Southern temples offer free Khmer language classes

More than just being a place of worship, many temples in southern Tra Vinh Province teach the Khmer language to locals for free.

The Giong Lon Pagoda (also known as the Co Pagoda) in Tra Vinh's Dai An Commune has two rooms on either side for teaching Khmer to local children.
