Muk Khmae: Khmer Beginning Textbook


UPDATE: August 31, 2010. Please read before ordering!
Both Beginning and Heritage Textbooks are in stock and ready to be shipped. The price of each textbook is $70 USD, including DVD. The price of (UPS Ground) shipping in the continental US is included in the price of each Textbook.

I will be in Thailand and Cambodia for five weeks in December/January. If you'd like me to hand-deliver a textbook to you (i.e. no shipping charge) in either country (Bangkok or Phnom Penh), you need to order (pay for) the book online by November 30. Note that I will not bring any books with me that aren't paid for in advance.

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.
