2.0 out of 5 stars Not quite what we needed

My husband and I purchased these tapes as we are moving to Camodia soon and wanted an overview of the language, which we need to learn.

Unfortunately, we found the tapes to be quite useless without a workbook or anything to follow along with. The instruction seemed more advanced than the very basic knowledge we wanted -- other than the section where the instructor taught us numbers -- so we now will be using another form of instruction in order to learn simple Khmer.

1.0 out of 5 stars very poor
Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2005
Colloquial Cambodian......A complete course if you happen to buy the book too. CD pack is usless by itself. Have to buy the book too. A great marketing ploy by Mr Smyth.

CD wastes alot of time.... keeps saying... In this lesson 16 we will explore....blah blah.. Then In this next lesson number 17 we shall look at exercise 22 in the book.....( if you happen to have the book). You just hear alot of Khmer words with no English to explain what they are saying. CD has no order. Very poor to try to learn any words....even like Hello or thankyou. If you want to learn Khmer... dont buy this. To waste even more time it even has several interviews (all in Khmer) about how difficult it was to farm under the Lon Nol Goverment...blah blah blah.. More of a History lesson Than a Language program. To understand the interviews you have to be Khmer as there is no English translations. ( or perhaps thats written in a different book that you have to buy aswell.)

2.0 out of 5 stars Audio book only not sufficient.
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2012
The marketing for this product is deceptive. It makes it look like you are getting a CD - book combination, but that is not so. That being said, the price for just the CD set is very high, as the materials are really not sufficient for standalone use. The speakers on the CD speak relatively quickly for beginners, and the CD doesn't offer enough repetition for it to sink in. As a learning method, I don't think it is very functional. It is useful for hearing pronunciation, but the teaching method is inferior to that of say, Pimsleur or the like. I even found the 'Easy Khmer Rhythms' audio book ($6 on audible), to be more useful as an absolute intro tool. They do more repetition and definition of the words so it is easier to learn the terms and familiarize with pronunciation. Overall, I would not recommend using this CD set in isolation. If you purchase the additional book too, (doubling the price) it might be a more useful series, but I have not done that.

This is very important if you have or buy the book. This will help with listening skills and pronouncing, which are very important.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Product
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2010
This is NOT a product with which you will be successful. The sentences presented on the tapes are not spoken slowly or in sections. There is no presentation of singular words for repetitive practice. A complete waste of my money.

2.0 out of 5 stars book should come with CD otherwise it ain't a complete course!
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2007
I think in some ways the CD could be good, but the fact that it is NOT! Sold with the book, but is advertised as a complete course?????

All so, a lot the the dialogue is too long to start with. It should build up, not begin with long sentences. There must be better out there.
