Yes, the kids learn spoken English at least by osmosis in many cases from their watching of TV and several forms of social media via ICT etc. And those around major tourist sites trying to flog you something also seem to quickly develop basic spoken English too.
I am in regular communication, at least two or three times a week, with one Cambodian woman, age 30, who family I have known at Kg Speu since 2011, who is currently a vendor/seller in a suburban Phnom Penh market, with very limited written English who has solved the problem by simply using her Oppo smart phone and Viber in association with Google Translate. I am not entirely sure how she is doing this so effectively for us to be in real time conversation so regularly but however she is doing it it is working well.
So, yes indeed, there are many avenues for the Cambodian youngsters of today to acquire spoken English skills.
