The next episode of the series

There was supposed to be a competition for the name of our blog series, but we got forestalled.

We liked the comment in which our stay in Kampot and blog entries were called a series titled "Chameleon". Irena (from Słoneczna) deserves a prize!

Like all series, ours has its better and worse threads and twists and turns (or lack of such) that can bore readers with deficiency of more unexpected situations. The main characters do not "perform" well, either.

The script is written by everyday life and we do not colour it with fiction.

You can dose yourself reading this blog and after leaving a few episodes you might realize that the action is in the same place. We do not want to make anyone tired.

From November 1, after the opening of the bar, there should be more happening and probably new characters will appear. Only f the action did not go to the criminal or "fantasy" side.

And for now, we keep building our home from scratch and the planned business.

To be continued ...

Today, episode 22.

A Khmer (Cambodian) language teacher has been coming to us every day for a week. His name is Phearom. He is a surgical assistant by profession (he is such a higher form of an operating nurse / instrumentarian). He works on shifts, so in his free time he can earn extra money by teaching the language.

Adek, tired of the installation work, does not participate in classes; in the language matters he decided to rely on me. He thinks his English is good enough for him.

The Khmer language is completely different from the closer to us Indo-European languages ​​and creates more trouble in learning.

For now, it amuses me, and despite poor progress, I do not give up.

As part of colouring the action of the series, a quote from Wikipedia: (please do not laugh!)

"It is an isolating language, grammatical categories are implemented in it syntactically and lexically. In principle, inflexion does not occur. You can find examples of derivations using prefixes and infixes, but this process is not productive. "

One can get discouraged, can’t they? Of course, this definition is intended for linguists, but it is fun, anyway.

Do not be afraid, I will not start writing in Khmer, because I do not study the alphabet!
