Or even more difficult ... learn Australian.

I think it then depends if you are learning a language to use in Cambodia, or if you aim to work overseas or for an international company.[/quote]Anchor Moy wrote:Samouth wrote:Samouth wrote:If You were asked by your Cambodian friends to give him or her some suggestions on what foreign languages beside English that she or he should learn, what language would you suggest and why ?
... BTW, Are there really many German companies in Cambodia?Bitte_Kein_Lexus wrote:Chinese, Japanese or Korean. Spanish and French are good for travelling, but not for much else (though French is quite useful here, because of the high number of French businesses and expats). German is a business language more than anything. Given tbst there are relatively few German companies here that I know of, I wouldn't say it's a very useful language for a Cambodian to learn. ..
I think i will just use it in Cambodia, but my aim is to work with international companies where speaking other language than English is a bonus. BTW, i also do think about working oversea, but i don't think i can work somewhere else than Southeast Asia. So, just speaking English should be fine.

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

haha but there are some Russian who don't consider themselves as Westerner if they are from the Asian part.Anchor Moy wrote:Russian ?Samouth wrote:Yes Chinese is a must language for Cambodian to learn for the fact that there are more and more Chinese came to invest in Cambodia, however i personally don't like working with Chinese people.

^^^ Agree with BKL. Those were the languages that came to mind for me.

How about Esperanto?
I think learning a language we have to have a goal.
I want to study English, Thai , Chinese and Fench.

No! I like Europe but I'm not interested in it. Only learning English is enough for me.Username Taken wrote:And, how about Esperanto?prahkeitouj wrote:I want to study English, Thai , Chinese and Fench.

Esperanto is not limited to Europe in any way. It has a notable presence in 120 countries via The Universal Esperanto Association. The Cambodian Esperanto Association was founded in 1993: http://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/e ... s-cambodia
Anybody should learn the language that they want to speak. If they do not want to speak the language then they will never learn it. There is no point in advicing people what to learn. They will learn what they want to learn either way.
