* If you learn one word or phrase out of this Khmer house section, I would suggest you learn neu na. This word can come in handy if you need to find something or are lost.

So review this lesson for a bit, then head over here at Khmer House Worksheet to do some practice!

After learning these Khmer house words, I’d suggest you learn colors next so then you can say red bed or in Khmer the noun comes first, then the adjective, so bed red would be  grey crawl-home.
