Thanks to this book, my Malay is slightly less tragic, and I now have a decent understanding of its grammar. Hurrah and huzzah! This is a good starting point for anyone interested in picking up the language. It's easy to read through and provides useful, practical dialogue examples. The grammar section in particular I felt was great, being very concise yet enlightening, justifying my purchase of the book. However, I noticed a couple of errors here and there (e.g. translating tujuh as six in one example sentence), so readers beware. As with any language resource, never rely on just one book.
