Malay Language Class

Bagaimana (how)? Lingo has secret recipes!

Our formula is simple: we keep the groups small and sweet at exactly eight pax.

Many of our students are beginners looking to learn basic Malay. They love the attention and the ability to ask any question. The teacher can also slow down when they haven’t quite grasped something.

Whether you start at the basic or advanced level, you can expect to learn Malay twice as fast with us compared to other language schools in Singapore that teach in large classes.

Lingo is an official test centre

As an official test centre for MCYS and MFA officers, we take pride in ensuring the quality of our courses and assessments. With this expertise, we can deliver a comprehensive program that enables individuals to master the Malay language.

Small group classes

We limit group sizes to a maximum of 8 participants to ensure the quality of our M Malay classes. When classes are small enough to facilitate individual student-teacher interaction, a minor miracle occurs: teachers teach, and students learn.

Centralised location

Our Malay language classes are conducted at United House, which is centrally located and accessible. It is just a 6-minute walk from Dhoby Ghaut or Somerset MRT station.

Conversational Malay Class

We believe learning any language starts with basic conversation. When you’re comfortable asking basic questions and talking about oft-discussed topics such as introducing yourself, lessons become more enjoyable and you build up momentum.

Course objective

In this course, we focus on practical aspects of the language – learning how to converse and communicate effectively in Malay.

Our proprietary textbook is developed from scratch to cater to your specific needs.

Five progressive levels

Learn Malay with our proprietary material

Ini senang... Lah

Malay has no article (ie the, a or an). The user simply drops the article or replaces the use of the article with this/these/that. For example, The Sun rises from the East. Matahari (sun) terbit (rise) dari (from) timur (east).

There are no verb tenses in Malay. The user indicates the time of the action or uses the word ‘sudah’ (already) or ‘akan’ (will be) to indicate the action happened in the past or future.

Malay has no noun gender.

The Malay language has no pleural form. The pleural forms are indicated by adjectives like few/some/many before the noun. Sometimes, the pleural form is expressed simply by repeating the noun. For example, anak (child) becomes anak-anak (children).

There is no noun cases. ‘Saya’ can mean I, me, my or mine. ‘Dia’ can mean he, she, his, her, him, hers.

To pass SKBMW test your proficiency needs to be at least B2 if not C1
