One day I'll have to write a blog post exclusively about my awesome Khmer tutor, but for now you all will just get a photo. I just discovered this woman a month ago and she has been a lifesaver. Her name is Arun and she lived in the US for 20 years after she married her husband (who was volunteering in a refugee camp she went to during the Khmer Rouge). She has led an incredible life and is also fluent in English and Khmer, which makes learning from her a piece of cake. She's teaching me how to read and write and I'm actually enjoying it! I have no idea if I'll actually get the hang of it all before I leave, but I'm certainly making progress. (And yes, fellow PCVs, she does have an oven AND a refrigerator) |
