About this audiobook
Basic Bahasa Indonesian is designed to introduce complete beginners to the Indonesian language, through the standard Bahasa dialect. Throughout the five sessions, then emphasis is on pronunciation and comprehension skills. Indonesian, or Bahasa Indonesia as it is locally known, serves as the official language of Indonesia. It is a standardized form of Malay and was officially adopted in 1945 when Indonesia declared its independence from Dutch colonial rule.
Historically, Malay was widely used as a lingua franca throughout the Indonesian archipelago, facilitating communication among the diverse ethnic groups in the region. During the colonial period, the Dutch administration used Malay in its dealings with the local population. The decision to adopt Indonesian as the national language was rooted in its historical role as a unifier among the people of Indonesia's numerous islands, which are home to over 600 native languages.
Indonesian is predominantly used in government, administration, education, and media and is one of the most spoken languages in Southeast Asia. Its adoption has played a crucial role in the nation's efforts to foster unity and national identity among its various ethnic and cultural groups. As a result, Indonesian has evolved into a dynamic language that absorbs and incorporates elements from local languages as well as foreign languages such as Arabic, Dutch, and English.
This audio course covers basic vocabulary, sentence structure, and everyday phrases, enabling learners to build practical language skills for everyday communication. Each lesson is designed to enhance listening skills and improve pronunciation through repetition and practice, making it ideal for beginners looking to engage with the language for a day-to-day communication. By the end of this course, participants will have a solid understanding of basic Indonesian and the confidence to engage in simple conversations at A1 beginner level on the CEFR scale.
