よくある間違い

You used 'ban' for a learned skill. 'Ban' is for external circumstances or permission, not internal knowledge.

Wrong: ខ្ញុំបាននិយាយខ្មែរ (I can speak Khmer - using 'ban' for skill)
正解: ខ្ញុំចេះនិយាយខ្មែរ

Going home is a situational possibility, not a learned skill like playing piano.

Wrong: ខ្ញុំចេះទៅផ្ទះ (I can go home - using 'cheh' for situational)
正解: ខ្ញុំទៅផ្ទះបាន

Avoid using both words together. Stick to 'ban' for situational help.

Wrong: ខ្ញុំចេះបានជួយអ្នក (I can help you - mixed usage)
正解: ខ្ញុំជួយអ្នកបាន
