Khmer Practice with Ben!

After last week's introductory video, I thought I would record another in a more conversational style with Ben. He hasn't learnt much Khmer formally but is doing really well to understand what is being said. We haven't quite got up to this topic in lanugage class yet either (that will be next week, I jumped ahead!) but most of the following is what we've just picked up from going to the markets and in our daily activities. Khmer speakers will realise that a lot in there is probably wrong haha, I realised myself that my opening line 'Nih sapeda' (meaning 'this week') should actually be 'Sapeda nih' ('week this'), and the correct word for general food is 'mhoap'. I think 'nom' is snacks? Not sure. I do struggle a bit with the orders of how the words should go, what are the differences between different words of similar meaning, and even just trying to remember the different phrases. I know that most of that will come in time. It's only been 2 weeks of learning! Anyway, enjoy a small glimpse of our market-talk :)
