Teach Yourself Complete Course is one of the most comprehensive Malay courses available. The extensive exercises and cultural explanations will help you get a good grasp on the language. The book is complemented by 2 audio CDs to aid pronunciation. The glossary at the back is not very extensive, so you'll need a dictionary in addition to this course.
