Hello Teacher I found your channel at 919 pm on 11 March 2020. I feel quite good because first there is no background music and you spoke very clear Cambodian language. Thanks you for effort and dedication. Greetings from HK Regards
I wanted to learn Khmer since I was young but did not have anyone to teach me. Finally learned it now that I'm older and now that the lessons are available on RUclips. Thanks for helping me learn my own language.
Are you sure? I've never heard about the second class consonants being pronounced as -er. I've always learned the first class consonants to be pronounced -aw and second class -oh.
Actually for writing phonetic always different by different people. For me i write OR and ER but for you, you can make your own phonetic by writing AW and OH. The problem is you can read it properly or not.
Christopha Soluna Thank you for bringing this small detail up! I knew something was off when the teacher kept pronouncing គ ឃ ង as គើ ឃើ ងើ when it is correctly pronounced (ក៊រ ខ៊រ ងរ) kor khor ngor.
@@Dara-TheKhmerLesson the issue here is not how phonetics is written (as you said, different people have different ways), but truly the vowel sound heard when you say គ, ង. It doesn't sound anything like they are taught and it sounds closer to the គើ, ងើ vowel.
levelThis is the first time i heard the pronounciation of the consonants of the 2nd group, I'v always learned dtor and dto (with "o" sound instead of "er" sound..
@@Dara-TheKhmerLessonចាស.Very challenging. It takes time.I know a little Thai , there are some similarities between Thai and Khymer. Thanks for your help.
On vowels, this is very good - I like the way you put the two sounds side by side. But I think it would much better if 1) you said whether a vowel were short or not, 2) whether the vowel was common, and 3) how the vowel would sound if followed by a បន្តក់ consonant. On the independent vowels, how many do we really need to know for beginning level - what are the words using independent vowels at the beginning level. Thanks again!
Forgot - how would the vowel sound followed by រ, and again, whether common or not. I guess what I'd really like is a video "Khmer vowels - what you really need to know"
រ doesn't change the sound of the vowel. Bantak vowels កត់, គក់/គប់, កាក់, គាក់/គាត់(kɑk, kʊək/kʊp, kak, keək/koət) are kind of missing, but you have them indirectly via the ំ, ាំ, ះ and ោះ vowels, since they correspond to -ម់ , ាម់, ាហ់ and -ហ់, providing an example for kɑm/kʊm, kam/koəm, kah/keəh, kɑh/kʊəh. The short vowels are these + ិ, ឹ, plus all the other ំ and ះ vowels.
Hi, Kelly, actually Khmer alphabet doesn't have sound អ៊័រ. We only have 1st series called អ (or/aw) and 2nd series is អ៊ (er). You heard sound អ៊័រ because pronunciation from different people always different a little bit.
Khmer Lesson The way you pronounce ‘plastic’ in Khmer is ជ័រ and you taught that sound for 2nd series. It’s really confusing because to stand in Khmer is ឈរ but if you taught me that ព្យញ្ជនៈ ឈ is pronounced as ‘cher’ that ឈរ by pronunciation is “wood” in English! I wanna ask is this the new Khmer?
That's right that AW=អ, OR=អ៊ (but អ៊=OR must to pronounce as British accent like the English word " or ") And អ៊័, ជ័រ, ម័រ, we pronounce them as OR series but must use American accent.
@@songlover5145 Exactly I’m confused because some Khmer pronounce the constants incorrectly. ក ខ គ ឃ ង is supposed to sound like kaw khaw kor khor ngor but he pronounces it like kaw khaw Ker Kher Nger (គើ ឃើ ងើ) ឈ
Thank you so much for this! It’s the best video I could find about this topic and I’ve watched it so many times already. I have one question: Some times in Khmer the vowel is not written, for example in ត្រចៀក (ear). How do I know how to pronounce these hidden vowels?
if no vowel, you just read the name of that consonant. if that consonant has sub-consonant, you need to spell with that sub-consonant and need to look that sub-consonant too. Sometime sound will follow consonant and sometime will follow sub-consonant. Consonants in Khmer can stand alone without any vowel and also have the meaning. For example: ក = neck, ត = go on
Actually Er or Oh is not the standard of writing. You can choose your own way to write it if you think it is close to that sound. Don't be worry with this.
@@Dara-TheKhmerLesson My mom says your pronunciation far off. Latin part underneath wrong. Ger suppose to be Kau. Ker suppose to be Kho. ....and so on. Where are you from?
The way you pronounce the 2nd series will confused a lot of people. Er for everything is not proper. You will improperly teach new students the wrong way to pronounce the words!
The way I pronounced is the way that most people in the city did. Pronunciation is always a bit different depending on where they from. For writing phonetics is always different as well. For me i write Er for 2nd sound but the others maybe they gonna choose another style to write. This is why I always tell my students to write phonetic by themselves depending on their listening. Thanks so much Yod for your idea and please let me know if you have any other questions.
@@Dara-TheKhmerLesson Yes. I know people in the city doesn't pronounce some words properly. This is why you shouldn't teach because you will cause other to sound like you! To be a good teacher you must teach and pronounce the correct way according to the dictionary, then the student can adapt to they're own style. Thanks bong!
One more thing Yod, you can send this video to Khmer people who you know and ask them whether my pronunciation is right or wrong and let me know the answer as well. If he or she say it's wrong, please let me meet them. Finally if I think I'm wrong, I will delete this lesson and say sorry to you and everyone but if not you just do the same to me.
@@Dara-TheKhmerLesson Yes bong. But let me clarify, when an instructor or teacher is teaching. Under high standards, they teach according to the literature and teachers pronounce words according to the dictionary. For example! ខ្ញុំ is the literature , but a lot of people say incorrectly. Literature and speaking is different. , but for teacher, you have to be correct if not student will have bad habit.. I am not try to criticize you, just being honest.

I think he may come from Prey veng or Svay Rieng. Because the O consonants don't exist in Prey Veng and Svay Rieng accent. It sound like Er for them.

ឋ ឍ ឌ are these letters used? I cannot find them on my native Khmer keyboard. ( I have to change keyboards to find them)

thank you so much for this! determined to learn but wow the struggle.
You're so welcome!
Thank you! That was so helpful!
Thank you. These are great
Post more like this😊😊😊
why are there two groups of consonants and vowels? Is it to facilitate pronunciation of following sound depending on the group?
And why are there same vowels in both groups?
@@christineloyer2517 best question, rlly
Lots of historical background about how the script evolved to be what it is today
Why is it -er? Shouldn't it be more like oh? For the second group of consonants
Actually Er or Oh is not the standard of writing. You can choose your own way to write it if you think it is close to that sound. Don't be worry with this.
Yes I understand that, but the way pronounced it was also a bit off.
