자주 하는 실수

Do not add spaces between letters within a single word. Khmer words are written as continuous blocks.

Wrong: ក ក ាក់
정답: កាក់

Use the Khmer Khan (។) instead of the Western period (.).

Wrong: ខ្ញុំមានកាក់.
정답: ខ្ញុំមានកាក់។

Missing the Bantak changes the vowel length and the meaning of the word.

Wrong: កាក
정답: កាក់
