Malaysia

Great phrasebook! Easy to use and accurate translations!, June 16, 2002
Reviewer: A reader from Palo Alto, CA
I got this phrasebook as a gift. I was skeptical at first because of its child-like appearance, but once I started looking through it I found it to be amazing. No other Malay book has the detail that this one does. With short paragraphs at the beginnings of each section, it ensures the best understanding of the culture. The authors are very knowledgeable and knows their Malay. I would recommend this reference book to anyone who is even considering a trip to Malaysia or is interested in the culture.

Let yourself be guided through the Malaysian culture, customs, politics, and trade while developing expert pronunciation. As Malay is spoken in some areas of Indonesia, this makes a perfect companion to Colloquial Indonesian.

This combination of 200 page phrase booklet, 3 cassettes and "cheat sheet" laminated cards will get you off to a solid start- useful phrases, lots of repetition of key words, 500 -600 word vocabulary, and native speakers to listen to -- I just wish that there was a longer version!
