A Pleasant Guide to Bahasa Indonesia
16 Dec 2005
Format:Paperback
Do not let this phrasebook's diminuitive size fool you; it most certainly packs a whallop! The phrasebook is broken into ten segments, with each segment containing ten vocabulary words and their different uses. At the end of each segment is a brief treatment of a particular aspect of Indonesian culture and life.
For example, the first segment concerns itself with simple Indonesian words, such as "selamat" (a word used in greetings), "ibu" (mother) and "sudah" (already). For each vocabulary word, several sentences are provided to give the reader an idea of the different contexts that are available. At the end of the first segment is an informational section on the eating and drinking habits of Indonesians.
Indeed, this phrasebook is by no means a comprehensive guide to the Indonesian language, but it is extremely useful in providing anyone planning to undertake a trip to Indonesia a better grasp of their surroundings. From an individual who has lived and traveled extensively in Indonesia, I strongly recommend this phrasebook.

Concise useful book to have around
25 Feb 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The usefulness of this book really is in its compactness. It's easy to carry and allows a traveller to express basic concepts easily. It is not a guide to learning the language in depth but rather, could be used as an aid to such a guide. It really is more suitable for travellers to Indonesia who would like to express basic ideas in the local language simply.
The book is divided into sections covering different topics. These include eating and drinking, social etiquette, times and sessions, personal pronouns, religion and culture, social chatting, social relations and family, Indonesian names and verb prefixes.
While the information presented is limited, what is there is enough to help you out in difficult situations while travelling. However, I found it hard to intuitively find the section I require quickly without resorting to the contents or index page. I resorted to sticking post it notes at the start of each section and labelling them with the chapter topic so I could find what I needed fast while I am waiting in queues, conversing with service people, etc. This proved successful.

Excellent start in learning a language
21 Jan 2005
Format:Paperback
Most language courses promise the world but this little inexpensive jem actuallly lives up to its promise. The vocabulary is concise and well-explained. The author succeeds in linking the lessons to each other as the book proceeds. While not a comprehensive grammar to Bahasa Indonesia, it does serve as a great start in learning the language.
