Stop and Breathe
When we speak, we don't say everything in one long breath. We pause (stop for a second) to make it easy to understand.
Full Stop (.)
Pause for 1 second at the end of a sentence. Take a breath!
(ឈប់១វិនាទី នៅចុងបញ្ចប់ប្រយោគ ដើម្បីដកដង្ហើម)
Short Pause (,)
Pause for a half second when you see a comma, or before "and".
(ឈប់បន្តិចពេលឃើញសញ្ញាក្បៀស)
Read in Groups
Don't read word by word. Read in small groups.
(កុំអានមួយពាក្យៗ ត្រូវអានជាក្រុមពាក្យ)
Don't pause after every word!
