Latest reviews of Khmer Video Dictionary - Translate, Learn and Speak with Video Phrasebook app for iPhone and iPad
Id like to have more words pronounced: family, celebrations, radio/TV context for example
Im very happy with this app, its the best one Ive found to learn how to speak Khmer. Its very helpful to see the speaker say the words and phrases. There arent many apps available for learning khmer so I have all of them, this one is great.
Good app! Its really easy to use and learn Khmer. This is the first app I found to learn the Khmer basics.
Leaving for my first trip to Cambodia in just 4 weeks - and this app is a real find! The visual, audio and written words all make this user friendly and a great way to learn the language!
The app is great for learning the pronunciation of basic, useful phrases. I can also see where it would be great as a tool to play out loud to help a Cambodian understand what you are trying to communicate. The favorites section is very handy for storing those phrases that you may need to repetitively use. What I would like to see added is a word translator/lookup. For example: I can find a phrase to say "table for two people, please", but I would like to know which word is the actual word used for "table", or "people". Then I could simply say, "A table, please", or "Two people". Also, it would help me to see the phonetic pronounciation under the phrases. I have been doing this in a notebook for my own use, but it would be tremendously helpful within the program! Thus, when I look up the word for "please", I have written it as "met-tah". Or, for "See you tomorrow?" I have written "Jew-up ken-ee-ah ken-S-eye?" (Ah, that phrase may not be in the program...but you get the idea, I hope!). Anyway, just some thoughts. I am glad I purchased the app, regardless. :)
