For anyone spending more than just a few days in Indonesia, it's a very useful tool, but also a simple intro to the language (which will always tell you a bit about how people in Indonesia think and see their world). Some people will still want a larger simple dictionary, but this phrasebook is really easy to have at hand at all times, due to its jeans-pocket size and light weight.

As I mentioned in my review of the Malay phrasebook of Lonely Planet, it is important to select the correct one. I first purchased LOnely Planet's Malay, thinking that the same language was spoken in the Malay and Indonesian countries. Only by comparing the two, Malay and Indonesian,I discovered that, though one could get by in Indonesia using the Malay version, many words are different.
This is due to the Dutch influence during their colonisation, whereas the Malay version is heavily influenced by the English language due to the time of their colonisation in that region.
So, when travelling to Sumatra, Java, Bali and the other Indonesian islands, Indonesian is the best option.

This book is small (pocket size) but is packed with useful and essential information for your trip to Indonesia. Take this book with you, study it and you will be able to find information on speaking Indonesian, booking into hotels, arranging travel and dealing with emergencies.
