5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best language books I've ever worked with, October 8, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: TY MALAY (Hardcover)
It's truly a shame that this book is out of print. The "Teach Yourself" series has kept some other works in print that don't come close to matching this one. By doing the exercises faithfully one can really develop very quickly the ability to think in Malay and to get comfortable with the patterns of the language. The vocabulary seemed very useful and very pertinent although parts of it (terms referring to soldiers and officials, for instance) might be a little dated now. That's nothing that a new edition couldn't fix! I hope that a revision of this book will be made available very soon- hopefully with some tapes to go with.
