Singapore and Malaysia are both special places. Most people speak English, yet in many situations, Malay Singaporeans or Malaysians speak Malay to each other. If you’ve come to work or study in this region, you can’t help but feel awkward around local colleagues, classmates and friends. Malay tends to be considerate and speaks English whenever you’re part of the conversation; you’d wish they didn’t always need to make all that effort for you. It makes you feel like an outsider.

That’s precisely what our conversational basic Malay course is designed to help you do.

How do you order food in Malay? Or read and relay a message in Malay?

We prioritize those situations that are likely to happen frequently so that you can immediately put your newly acquired conversation skills to the test. You likely order food a couple of times a day. And the food is a great conversation starter. This is just one example of regularly recurring situations, whether in Singapore or in Malaysia.
