Did you go to school to study? I guess your Khmer is well enough to get around.?!
I've met you last year. I didn't know then, that you spoke Khmer.
Jamie_Lambo wrote:just my interpretation anyway lol
with some words having so many different meanings its sometimes hard to get a completely accurate translation
I totally agree. Not only that most words have several translations, sometimes I also have a hard time translating, because there are words, that you can't translate. You'd need to describe that in English, because there is no word for it. Then the lack of grammar, which makes sentences sometimes difficult to get, like missing subjects. Many sentences get their meaning depending on their context...

yeah i had a private tutor at Don Bosco School last year
i do a lot of my studying now from listening/translating songs
yeah my khmer now is far more advanced than it was even this time last year
now that i can read its so much easier now
just gradually extending my vocab, maybe learn a a new word or 2 every week but its a slow process
its one thing just learning a word but using the word, and using it correctly etc takes practice
