4.0 out of 5 stars
Sound, logical beginners' course for learning Indonesian,
This review is from: Bahasa Indonesia Book 1: Introduction to Indonesian Language and Culture (Bk.1) (Paperback)
This book is ideal for the absolute beginner who wants a systematic introduction to the Indonesian language without overload. The 18 chapters are carefully structured so that each text can be understood with the words and grammar that have been covered up to that point. There are lots of exercises involving word substition that help the student to gain fluency. (I found this very useful, as I was learning on my own without a teacher.) After you have completed the book you are able to ask questions, tell the time, and say a lot else besides, and you get a good grounding in grammar including, for example, the object focus (kind of passive, very often used in Indonesian) which will stand you in good stead later. By the very nature of the book, the quantity of vocabulary covered is not overwhelming, but there is a 24 page Indonesian to English mini-dictionary at the back, and the second book (Bahasa Indonesia : Book 2 : Introduction to Indonesian Language and Culture) makes up for this deficit.

the exercise repetition helps you remember better,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bahasa Indonesia Book 1: Introduction to Indonesian Language and Culture (Bk.1) (Paperback)
this book has a good amount of vocabulary and gives good explainations for every exercise. sometimes, infact you feel like you're reading the same thing over and over. the only problems i have are, there are no answers for the homework problems which consist of ten questions per chapter in addition to the regular exercises, the other is that i have not yet been able to find the tapes which would be a good accompaniment to the text. so far, though, i like what i've seen.

Great book!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bahasa Indonesia Book 1: Introduction to Indonesian Language and Culture (Bk.1) (Paperback)
This is a great, inexpensive book for Indonesian. I was hoping for a it more about Indonesian because of the title, but it is still very good. I DO miss any audio supplements for the text. The text is easy to read, I do find my self flipping through the text to earlier parts because sometimes the words you learn are not carried through all the lessons. Maybe my problem, not the books. The text seems to be natural. There are not a lot of "stutter sentences" I have seen in many language books. I like it alot.
