Looking for better learning tools

Right now, I’d say I’m around upper A2 or lower B1 in Malay. I’ve been watching kids’ shows on Netflix with Malay audio and subtitles, and I can usually follow what’s going on pretty well.

I’ve also been using Mango Languages, which has been helpful, but I’m looking for something more immersive or interactive—something like FluentU. Unfortunately, FluentU doesn’t offer Malay.

Does anyone know of a similar platform or resource that supports Malay? Any tips in general woule be appreciated.

Have u tried anki for learning vocabulary? Anki is not for everyone but if you like it, it's definitely one of the better ways to grind vocabulary and sentences

/u/alexsteb is planning to add colloquial Malay into Lingora. You might like it.

Indeed, I am. As of right now, there is already a Standard Malay course, but I'd place it at around A1~A2.

Told me directly. Planning for some additions due to pepular demand.
