Khmer Lesson 1- Hello, My name is

[TheIspy365]

lol thx...i bet my cambodian friend i would learn how to say hi in her language xD cnt wait to show her...if i dnt forget =P

[TKLINBKK]

Very helpful videos I am going to PP and Angkor Wat. I can speak Thai and some Lao so learning Khmer seems easier than learning Mandarin.

[luckylesable]

so your cambodian?

[toxicburn1]

pretty good, thanks man !

[MrCangoods2]

So the "n" with the tilde over it is pronounced like it would be in spanish? So it would be like "Kniom??" Or not. Is it just Knom?

[dharokio]

i'm gonna be travelling there to do social justice with my school soon :)

[6591393167]

Hi I'm from Singapore. I'm volunteering on and off in a Cambodian orphanage teaching the children English. I find learning Khmer a challenge but I have to say you are a good teacher of Khmer and definitely will refer to your postings to learn more!

[Khrloveee]

@khmerdu94 @Khmerdu94 Why is Chinese language "racist" and "stupid"? Why is Chinese language the worst? Chinese is the most spoken language in the world mind you. And apparently your English is pretty much stupid you Ching Chang chong chintok.

[Sunnyday3005]

This is one ugly language!

[Khmerdu94]

@Sunnyday3005

And your chinese language is an stupid and racist language with Thai language who any guys say you : "ching chang chong chintok" and your language is very racist and worst than english and all language haha lol

[aday4you]

I just started learning Khmer... your video is really very helpful. Thanks so much...

I will study them all. Ralf from Germany.

[paullevesque]

can anyone tell me what these phrases mean pls.

na ke neng bong

jeng chear sen jos

trov tae choeur na oun ..pros ey bong min teun jong ban sonsa tei na

ber mean songsa tov 1 songsa tov bong

yab.yey douch peark slaok jeng nor

[criskity]

soo-ah sdey = Thai "swasdi" (sawatdee), ultimately from Sanskrit "svasti" (= su + asti), well-being. Same root as "swastika". "asti" (to be) is also cognate to Latin "est", German "ist" and English "is". It's all connected, I tells ya!

[Suwandi]

Thanks for uploading!

[blommasidan]

You did a really good job :) Thank you very much:)

[Thelovekhmer1]

Hello Sadsushi. I am learning Khmer. I am just getting started, I love they way you write out the words and then repeat them several times. That is very helpful to me at this point. If I can, can I request you to upload some lessons for me? I really would appreciate. If so, can you do a video for vowels?

sincere thanks...

[Xiquad]

well "chmo" is bitch or smth in my language :P

[mvasque5]

[st0rmch1LL]

THANK YOU!!! MAKE MORE

[KrissyNorthPhilly]

[blixicat]

[theworldindepth]

Thanks for the lesson. very much appreciated.

[Kien8486]

My boyfriend, Kim Chheng, is Cambodian-American. =)

[Kaasboernr1]

[SadSushi]

@Kaasboernr1 No, I just live in Japan. I'm not Japanese. lol

[Kaasboernr1]

[Moonchevre]

I have a Cambodian maid that doesn't speak anything other than Khmer. I'd like to be able to talk to her about household things like cooking, cleaning, and caring for children. Can you help me?

[rhemadojo]

Thanks for the video lessons! It's very simple and I can easily grasp it. I am looking for Khmer language lessons and it's hard to find one here in the Philippines. Keep up the vids! ^_^

[iisslo]

merci encore pour cet video

[100oikos]

Hi,

I'm English but need to give a short speech in Khmer (200 words). I'm getting it translated but need someone to record the words so I can hear how they sound. Is this something you could do for me?

Thanks

[Autodidact40324]

This video is just great! Thanks for all your contributions, they help my pronunciation a lot.

[prmsolver]

tehe im cambodian i can understand the language quite well but i cant pronouncve the words very good

[Oscar443300]

Excellent video, keep making more please

[Corinalicous]

[POCOSTiCKSXD]

I already speak fluent Khmer but i still wanna learn i need to improve that 2 3 weeks in Cambodia didnt pay off LOL

[NapoLoso]

nice man, hope to learn some Khmer from your vids... greetings from Mexico

[SadSushi]

@NapoLoso gracias, como estas? Greeting from Japan. hehe

[sarasvati97]

@SadSushi I have always been interested in many cultures and countries, Cambodia among them(especially about the Cambodian genocide). I love learning languages and Cambodian sounds beautiful. Thank you for your good work. It is difficult to find many language books. Take care.

[usakhru]

Excellent, your English phonetic spelling for pronounciation is excellent.

[SadSushi]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[DesertB0rn]

great stuff, i'm cambodian but havn't really spoken it since i was young. your lessons are a great refreshment.

[hotpopcorncake]

that looks hard to remember

[SadSushi]

just listen to it over over and over. hopefully it sticks.

[SadSushi]

I used "kñom" instead of kńom because English doesn't have that consonant so I used the "ñ" from Spanish ie: "pequeño" (small). It was the closest sound I could find.

[yefftom2]

@tawansweden

Dude, proper Khmer is written with that Khmer alphabet, so there are no ł, ą, ę and so on at all... ;)

You can really write any script of Asian languages? All the kinds of Perso-Arabian script, all the kinds of the Azbuka, all the devanagari and nagari variations? The Tibetan script? The Japanese and Chinese script? The Hebrew script and the Armenian script? The Thai, Gujarati, Tamil and Sinhala, Korean, old Mongolian, Cantonese or the old Aramay and other scripts?

;)

[yefftom2]

Yep, thats the romanization.. and when romanized you can write it any way you want, he could have used the czech ň as well and it would change nothing. There may be a frequently used way of romanization, but this doesnt mean that another ways cannot be used.

[Kinghercules]

Im in Cambodia now and there are some sexy ass bitches over here! DAMN!!

[hunidabby]

der :)

[Bella815]

thank you SO MUCH for this, i really wish i could learn khmer but its... impossible? to find someone to teach me in my city

[funnyguise]

Thanks a ton!

[howlee88]

Hey, great work.

You have the best and easy lesson for American to learn, It i ssimple and easy to follow. Thanks for the great work. Please do more lessons. I enjoyed. Thanks a great deal

[BlazinLy]

hey its cool that you have this. losing how to speak khmer is embarassing

[aziostic]

very well - but 'knom' (I/me) would be better if the pronounciation was spelled 'kyome'

[SadSushi]

It would be better, but there is no standard romanization for Khmer so I just romanize it the way I want to. Plus romanization is a crutch. Just ignore it if you don't like it.

[DMPineau]

I usually see it romanized as K'nyom.

[JumrunKhoan]

I'm cambodian but was never taught khmer and i cant find a rosetta stone for it would another one help at all like Vietnamese or Thai? sorry if its a stupid question

[SadSushi]

Sorry, I've never used rosetta stone. So I can't answer your question.

[treeme1000]

[tobiasguild]

[SadSushi]

[gamguy777]

Awkun.

My friend from Battambong drives me nuts.

When I say soo-uh SDAY, he says no, it's soo-uh-SDIY.

When I used SDIY, he says it's SDAY.

I had errors in some of my videos because I was just starting to learn how to write Khmer. I have a khmer dictionary now so I make less mistakes. If I do then it's just a careless mistake. ^^
