The absolute best resource for learning to read Khmer.
First published in 1970, this text stands alone as the best source for those learning to read Khmer. Part One is a thorough but easily-followed analysis of the Cambodian system of writing. Part Two is a programmed text so well thought-out that one cannot help but quickly grasp the material. Part Three is a beginning reader. What Mary Haas did for a generation of...

Good content but poorly bound
This book is for those who are serious about acquiring Khmer. The phonetic key was very helpful. I was fortunate to have help from a native speaker and it still took me a while to figure it out. The pronunciation can be problematic for those completely new to the language. The pages comes loose after about every five pages.

First published in 1970, this text stands alone as the best source for those learning to read Khmer. Part One is a thorough but easily-followed analysis of the Cambodian system of writing. Part Two is a programmed text so well thought-out that one cannot help but quickly grasp the material. Part Three is a beginning reader. What Mary Haas did for a generation of students of Thai script, Franklin E. Huffman has matched and perhaps even surpassed for students of the strikingly beautiful Khmer system of writing.

A great book to have on hand for the beginner and for those who's primary language is khmer. This book is a must have for anyone wanting to have an
in depth look at khmer writing styles and formats. I was intriqued with the clear, concise, and pronunciation excercises. As a Khmer/American, I learned alot more than I ever did. Thanks!
