Muk Khmae: Khmer Beginning Textbook


UPDATE: January 31, 2010. Please read before ordering!
Both Beginning and Heritage Textbooks are in stock and ready to be shipped. The price of (UPS Ground) shipping in the continental US is included in the price of each Textbook. I'm in the US from now until the end of April, 2010.

If you are located in Cambodia or Thailand, note that I will be in Phnom Penh very briefly during the week of March 20-27, and again in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap in early May, 2010 and Bangkok from mid-late May, so if you order a textbook between now and late April I will deliver it to you in one of those locations with no shipping charge. To ensure getting a book, however, you should order no later than March 15 for March delivery (Phnom Penh only!) and April 25 for May delivery (Phnom Penh and Bangkok).

Folks who live anywhere else in the world (Canada, Europe, Australia, etc.) should contact me by e-mail before you order a book, so I can tell you how much you need to pay for shipping. International shipping will be done by US Postal Service, and I will split the cost of shipping 50/50 with you. E-mail me for details).

This is the textbook we use for Beginning Khmer at SEASSI and the University of California-Berkeley. It assumes no previous knowledge of spoken Khmer, written Khmer, or Khmer culture. If you grew up in a Khmer-speaking home, you should instead check out the Heritage Textbook.
