Welcome to Gateway to Khmer!

G2K is Cambodia’s best Khmer language school – teaching foreigners language and culture from beginner to advanced level.
A Letter from the Founder

Our highly-trained staff teach Khmer with excellence using an internationally-based curriculum. The school was co-founded in 2014 by myself and several others who were frustrated at the lack of quality Khmer language training available. Now Gateway to Khmer offers high-standard Khmer language classes to hundreds of expats each year, equipping them to live and work all throughout Cambodia.
My background is in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) and I have worked in many countries as a teacher. In London I worked for many years as a teacher trainer, training hundreds of novice EFL teachers on the Cambridge Certificate of English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA) course. I have studied Second Language Acquisition, language programme curriculum design and assessment. I have a passion for Cambodia, for equipping people to live and work here and for training language teachers to teach with excellence.
G2K is a school founded on core values of quality, professionalism, respect and excellence. The curriculum, based on the American Council of Teaching a Foreign Language (ACTFL) scale, takes a learner from Novice to Low Advanced in ten levels. The levels build on each other and seek to develop competency in speaking, listening, reading and writing. Our teachers are trained over a 6 month training period and are skilled professionals creating learning environments that are engaging, productive and fun. Adults don’t learn a second language like an infant; they have cognitive ability and like to learn rules and patterns. At G2K we help learners understand how the grammar of Khmer works. We teach new language input in terms of grammar and vocabulary every day and then learners meet and use this new language whilst working on the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing. In the earlier levels we prioritise pronunciation, teaching where the sounds are made and how to hear them and make them. Later levels focus more on literacy. At G2K we believe in teaching language AND culture and see how they must be learned together to thrive here in Cambodia.
