I am being tutored in Khmer, every Wednesday and Friday from 8 to 10 am. We started learning the alphabet - to read and write and to pronounce the vowels. I still have a way to go but last Friday, Sokram, wanted to teach me some 'conversational' phrases. So now I know how to say, "This is a table" and, "What day is today?" and most useful: "This village has many bats." Although she translated it as "This village has many dark." Not until she drew me a picture did I realize it was a bat. BTW, this town is full of bats.
