My comments

The Khmer sentences are built in a simple way.

Example : I am going to school = Kniom teuw salarim (I go school)

But the Khmer writing is often beyond comprehension to occidental people except if they have studied our language.

Anyway it is relatively easy to manage in practical situations. My pratical glossaiy is aimed to help you but it will be a great pleasure for me to help you to improve your pronunciation on the spot.
