I decided to learn Malay when we were relocated to Malaysia. It is important to me to know the basics and be able to demonstrate some level of understanding. My children also learn at school and so it is fun to practice. Malay is an interesting language which is different to many European Languages in structure, however it is not too complicated and so quite quickly it is possible to understand some of the basics. It has some interesting quirks which are fun to try to understand. Ainur is a patient and fun teacher covering elements of Malay heritage and culture with the relevant language. It is good to cover writing, speaking and listening. Ainur is friendly and gets to understand your level quickly - lessons are pitched at a level for continuous learning at a challenging but not unachievable level so that you can see your confidence grow. Since starting learning with Ainur my confidence and vocabulary have grown quickly. The materials from the lessons are great for reference and revision and re-reading them helps embed the learning. I am finding myself using malay more regularly and also challenging my own understanding when out and about. Last weekend we had visitors from the UK and I was able to tell restaurant staff that I was waiting for my friends before ordering, and then I was able to recommend to them a Malaysian breakfast and order for the whole family. Give it a go! You will make fast progress and any Malaysian will really appreciate even the most basic effort to speak their language. It is great to know a little of the language whenever you travel/stay, especially in more rural settings.
