warning The "Am" Trap!

Do not forget the verb "to be" with adjectives!

(ប្រយ័ត្ន! នៅក្នុងភាសាអង់គ្លេស យើងមិនអាចនិយាយផ្ទាល់ "I" ជាមួយគុណនាម (ដូចជា happy, sad, tired) ទេ យើងត្រូវតែមាន "am" នៅកណ្តាល!)
I happy. ❌
I am happy. ✅
I tired. ❌

Good question, Sovan. In Khmer, we can just say "ចូលចិត្ត", but in English, the verb "like" usually needs an object. So you should say "I like it" or "I like art". Keep up the good work! auto_awesome

Is it okay to speak slowly? I feel embarrassed when I speak slow.

Yes, it is completely okay! At level A1, fluency is about *not stopping*, not about speed. It is much better to speak slowly and clearly using short phrases than to try to speak fast and get confused. Take your time! thumb_up
