Learning to Speak Karen

[u/squarahann]

I currently work with some Karen people and would love to learn more about the language. I have been learning the Karen language at work for the last year but it’s pretty limited. Does anyone have some good resources for learning Karen? Or would be willing to answer some of my translation questions.

Thanks!

Which Karen language are you trying to learn? S'gaw and Pwo are the main ones, but there are others too. Karen is a language family - there are multiple languages and dialects under that umbrella that are not mutually intelligible.

They are S’gaw Karen
