Main Purpose

គោលបំណងសំខាន់របស់អ្នកនិយាយ

When listening, try to understand WHY the person is talking. Are they asking, telling, helping, or complaining?

នៅពេលស្តាប់ ត្រូវព្យាយាមយល់ថា ហេតុអ្វីបានជាគេនិយាយ។ តើគេកំពុងសួរ ប្រាប់ ជួយ ឬរអ៊ូរទាំ?

Asking for Information ❓

Could you tell me where the nearest bank is? Purpose: Asking for directions. តើអ្នកអាចប្រាប់ខ្ញុំបានទេថាធនាគារដែលនៅជិតបំផុតនៅឯណា?

ការអញ្ជើញ (ហៅអ្នកណាម្នាក់ទៅកន្លែងណាមួយ)

Hi Vireak! Listen for negative describing words like "cold", "broken", or "late". Also, pay attention to their tone of voice. If they sound frustrated, they are definitely complaining! 🗣️

"Let's" is usually an invitation or a friendly suggestion to do something together! An instruction would sound more direct, like "Go now." 🚶‍♂️
