See why students love learning with Be Like Khmer.

I've been studying with them for over five months and am extremely satisfied with my progress in speaking, reading, writing, and listening. They were even able to accommodate my initial request for a rigorous 30 hours of instruction per week. Beyond language, the teachers also offer valuable insights into Cambodian culture, history, and customs. They are patient and respectful, and have a genuine desire to provide a gentle and welcoming introduction to the country.

The school is Cambodian-owned and has years of experience teaching foreigners from diverse backgrounds. For me, the personal touches, like the teachers' well-wishes when I was sick, make the experience even better. I would give them a 10/10 and strongly suggest trying a lesson if you're interested in learning Khmer.

  • I have lived in Cambodia for 10 years.I have attempted to learn the Khmer language 4 times. But every time I found it too difficult or just lost interest, that is until I found BLK. As an older student, I find language learning a bit challenging, but the teachers at BLK are professional and patient. I highly recommend BLK for anyone who is truly interested in learning Khmer.

  • "Great school for helping you live smoothly in Cambodia! The teachers are great at explaining things, in particular pronunciation which I’d really struggled with, but then my teacher was able to tease apart exactly what I was doing wrong ."

  • "The teachers explain things clearly while being warm and approachable, which makes the classes enjoyable. I’ve made real progress in both speaking and listening, and I can now use Khmer in everyday life. The school has also become a place I truly enjoy spending time. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to make steady progress in the language while enjoying the process."
