Customer Reviews

Not bad, Great when you consider what else is out there.
This is a good entry level to get you started learning Khmer (Cambodian Language). There is not a lot of material out there, so we have to take what we can get. They are planning on making more courses, but it takes time. If you want to learn basic things like where is the hotel, and how to count to 20 this is a easy way to do that. But it does seem more geared to kids than adults. I liked learning the names of body parts so I could practice with my 2 year old nephew as he learned where is eyes, ears and mouth was etc.

Overall I am pleased, you certainly get what you paid for.

Good, Simple, Effective
This is a good, simple, easy to use program that has an option for your MP3 player also. I would recommend it for getting some basic conversation down.

acceptable for the price
All I can say is that Pimsleur or Rosetta Stone really need to make a kmer program because I haven't found anything decent yet. I'm welcome to any suggestions.
