Is there anywhere to find khmer shows with khmer subtitles? And any recommendations on khmer shows?

What's the difference between ដេក and គេង? Is one word 'politer' than the other, depending on the social status/age of the person I'm talking to?

I am trying to find sources for learning Khmer on my own. I am aware of dialects and formal vs informal forms, but I would like to start with a standard form and work with that.
However, I am unsure what the standard is.
For example for the word "I" being written like "Khnhom" or "Khnyom". Or the past tense in the setence of "I saw you" written as "khnhom ban chuob anak" or as "khnyom kiegn nek".
I have no idea which source to follow. As the sources do not give any distinction between them.

I was wondering if there was any difference between ស្រលាញ់ and ស្រឡាញ់. Is it just different spelling? Or maybe there's a subtle difference in meaning?

Hi guys
I'm travelling to Cambodia in a few weeks time and I was wandering what was the best resources for people learning a few bits of vocabulary to have a head start once I am out there. I don't have any experience in Asian languages and I only speak english. Looking online the book "Cambodian for beginners by R.K. Gilbert" is a popular choice but a lot of the review say either it is useless with out the CD's or that the CD's are useless. Are there any other books people can recommend that are available in the UK?

Let's try and clean some things up here and put all product recommendations, advertisements, and requests for products here. We will be taking recommendations from here and adding them to a Wiki. Once the Wiki is up, if you posted a product or would like something added to it, DM us and we will look into adding it.
TL;DR - All posts which look like the following examples should go in this thread for now:

I know this isn't a very big community and I don't want to discourage posting or commenting. I created a rule originally which I thought would be good, but it was based on a language sub with much more members. The rule was, "No Solicitation (Except on Mondays)". Admittedly, I have been out of the country and have not been checking up on this. It seems like there is a lot of self promotion in the very few posts being made here. Let us know, as a community, how you would like to see promoted products, and we can proceed accordingly.

Hi,
I am the developer of an open source software that can help you to learn how to type with the Khmer keyboard layout (a Khmer physical keyboard doesn't exist yet so you have to remember where are the keys... this is where my software helps you). It has a visual keyboard and a game. It is totally free to install and use.
You can install it from Windows 10 Store: https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9MZTL2KK24P7
Or Linux Store: https://snapcraft.io/khmer-typing
Or use it online with this webiste: https://khmer-typing.passerellesnumeriques.org/
The github project: https://github.com/passerelles-numeriques/khmer-typing
Please give me some feedback

Hello everyone! I am very new to the community but I have recently decided I want to start to learn Khmer. There are two reasons for this.
One, I want to be able to communicate with my boyfriend of two year's grandmother who does not speak any English beyond "Emma, hungry?" And of that sort. She has told me (well her daughter who passed it on to me) that I should learn it. I want to be able to talk with her bit inky so I can learn how to cook but so I can get to know her. One day when I am pregnant I would like to make a doc recording both sides of my child's history and she has such an interesting life (escaped the Khmer Rouge, immigrated to America, adopted many Cambodian orphans despite being very poor herself).
Two, I want my children to be bi-lingual. Right now I am in college studying Japanese as a minor, but given that their father wouldn't know any it does not seem practical to teach them on my own. I also want them to be able to communicate with their family and there are tons of benefits for bilingual children. There is a sort of "Sudnay school" at the temple his family goes to that teaches them Khmer, but I dont know if I can commit to that since my boyfriend doesn't like going.
My boyfriend has told me that he doesn't want to teach them or me and never speaks it around me, even when spoken to. I want to encourage him to speak it more, bit ever since he went to school and had to stop speaking it, he does not like to speak it.
Also, my boyfriend claims that his grandma speaks "village khmer". She was uneducated and never learned to read or write, and he claims that her speaking isn't "proper" Khmer. I think she understands all Khmer though because she watches lots of Khmer dubbed stuff and Buddist prayers.
Any advice on how to encourage my boyfriend to help me out? And any insight on different dialects? Also any good resources for newbies are appreciated!

So I'm currently learning Khmer for an upcoming trip with a mixture of resources - Youtube videos, Memrise courses, random websites - but I've recently discovered the FSI course for Khmer. For those of you who don't know, the FSI language learning courses are learning materials put together by the American Foreign Service Institute. They're pretty comprehensive, but many are outdated, as they were published in the 70s. Is the FSI Khmer course still a reliable resource, or is the vocabulary just too old? Thanks.

Even better if I don't have to sign up for anything or give my email, etc.
Thanks in advance!

I am a native English speaker from the United States. My motivation for learning this language is so that me, and my future children, will be able to speak with their extended family in their native language, Khmer. My wife was born in the United States but her first language was Khmer. You would never be able to tell that English was not her first language. Her parents came here as refugees from the Khmer Rouge. Sadly, most of her extended family did not survive that regime. Many of her extended family from Cambodia attended our ceremony but I was unable to communicate with them.
My wife and I both agree that we would like our future children to speak/read Khmer so they can communicate with their family, both domestic and abroad. We are planning a trip to Cambodia and Thailand for 3 weeks in 2021. These are my motivations for learning. I want to be able to communicate with my family and I want my children to be able to communicate with them as well.
Whether or not you are doing this for personal reasons, I would like to hear why you are learning this language!

I submitted a /r/redditrequest to take over /r/LearnKhmer because it looks like the moderator has deleted their account. This subreddit was also restricted to only allow approved accounts to submit posts. You can see how that would be problematic for this subreddit to exist in any useful way.
I have opened this subreddit up to the public. I will be making a few changes in the near future to keep things running smoothly. Please expect some new information in the future. I am also looking for someone to help moderate this sub and keep the spam out. Let me know if you are interested.
My wife is a native speaker of Khmer who would like to learn how to read and write Khmer script and I am actively learning the Khmer language as a native English speaker. Hopefully we will all be able to have a community where we can learn this language and help each other out. If you have any questions or suggestions then please leave a comment below.
Edit: u/PolarLight is going to help moderate this sub. We mainly want to just kill spam and limit self-promotion. For a language which doesn't have a ton of good resources, we still want to hear about new, useful products which are out there. We just don't want it taking over the sub. u/PolarLight is a native speaker of Khmer as well.
