khmer. ...

... Most are happy if you visit them at their homes. I know a lot of nice girls I would like to introduce to nice potential husbands, many of them university students, but dont know decent foreign men looking for Cambodian wives. If you spend time with Cambodian people, you sometimes have mothers ...

To present a balanced picture: There are some good girls in Cambodia. I think of a group of university students, all genuine girls, all hoping for true love. Not one of them is thinking of scamming their future boyfriend. A few of them are very beautiful. Some of them ...

... some uni students. I have introduced foreigners to my Cambodian friends. But only people I know, who have a decent attitude. I actually introduced university students to a foreigner recently so they could teach him English. I do not give details over the internet to people I dont know. Most Cambodians ...

If you want to get married to a Cambodian girl. Start by getting to know decent girls, like university students or girls with a job. Dont even think about bar girls. Being intelligent is very important. Dont waste your time with a girl you cant have an intelligent conversation ...

... is not a bar girl. The second characteristic, is that she is not a lazy girl. If a decent man was to come to Cambodia, and just focus on meeting university students. If after meeting a large number of them, he decided he wanted to marry one of them, there is a 95% chance she would be happy and ...

... in town. But her family which lived in another town, must never know. She had a younger sister who finished high school, and wanted to go to university. I suggested bringing her here, and assisting her financially. She couldn't do it, because her sister would tell her mother about her boyfriend. ...

I have a lot of female friends who are university students. I have spent most of my time in smaller towns, not Phnom Penh. It is probably easier to meet girls in smaller places, than in Phnom Penh. I have met some girls in Phnom Penh. I speak ...

... to that learning. You can make a difference in the lives of a small number of people. I financially assist students from poor families to get a university education. Instead of things like planting rice and catching fish, they should get a decent job. It really changes their lives. But it may ...

... to Thais ( which I find irresponsible and unreliable>) - I meet a few thai women but all of the has been unreliable. I suggest date either a university student, or a well educated girl who is already working. Good girls wont sleep with you before they are married. Girls who sleep with men ...

She may speak fluent English. She is sophisticated, and communicate intelligently. She is much more clever at ...

Look for either a university student or someone who is working.

Dont even consider lazy girls.

... good ones. My (small) investments are in Australia. I dont plan to buy real estate in Cambodia. I also assist students from poor families get a university education. It is a gift to them, which enables them to escape the poverty trap. The best way to help people is to help them help themselves.

... one great thing, as if everything else we have done is trivial. One worthwhile thing I am doing is, assisting students from poor families get a university education. This is changing their lives. They can look forward to getting good jobs, instead of being trapped in the poverty cycle.

Dont give money to lazy people.

Only help those who put in the effort to help themselves.

I have mentioned, I assist students from poor families go to university.

... if they had been smarter with their money in previous decades. I am in a situation where I am able to assist students from poor families get a university education. If I had not taken a smart approach with my finances, I would not be in this situation. If I dont take a sensible approach now, ...

... a while in Australia. I have limited finances. I like to use my money where it will be of most benefit. I assist students from poor families go to university. This gives them opportunities they would not have otherwise had, and changes their lives. I have also helped with other things, such as ...

You could walk down the riverside, meet groups of university students, ask them if they speak English, and see if they want to be your friends. If you have friends like that, they could help you with Khmer, and you could help them with English. You ...

... thing is to go for a really good one, not the first one you meet. I recommend people date girls with jobs, who dont expect you to give them money. university students, who should get a job when they finish, are another option. Many girls play the game of making the foreigner believe they love them, ...

... the students out for a walk in the evening. They would pick up rubbish and put it in a bin. This group is taught, and involved in, more than just university, and I think they will have a positive influence in Cambodia. There are some good people doing good things.

Let’s say that this Pollyanna story has a happy ending and she sponsors the little homeless girl through school and then onto university… At the end of the day the girl, now a young woman with a professional, or even semi-professional job would have more money in her pocket ...

... When the money stops, the girl is gone. I suggest dating educated girls who can earn their own money. There are thousands of them. If you date a university student, she should be able to earn her own money after she finishes university. If she loves you when you are not giving her money, it is ...

... friendly. Just talk to them. Some speak English well. For the others, you may need to learn Khmer. I suggest dating an educated girl, such as a university student, or a girl who has finished university and is now working. If a relationship is based on you giving her money, the relationship may ...

It is easier to find genuine girls if you get away from the bars and tourist areas. After spending time with university students, I recommend dating a university student, or a girl who has finished university and is now working. Why do foreign men date girls who just want to ...

However, if they have gone through ACE, I’d say one could have an engaging conversation with them.

Why? Because ACE teaches western culture as well as how to speak English.

It’s difficult to discuss geopolitical issues if one doesn’t know where the Middle East is, for example.
