I'm an American who has been living in Cambodia for years. Not in the big city living with foreigners, but in the countryside with my Cambodian wife and neighbors. As a consequence, I've learned some of the language and I've found a reservoir of humor and intelligence in their language that has irresistibly drawn me to know even more.
It is my hope that others will add to this blog site. Please understand I am interested in all facets of the language, if you're an overseas Cambodian and your hip-hop songs are a mixture of Cambodian and a second language, send it to me. I may not print everything, but I promise not to be "snotty"or squeamish."
Poems and short stories are also welcome, especially ones in which there is interaction between foreigners and Cambodians. Although expat/bar girl stories fall into this category, I' m not really interested in them, Khmer440.com already offers a forum for them.

- I/ve done many things in my life, but the best thing I ever did was come to Cambodia, fall in love and marry Kheang. The next best thing I did was quit teaching, leave Phnom Penh and live in the country.
