Product Description:
The Cambodian language made easy! Cambodian for Beginners is designed for either self-study or classroom use. It teaches all four language skills - speaking, listening (when used in conjunction with the audio), reading and writing; and offers clear, easy, step-by-step instruction building on what has been previously learned. Lots of exercises and useful phrases. Very user-friendly and fun to use. There is an audio version that follows the book. Three CDs are available separately.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A surprisingly thorough little audio language learning package
The problem with most "comprehensive" foreign language audio programs is that they contain way too many tapes/CDs for the casual learner, and thus are out of such a learner's price range. This product, in contrast, seems to have distilled what you really need to know into an affordably modest program.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Mixed Emotions
I do recommend this book, but with reservations. Khmer (Cambodian) is a difficult language to learn with sounds that English speakers are not used to. I purchased this book at the request of my instructor.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Translation NOT Included!
The audio CDs that came with Cambodian For Beginners did not come with any printed material. Nor was there an English translation included on the CDs. Unless you are already fluent in Khmer you will need to purchase the book separately.

The audio quality was so poor that one the CDs was completely not listenable.

Without a doubt this was the worst purchase that I have ever made from amazon.com



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It works!!
the paperback version is simple, user friendly, with a rich vocabulary and many useful tests and conversation samples; you read it and you learn it!
combined with the audio book all that you learn will no longer be mere theory; pronunciation is the biggest challenge with the khmer language and the cd roms help practice over and over with real good results. it is worth to buy them both or the paperback alone (cd roms only is not a good choice - they would leave you...speechless!).
by the way...the ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Write in cambodian without misteries.
It teaches in a easy way to write in khmer language and enphatizes the colloquial knowledge of this exotic south-asiatic language.
