Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose to study at G2K?
G2K’s comprehensive curriculum was developed by experienced international professionals in the fields of language research and teaching, and focuses on listening, speaking, pronunciation and culture throughout. Our teachers have been trained extensively in-house with our own curriculum and techniques, and receive ongoing professional development.
Could you tell me information about your classes or program? What do you offer?
- Full-time (mornings for 8 weeks)
- Part-time (2 afternoons per week for 8 weeks)
- Evening (1 or 2 evenings per week for 8 weeks)
- KickStart Khmer Basics (afternoons for 2 weeks)
Does G2K only teach language, or will I learn about Khmer culture too?
Are there any out of class/ social activities for students?
Could I observe a class in action?
Do you offer evening/ weekend classes?
Do teachers use English or Khmer in the classroom? I am not a native English speaker – will I struggle in class?
The classroom language is Khmer. Our teachers work with native speakers of many different languages, and use tools and techniques in the classroom that generally do not require students to understand English. Some teaching materials use small amounts of written English, but have been developed in such a way that they should be easily understood regardless of your English proficiency. English is our main administrative language (along with Khmer), however we make every effort to support all students with study, admin or finance questions. G2K students are also quickly able to administer their studies in Khmer.

Can I start Full-time and change to Part-time later (or vice versa)?
When needs change we aim to support students to continue their studies, and it is possible to move from Full-time to Part-time, or vice versa when you go to your next term as the curriculum is largely the same. However, it may not always be possible to accommodate students wishing to move if the class they wish to join is already full, or if for any reason is not running on the desired dates. If you know this may apply to you, let us know when you join, or as soon as possible, and we’ll try to do all we can to help.
I’m returning home for a period/ planning a trip, can I take a break from studies?
Yes, however, it may not always be possible to accommodate students wishing to re-join if the class they wish to join is already full, or if for any reason is not running on the desired dates. If you know this may apply to you, let us know as soon as possible, and we’ll try to do all we can to help.
I will need to take a short break in the middle of my module – should I still start it?
Yes, but please let us know as soon as possible so that we can work with you to find the best way to support you to complete your module.
How much does it cost to study at G2K?
Our classes can fill up early, so to secure a place we request a non-refundable deposit payable in advance, with the remaining balance fully paid upon arrival for classes. Deposit amounts vary based on your course and can be found in our fees document.
Part-time classes are cheaper than Full-time – why is this?
The Part-time curriculum has been adapted to allow students to study over less classroom hours, and the fees charged reflect this.
Do you require a deposit?
Our fees vary depending on the amount of classroom hours your course contains. We publish our fees online here and at our school, but please ask at the school or contact us if you have questions.
How can I pay for my classes? Do you accept credit cards?
Are discounts available if both my spouse / partner / child/ parent and I study at G2K?
Yes. A 5% discount is available for each family member when making payment at the same time. Further terms apply to this offer, and it is subject to change without notice – please ask for details.
I represent a company or organisation, can we also access discounts?
G2K is the language partner of choice for many different types of organisation in Cambodia, and we would be excited to talk with you about your needs also.
