Talk Now! Learn Khmer - Beginning Level2 reviews

Windows | EuroTalk, 2003

Great first words vocabulary builder

This is a nice program that shows you pictures and pronounces the words. And has quiz games where you match one of a choice of pictures to the word sounds. The games are very helpful in developing recognition of spoken Khmer words. Since Khmer is so different from English, you can not learn ...
  
  











  



  
Colloquial Cambodian: A Complete Language Course (Colloquial Series (CD))18 reviews
David Smyth

Routledge, 1997

Great CD for the car, but you will need the book!

+ You need this if you have/buy the book
+ A good introduction to learning Khmai.

This is the CD companion for the book, although I actually got the CD before the book. I had studied a little bit of khmer when i got the CD so I didn't really need the book till later. Still, if this is your first attempt, just getting the CD alone won't be enough. The CD is well made for ...

Muriel Paskin Carrison, Kong Chhean

Tuttle Publishing, 1993

Offers great insights into traditional Cambodian culture

What better way to get to know a culture than through its folklore? This wonderful collection includes Cambodian folktales passed down for centuries--even millenia--before being written down in the late nineteenth century.

Cambodian System of Writing and Beginning Reader (Yale Language Series) (Yale Language Series)2 reviews
Franklin Huffman

Originally published by Yale University Press, 1970. Reissued by Cornell Southeast Asia Program Publications, 1970

The absolute best resource for learning to read Khmer.

First published in 1970, this text stands alone as the best source for those learning to read Khmer. Part One is a thorough but easily-followed analysis of the Cambodian system of writing. Part Two is a programmed text so well thought-out that one cannot help but quickly grasp the material. Part ...
  
  











  



  
Khmer Basic Course Vol. 2 FSI (29 audiocassettes & text)1 review
Im Proum, Richard B. Noss, ...

Audio-Forum, 1976

Still the standard, stand alone Khmer language course.

Though some would say the material is dated, the historical material is certainly important, and this FSI course is the most thorough of its kind in the small world of Southeast Asian language studies. The patterns taught remain relevant and stand the test of time. The audio is clear, the pace ...

Modern Spoken Cambodian (Language Texts)4 reviews
Franklin E. Huffman; Charan Promchan; Chhom-Rak Thong Lambert

Originally published by Yale University Press, 1970. Reissued by Cornell Southeast Asia Program Publications, 1984., 1991

The best book for serious students and linguists

+ Huffman - comprehensive, but how do you say that?!

This is a must buy! This is by far the best book for learning real colloquial khmer. Out of all the books, Huffman gives the most indepth explanation and goes into more linguistic details than any other book out there. The index on grammer notes is a wealth of knowledge and I've found just by going ...

Jewell Reinhart Coburn

Shen's Books, 1998

An attractive tale that can be savored by readers of all age

Underneath the vast differences between the customs and way of daily life in this colorful Eastern land of long ago and the settings of the traditional Cinderella story are enough similarities to enlist the interest and sympathies of the modern-day reader. More important are the universal values ...
