Meet Nick Taylor, a Khmer-American professional footballer born and raised in the United States. He previously played for Orlando City B in the MSL Next Pro and has recently moved to Cambodia to represent his homeland, where he signed a new contract with the Cambodian club Siev Rieng FC. Today, he shared his feelings about representing his country, participating in the Cambodian League, his experiences living in Cambodia, the challenges he faces as a Cambodian American in the country, and why he enjoys it here.

[@mineamen4431]

[@austintukwa]

Thanks, will do!🙌🏾

[@TerriLong-eq9bn]

Nick, it is an important to speak your native language .if you are proficient in Khmer, it would bring you more opportunity. You just need to practice like you are playing football. You should embrace both cultures in American and Cambodian. Don’t be shy. Wishing you the best of luck in your career and in life !

[@ElieRosie]

The words he's spoken "We need you educated mixed Cambodia to help our country" was touching man😭💕

[@Handle_Edit]

There’s plenty of mixed people in Cambodia. Even you have plenty of Chinese blood. Look in the mirror.

[@paulfairbrace825]

Left sided Midfielder, so quite a rare commodity in most teams Be almost unheard of if Nick achieves what he's set out to do

[@Johny-y1s]

Great video thank you for sharing I love Cambodia 🇰🇭

[@austintukwa]

Thanks for watching!

[@andint5482]

I’m Laos and I used to be shy to talk Laos. I’m from east coast but stayed in Cali for a while where I learned more Laos. I wrote down stuff I didn’t understand and I was around all my laos people daily. I practiced to make not perfect but better. I used to get made fun of now people say I speak Laos pretty good. I was also born in US. You actually make me wanna learn to speak Khmer especially moving from NYC area to NC/SC area.

[@TUANDANH-hz6kz]

Thanks for your share Video to every people. I like your tube very much I hope in the future the more and people known your channel.

[@ElieRosie]

[@wildwildwest1662]

The best thing for is to practice speaking everyday to everyone, you will get better. Nick Taylor, you’re look like young Ricky Iglesias . Handsome young man.

[@johnnykheng3470]

I saw nick taylor playing in Svay rieng.

[@reaksmeymaranda2341]

Don’t give up Nick,I can understand your frustration. You speak Khmer very well. I know Khmers like to laugh because of your accent but don’t worry they are nice people they don’t laugh at you they laugh with you.

[@cat_luckky]

Thank you, Tylor

[@nysam6520]

Great story about your family. My son speak khmer a little bit too he love eat khmer food.😊

[@hongdang4630]

Your vlog is very informative, keep going on.

[@khmerbraveheart]

haha.. Cambodia is the best place to be. Especially the Beaches!

[@SteppeNomad585]

Nick, your Khmer is good and one day you will wake up and find yourself speaking Khmer as if you have always spoken it.

[@OudomOfficial]

Awesome video 😊

[@KhmerMinnesnowta]

I left the country alone in 1979 after surviving the genocide and most of my family members did not live. I've returned to visit the country every year for the last ten years since my retirement from US. I also have some businesses to run and help some needy people there. Cambodia has come a long way since the civil war was officially ended in 1998. Wish Nick all the best with his brighter future. Peace from a genocide survivor ✌️

[@onevision8097]

A good conversation. Great job Nick for representing the kingdom well. Go Eurasian, well in your case, go Ameriasian! haha. All the best.

[@NimithKona]

bro you do amazing interviews.. keep it up

[@RolandoOuk]

Awesome video Austin! I'd suggest remove the background music for these types of long commentary/podcast like this. It will be easier for the audience to focus on the guest. Amazing video as always!!!

[@austintukwa]

i feel so bad for my country a.k.a cambodia but the feeling i have is just the love for all my countries😊😊😊

[@koolpebble]

I think the prices of Cambodian food and other commodities are high because of the mix of U.S. dollars with Khmer riel. It creates this psychological phenomenon that it's okay for Khmer vendors to charge people more. I recommend people practice haggling to get the best price possible. Another commenter said that a lot of things in Cambodia are imported, which is true. Perhaps, if Cambodia invested in manufacturing, they wouldn't have to import as much which would allow prices to drop a little.

He’s reminded me of my sons. I’m Khmer and my husband is Irish American. So basically they’re raised as an American. They’re wrestlers and boxers coached by their dad of course. My youngest is into MMA. I hope one day they would want to take a chance going there to Cambodia and represent Khmer also. Congratulations on your success🙏 thank you for sharing God bless

[@gtykh2674]

[@monirathamoung5442]

My advise for the foreigner who to learn to speak Khmer, first you start learning alphabets and vowels, as long as you pronounce them correct as they should be, then your accent to Khmer language will be improved.

[@sokhengchea7621]

[@KhmerSanjose]

Nick - enroll in elementary school and start from the beginning. Best of luck.

everything is more expensive because we don't produce anything and because of high logistic costs to import goods. this is the reason we are building the techo funan canal

[@pathvor207]

Hello, Guys ! You want to be somebody you have to learn the language in the Country you are living today, Tahnks

[@Handle_Edit]

It will come naturally if one chooses to live in a different country with different language. Just look at the Chinese and Vietnamese in Cambodia. It’s natural to absorb the culture snd language once you live there for so long.

[@KhmerPenn]

Cambodia is one of the most misunderstood countries ever. Cause people view it at a bad light because of our dark history

[@felxsvoice1848]

He's kon kat but he's a true kon kon Khmer for sure! We love you guys and enjoy our motherland! Nothing compares no matter the rumors.

[@Handle_Edit]

What about the ones that are Chinese/vietnamese mix? What do yoou call them? What about the millions of Chinese/Vietnamese in Cambodia? Do you call them Khmer? I bet you are one of them.

[@Jayvaraman7]

I hope one day he'll realized that the Khmer people are oppressed by the current government ruling 40 years now.

[@chandararorth5847]

I like you nick Taylor

[@davidcleveland5]

I don't understand how he represents Cambodia as his country if he is born in America. I can understand that he represents America and represents his parents, who are Cambodian and Khmer.

[@ThearyAdventures1989]

Nick please help me to rescue my daughter

[@sastra9422]

Some one said Cambodia is dangerous because they are jealous Cambodia develops fast top Asia, hundreds skyscrapers are completed in 2025

[@maroeundanko6552]

I’m sorry for U upset I understand what you says

[@svayphearak]

Regarding Khmer language, just speak more bro and you’ll get better. Cambodians don’t expect your Khmer to be perfect. In fact, they expect your Khmer to be broken. It would be very strange if you speak perfect Khmer to them. So, keep practicing it and if people laugh, it’s not intended to embarrass you. It’s a laughter to acknowledge that you’re a foreigner. Enjoy Cambodia and your heritage!

[@dogfoodtogo]

Thailand wants Cambodia to be submissive to them. How can we have good relationships?

[@samkheng]

It should be a two-way street, not one. Their ancestry is tied with us. If they want to abandon their history, that is up on them. We're not the ones who don't have a root. So there's nothing to worry about. We'll just keep being who we are: loving, understanding, and supportive.

[@HatlerBorra]

No you’re lying. YOUR KHMER ACCENT IS SO GOOD 👍👍

[@Advanced-NOOB]

Traffic in Cambodia is not good yet, to be honest.

[@Sigma44757]

Guess what guess what I'M CAMBODIA

[@DaVac13-en2jo]

Why don't you put Khmer language in your Video? 🇰🇭

[@christineyoung4349]

Food is more expensive than neighboring country might be because they bought it from them.

[@KC-in9px]

Making comments regarding things that you don't know anything about makes you look foolish.

[@Mzayn671]

your khmer pronunciation is very native, Nick. Maybe u should unleash ur language potential and give it another shot.

[@kerihong8822]

I don’t think food in Cambodia expensive in Thailand their food cost way more than in Cambodia 🇰🇭 😂

And you why we know why our Cambodia has a bad reputation out there. It is not from the real tourists’s experience, It has been from the defaming attempts of that one nation who had invaded some land in the past and attempts to invade more as well as rob our culture while playing victim.

[@sokunthiadan6537]
