Cambodian

I'm English, living in London with my Cambodian wife. I'm currently studying Volume 1.

Will Volume 2 be uploaded?

I'm not aware of anyone working on it. That's not to say that it won't ever be uploaded here, but it's not likely in the near future.

"Cumriep sue" Selkirk, great to see another student of Khmer!

if you haven't done so, you may have some luck checking whether this is held by a local public or university library. I was able to locate a set of Vol 2 in a library in my country (Australia), and it is certainly of value in developing oral and written skills. BTW, I can't post it here, as it is an Audio-Forum version, as so not public domain. (And the audio is terrible in places, so I also hope for a good copy to be posted here one day.)

You probably already know this, but the audios for Huffman's excellent Modern Spoken Cambodian are available online, at http://cls.yale.edu/cambodian/ , and the text is relatively cheap from Cornell, or even cheaper from a library.

cheers.

Hi zonker,

Regarding Modern Spoken Cambodian, (some of) the text is available here http://spokencambodian.110mb.com/ , and all of it (I think) is here http://books.google.com/books?id=_IlVol ... q=&f=false

The original contained a lot of drills that were only given phonetically. They are being added in Khmer here http://km.wordpress.com/tag/modern-spok ... an-course/ , as yet incomplete.

I just finished basic cambodian and redoing contemporary cambodian. Any chance of having the audio of volume 2 for both sometimes in a near future ?
p.s. fsi, you are doing an amazing job making these available online, thank you !!!

I see Multilingual Books has the complete audio for volume 2 available for $49 in MP3 download. That doesn't seem like a bad price given that there were 29 tapes in this volume. Of course the audio can not be posted on this site since it did not come directly from a US government source.
