His excellency hosted a banquet for the various Khmer communities in the province and an ostentatious cultural shows were performed at our Wat Phum Thom temple welcoming Mr. Son.
Khmer Learning Series on YouTube
Lesson 1: Grade 1, Provided by KhmerSchool on YouTube
YouTube these days have a plethora of information, video information that is. These information ranges in all topics and category; how-to's, tech talks, music videos, and tutorials.
In recent months there have also been an increase in diverse contents from different people as well, cultural specific contents are becoming more available and YouTube continues to be enriched by these different contents.
Searching for topics on Khmer Language for example, I found several uploads by different authors on learning how to read and speak the language. Starting from the elemental, alphabets to higher level reading.
Here for example, video tutorial uploaded by KhmerSchool teaches viewers about the vowels of Khmer alphabets. This is part of a series of lesson with 23 parts.
I encourage all Khmer Language students check out these videos. It is very helpful. You can also visit this website goCambodia for comprehensive reading lessons
