As an learning (and conversational) Khmer speaker, I tried the Khmer module.

It's an absolute disaster in both romanization of Khmer characters and pronounciation. Simple words like 'arkun' are pronounced _very_ incorrectly and the romanization is incomprehensible.

Have you found any good resources that you'd recommend for Khmer? My fiancee's family is Cambodian and I thought it'd be fun to learn a bit of the language, but sadly found it kind of poorly supported when I went looking through the usual apps.

Ling is okay, but a bit formal. My partner is Cambodian as well so having her help with what's "valid" or not helps a lot.

The best resource is a personal tutor, they're really affordable on Italki or Preply ($10-15/hr). I can recommend one in particular if you're interested - it's actually the same person as this youtube channel (which is also a good resource): https://www.youtube.com/@Dara-TheKhmerLesson
