Learning your own language is not a criminal act. You deserve the right to learn your own language and everybody has the right to learn his/her own language. So, please learn it and teach it to Khmer Surin children as the Americans, the Chinese, the Thais, the French learn and teach their own language!

Congratulation to your world of struggle to protect the rights of preserving language and culture.

We should spread the word for the website for the www.studykhmer.com to the younger generation everywhere. Pass it on via email to someone young you know. With Frank as an virtual teacher, everyone wants to learn. He's funny and fair. Job well done Frank! Thanks!

This is the first time for my life to see A foreigner, Mr. Frank, who is not only speaks Khmer fluently but also helps our Khmer Surin brothers to learn Khmer. I am very proud to see our Khmer Surin brothers learn our Khmer language that is a backbone of our culture. I also thank Mr. Frank and Mr. Cheymokel who help to promote our culture in Surin where most original Khmers have lived for generations.
