Description
This updated beginner's guide provides 227 dialogue exercises to help you cope with day-to- day communication. The dialogue exercises cover situations such as meeting new acquaintances, identifying and describing objects, making appointments, dealing with the practical details of travelling and settling down in a Malay-speaking world.
A new feature in this revised edition is the addition of notes to provide information on Malay culture and explain the intricacies of the Malay language.
The approach is structured so that basic phrases in the dialogue exercises help you understand the hidden meanings behind the words. The use of 'polite' Malay in all the conversations will give you the confidence to talk to anyone without causing offence.
Whether you are a student of the language or a traveller needing an easy, comprehensive guide, this book is for you. ISBN:9789812612427
