Learn to speak Khmer out loud

Most Khmer courses stop at recognising words. In 4ToSpeak every Khmer sentence ends with you saying it, so the skill you build is the one a real conversation asks for.

How it works

Four steps for every Khmer sentence

One loop you repeat on every sentence, ending with you speaking Khmer out loud.

  1. Step 1

    Order

    See a Khmer sentence and rebuild it in English from a bank of words.

  2. Step 2

    Translate

    See the English and build the sentence in Khmer, word by word.

  3. Step 3

    Listen

    Hear the sentence spoken in Khmer, then type what you understood.

  4. Step 4

    Speak

    Say it out loud in Khmer and see which words landed and which to try again.

Speaking Khmer

Why speak Khmer from day one

The sounds, rhythm and word order of Khmer stick when you produce them, not when you recognise them. Each sentence you say out loud gets you closer to the way a real Khmer speaker talks, and the speaking step shows you which words you landed.

Khmer is written in the Khmer script. You hear and say each sentence while you learn to read it, so the writing system is never a wall in front of speaking.

Khmer questions, answered

Can I learn Khmer for free with 4ToSpeak?

Yes. The free plan needs no card and has no time limit. You get 25 daily energy, about 3 to 4 full lessons a day, and the whole module store is open to you (some modules cost coins you earn by practising).

How does 4ToSpeak teach Khmer speaking?

Every Khmer sentence goes through four steps: you order it, translate it, listen and type it, then say it out loud. The last step is the point. You hear how close you were, word by word, instead of tapping an answer.

Do I need a microphone to practise Khmer?

Yes, for the speaking step. Your browser asks permission the first time, and it works on a phone, a tablet or a computer. The other three steps work without one.

Do I need to know any Khmer already?

No. Lessons start from short everyday Khmer sentences and build up, so you can begin from nothing.

What script does Khmer use?

Khmer is written in the Khmer script. You do not have to master it before you start. You hear and say each sentence while you learn to read it.
