Rofl…
Let me guess… you’re American and ‘travel’ to you is a quick trip across the border
I’m not sure how many Cambodians are wandering around rural UK, and I’m fairly certain that Duolingo doesn’t have Khmer.
Guess I’d better cancel my trip.
Ahhh it’s a lot easier to learn through immersion if you live there ;)
(A Brit who has lived in two other countries). I’m well aware of the resources on the internet. I’m also aware of the fact that this issue with the signs has bugger all to do with language barrier and everything to do with the people visiting being ignorant and inconsiderate tourists.
You are better off brushing up on the culture than you are the language. Simply looking at the sign through your phone camera would automatically translate it for you - yet another internet resource ;)
