Summary: GREAT!
Comment: This book is amazing! Most Khmers books that i'd encounter just have an english word, then a khmer translation that's written in Khmer. This book gives a khmer pronunciation that's written in english, as well as Khmer. Somebody here gave it a bad review and I really don't understand why? That person said this book can cause embarassment but I disagree! If you can't play ball, don't blame the ball. Most of the words, if not all are accurate. What I think this book lacks is an audio CD that people can listen to. Otherwise, I think it's a great book. I got it at the library, I will buy it. Also, it's pocket size, very convenient.

Summary: OK for basic words but a liability
Comment: This small dictionary seems to be modelled on Robertson's Thai dictionary. In this context it is light years ahead of its model. But it is next to useless for all but very basic vocab. Be warned too, that nine times out of ten the word you are stuck for will not be there, and if perchance it is, there will be no help at all on usage. The transliteration is terrible and often misleading or wrong. Be careful too because the meanings are likely to also be sufficiently incomplete or even wrong to create some embarrassment. Not very useful for anybody wanting to communicate in Khmer, and completely inadequate for anybody wanting to learn the language.

Summary: Good quick reference
Comment: The Tuttle Practical Cambodian Dictionary is a good quick reference guide. Pocket sized and easy to carry, it isn't designed to be comprehensive, but has most of the essential words and phrases one is likely to encounter in everyday usage. I have some minor quibbles on pronunciation of a few words, but, spoken Khmer is often at variance with the written form of the words. For technical translation, a more comprehensive dictionary is a must, but for travelers and translation of simple documents, this is a fine tool.
