Indonesian - Christopher Byrnes

Teach Yourself Indonesian is the book/CD course for anyone who wants to progress quickly from the basics to understanding, speaking and writing Indonesian with confidence. Although aimed at those with no previous knowledge, it is equally suitable for anyone wishing to brush up existing knowledge for a holiday or business trip. Key structures and vocabulary are introduced in 24 thematic units, progressing from basic greetings and introductions and dealing with everyday situations to writing a formal letter and business communications. The emphasis is on communication throughout, with important language structures introduced through dialogues on the accompanying recording. There are plenty of exercises to practise the language as it is introduced and tips throughout to help with pronunciation and grammar. Cultural information boxes give useful advice and information for anyone planning a trip to Indonesia.



This new edition is a complete rewrite and contains transcripts to the dialogues, a grammar summary and a full, two-way vocabulary.



The page design has been improved and section headings are given in English to make the course easier to follow.



The accompanying CDs give approximately 150 minutes of pronunciation guidance and listening material.



The book (0 340 84752 2) and CDs (0 340 84754 9) are also available separately.
