    There's also a pdf file that goes with the spoken texts - used to be free too, not sure if it still is but that was helpful to me too cause I'm a bit stupid and find it easier to remember something if I see it written too.

    Jimbo, am I missing something but this is his/her first posting so why the "welcome back" or are you suffering from recurring deja vu?

    Thought you had retired, or was that 16 hours part of "taking it easy"? :D

    I have given up on retiring. Just been offered a job in Nigeria but will stay where I am as it gives me a better chance of working when I want.

    Wise move - anything and anywhere is better than Nigeria.

    Never have understood why my black countrymen don't fall down on their collective knees daily thanking us whites that we kidnapped their ancestors away from that shit-hole Africa.

    Asbestos pants are in place :lol:

    Hi
    That was my first post here. I live in Perth but visit when I can. We are coming back in April 2010 for sixteen days. I was lurking around enjoying the forum and I'm have just started to learn Bahasa.
    Thanks

    And a warm welcome to you. Can I just point out one tiny thing.....Bahasa means language not Indonesian. If you want to learn that it is Bahasa Indonesian or if it was German it would be Bahasa German etc.
    Regards Jimbo

    The free lessons are great. Grab them before somebody decides to start charging for them.

    Now, what about a good dictionary to go with them? One free one that I've used extensively is Kamus 2.04 The website describes it as:

    The latest version, an English-Indonesian Dictionary and vice versa. Features : More that 41.000 English-Indonesian word, 35.000 Indonesian-English word and more than 64.000 phrase; 20 nice skins, Clipboard monitoring; Automatic translations, Compact mode etc.
    (Don't worry about the occasional spelling mistake or typing error. This is a very useful dictionary.)

    http://ebsoft.web.id/download/

    (Scroll down to Kamus 2.04 and pick a mirror to download from). It's only a 2.7MB download.
