During the course, students will learn Khmer alphabets, how to form and read Khmer words, phrases and sentences. Intermediate Level The class covers several basic constructions of the language, enabling students to acquire basic skills in reading, writing, comprehension and speaking. We apply a communicative-based approach in our teaching. Emphasis will be placed on good pronunciation and on the social and linguistic conventions of everyday conversation. Successful students will gain the ability to read and write short simple texts, and communicate on simple topics. Then, they will learn from easy to more challenging Khmer conversations; by doing so, we enable them to understand and speak Khmer more quickly.
