"Chum Reap Sour," "Hello"

The time is now.  I am refreshing and learning my Khmer.  Khmer is the official language of Cambodia.  There are 76 letters in the Khmer alphabet.  Mastering the language is very challenging because it is predominantly a tonal or phonetic spoken language.  I understand most of the words, but speaking the language is difficult for me.  Over the next several months I will join voice chats online and spend a lot of time with Mom to practice and practice and practice speaking Khmer.  

Coming soon, I will share my study abroad proposal that I am currently working on with my faculty advisors since I will be traveling alone, and I will write more about my preparation to Cambodia. 

Chumreaplea!
