LEARN KHMER!

Any good Diplomat knows he or she should learn more about the people and culture of the country they are working with...speaking the language might be a bit more tough...so here is a fun page to help you do just that - Learn Khmer!

OK, maybe you might not fully learn the language - but just for fun, see these websites...or you could travel to Cambodia and work with the YSC Students like us!


So now you can speak it, why not type it?

Not quite so ambitious? Then try this site for travelers:
