Writing Khmer Consonants

I want you to first look at the consonants and how they are formed. Next, follow the stroke with your eyes. Finally, trace the consonants with your finger and follow the strokes. Repeat this step a few time and try to write it on a piece of paper. Do this for all the consonants. You are now on your way to reading and righting Khmer.
These consonants are arranged in alphabetical order for your convenient.
