VietNamNet Bridge - Vietnamese language classes have been set up for Khmer in Tri Ton District, An Giang province, to help them integrate into society.
A class to teach Vietnamese language in Soc Tuc hamlet, Le Tri commune began 45 days ago and now has 20-25 students.
The makeshift class operates from Monday to Wednesday, but is sometimes extended until Saturday at the students’ request. Learners are of all ages, most of them women. The teachers are local soldiers and government employees.
Lieutenant-Colonel Tran Thai Hoa, deputy head of Team 31 of the An Giang Provincial Military Command, said the class is organized by his unit and the Soc Tuc hamlet authorities.
Agencies in Le Tri commune and Tri Ton district provide notebooks, boards and chalk for the class. During power outages, Team 31 provides generators to the class and covers the cost of generating power.
“There remain some difficulties, but we are very pleased to see the Khmer try to learn Vietnamese,” Lieutenant-Colonel Hoa said. Within a short time, many students could write and read simple words and sentences in Vietnamese, he said.
“Knowing that Soc Tuc are teaching Vietnamese free of charge, many Khmer in Sa Lon want to enjoy the same,” said Chau Kun, the head of Sa Lon hamlet, Luong Phi commune.
So a class was set up at Sa Lon pagoda with 30 learners. The teacher is Chau Nuone, who works without pay. Electricity for the class is provided by the pagoda.
Another class was later opened at Pong Ro pagoda, the Ton Farmers’ Union and the Chau Lang authorities. This 30-student includes seven Buddhist monks, said Tran Van Ut, the Union chairman.
Also in Chau Lang commune, there is a class with all the 30 students being female. Whenever there is a power outage occurs, this class continues on the dim light of candles,” said Thach Thi Phi, the teacher of the class. “We know learning in such conditions is not good, but we have to do so to please the Khmer students.”
“The Khmer are very interested in learning Vietnamese,” said Nguyen Thanh Dan, a member of the Party Committee of Tri Ton District. “To date, Tri Ton has opened eight classes with more than 200 students of all ages. We are planning to set up more classes to serve 1,000 students.”

the khmers forced to lern viet, it is very good but we khmer should lern khmer as well, and when we understand the both language, we could topple over viet and claim our Rights as khmer.
Long live all khmers
khmer kramuon sor
Why they not forced to learnt Khmer, I knew that most of female Khmer Krom can't read and write Khmer.
How ever, it's steping stone to learnt both languages, but we need to forced them to alocate time for them to learnt both languages at the same time.
Long live Khmer Krom.
Khmer Krom from former Kleang Province
Very soon every Cambodian throughout 24 provinces will need to learn the Vietnamese language for better between the two nations. I believe this is a thing for the two countries.
Vietnamese is not any better than Thais towards Cambodians. What they want is our land to share.
What they do such as above is with a will for the benefits of their country believe me nor not.
Kbal Khmer dam Te Ong is still in my ears when talking about Vietnamese.
Dear compatriots,
The situation of our country is getting worse.
As Xihanouk, his adoptive father, Hun sen is not satisfied with his current PRIME MINISTER position.
As Xihanouk, he has had great ambitions: HEAD OF THE STATE
To gain this position, he has to get rid the KING KONG SIHAMONY.
With 90 members of Parliament of CPP and 2 members of FUNCIPEC who will constitutionally abolish the monarchy as LON NOL had done, and name WHO as the HEAD OF THE STATE of Cambodia:
HUN XEN?
CHEA SIM?
HENG SAMRIN?
Dear compatriots.
THE SAME SCENARIO WILL UNDOUBTEDLY HAPPEN AFTER THE DEATH OF OUR GREAT KING KONG "SDACH THMIL" XIHANOUK
AND OUR BRAINLESS KHMER PEOPLE WILL TERRIBLY SUFFER ONCE AGAIN.
Khmer Nostradamus
Dar Da Dek Dei, DO MA KONG KAK...Joy dek euy ma kov min trup...LOL
The fucken Vietcong government makes sure that Khmer people will never learn enough to go to college or university to pursue higher education in Vietcong institution! No matter what the fucken Vietcong government is trying to do and the Khmer Krom people will always be an oppressed people!
It is so funny to see that the fucken Vietcong teacher use flash light in the classroom! Is this a good thing to make Khmer people learn in the dark?
The Vietcong language is a dead language reserve for the Viet population and not for the Khmer population!
In the US, people learns English. In France, people learns French. In Japan, people learns Japanese. ... . And in Vietnam, people learns Vietnamese. This is just a compulsory educational law for most country. It is not an assimilation.
Just keep speaking Khmer at home and teach your children how to read on write Khmer. Also speak Khmer in your community.
Their dream of Vietminhzation won't have any effect.
No problem, if you don't mind being a poor slob for life.
You might see it funny and make a joke of it but prepare yourself to learn Vietnamese. It's just the matter of times. And no way around!!!No kidding!!!Watch out!!!Luy Dollar Srey Sra Kara OK Thai close border Khmer ott ei si Yuon trang yok. Yuon bet tinh siem mdang!!!Lok sre chol Bar Chenh pi rong chak tov chak sra Beer!!!
Oh man !!! Sad is it???
no matter how good of Vietnamese we learn we will always be poor slobs according to the racist Vietnamese. Why? Because nothing changes, they're learning this language for no reason.
Learning other language is not bad, but before jumping into others we need to make usre we able to read and write our own first. Base on others study report found that, most of Khmer Krom female are unable to read and write Khmer.
