How to study Malaysian and Malay using Ondoku?

From here, we will briefly explain the key points for studying Malaysian and Malay using Ondoku.
What is the appeal of learning Malaysian? One of the easiest foreign languages for Japanese people to master
Actually, Malaysian is one of the easiest foreign languages in the world for Japanese people to master.
There are several reasons, but first, the pronunciation system is almost the same as Romaji reading.
The first thing that surprises you when studying Malaysian is the simplicity of the pronunciation.
There are no complex pronunciation rules like in English, nor are there tonal changes like in Chinese.
Even if you read the characters written in the alphabet exactly as they appear in Katakana, it will result in pronunciation that is sufficiently understood.
For example, "Selamat pagi" means "Good morning," and you can achieve the correct pronunciation just by reading it as it looks.
Many Japanese learners who start studying Malaysian will realize how easy it is to learn.
Most of the hurdles often encountered in foreign language learning—such as complex verb conjugations and case inflections in European languages, right-to-left writing systems like in Arabic, or complex tonal systems in other Southeast Asian languages—hardly exist in Malaysian.
Understanding the relationship between Malaysian and Malay
When starting to study Malaysian, many learners wonder about the difference between the two names: "Malaysian" and "Malay."
In fact, they basically refer to the same language.
Malaysian refers to the Malay language used as the national language of the nation of Malaysia; linguistically, they are the same language.
It is important to understand this point when studying Malaysian.
This is because notations for "Malaysian" and "Malay" are mixed depending on the study materials and reference books.
There is no essential difference in the learning content regardless of which notation the material uses.
Historically, Malay developed as a trade language in the Southeast Asian archipelago and is now used as the national language in Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei.
Indonesian is also linguistically considered one of the dialects of Malay, and by studying Malaysian, you can simultaneously improve your communication skills within these linguistic spheres.
Ondoku also supports reading aloud in Indonesian as used in Indonesia.

How to effectively study Malaysian and Malay through reading aloud?
Reading aloud is a very effective learning method when studying Malaysian.
To make the most of the simplicity of Malay pronunciation, the key is to practice speaking out loud actively.
A Malaysian study method that incorporates reading aloud is much more effective and fun to continue than traditional memorization-centered learning.
The biggest advantage of studying Malaysian through reading aloud is that you can improve your pronunciation and listening skills at the same time.
Since Malaysian is a language that is pronounced exactly as written, you will naturally acquire correct pronunciation if you can read it aloud correctly.
Also, by repeatedly reading aloud in your own voice, you can master the rhythms and tones unique to Malaysian.
As an effective study method through reading aloud, we recommend starting with basic greetings.
Memorize daily expressions like "Selamat pagi (Good morning)," "Apa khabar? (How are you?)," and "Terima kasih (Thank you)" while reading them aloud.
Since these expressions are frequently used in actual conversation, you can immediately put the knowledge you learned through reading aloud into practice.
Grammatical structure of Malaysian and key learning points
As with any other language study, understanding grammar is an unavoidable and important element in studying Malaysian.
Fortunately, Malaysian grammar is also very simple compared to many other foreign languages.
The basic word order is SVO (Subject-Verb-Object), which is the same structure as English.
What is particularly important in Malaysian language learning is understanding affixes (prefixes and suffixes).
Malay has agglutinative characteristics, changing the meaning or part of speech of a word by attaching various affixes to a root.
For example, adding the prefix "me-" to the verb "tulis" (to write) makes it "menulis" (writing), and adding the suffix "-an" makes it the noun "tulisan" (writing, document).
By understanding this affix system, your Malaysian study efficiency will improve dramatically.
Since multiple related words can be derived from a single root, you can increase your vocabulary efficiently.
Even during reading aloud practice, being conscious of these word transformations will lead to a deeper understanding.
How to create a practical Malaysian and Malay learning environment

To succeed in studying Malaysian, it is important to create an environment where you are exposed to the language on a daily basis.
Even while in Japan, you can build an effective learning environment by utilizing AI reading services like Ondoku.
By incorporating it into your daily routine, such as during your morning commute or before bedtime, continuous learning becomes possible.
Continuing every day, even for a short time, is the key to successful Malaysian language learning.
Also, in studying Malaysian, practicing for actual usage scenarios is important.
For example, if you are planning a trip to Malaysia, practice expressions for specific scenes such as hotel conversations or ordering at restaurants by reading them aloud.
By reading aloud texts with practical content, you can immediately use what you have learned in real life.
How to get audio materials for learning Malaysian?
For effective Malaysian study, choosing appropriate audio materials is essential.
Thanks to advances in AI reading technology, audio materials with very natural and accurate pronunciation are now available.
When choosing materials, it is important to prioritize sound quality and pronunciation accuracy.
