No, I've never been to Malaysia. I've never been anywhere, actually. But when I was a kid, before I lost touch with everyone, I had penpals in New Zealand, Malaysia, Trinidad, France, and England.

I've always been interested in languages. Studied a bit of Spanish and French for a few years while in school. Very few language opportunities when I was in school, though, at least until college. Mom gave me the gift of a (short) course in Italian -- unfortunately intended for travelers rather than people inclined to learn the language. I have self-teaching tapes for Norwegian (I work at a living history museum that examines the immigrant experience in Wisconsin, and I learned a bit for the Norwegian buildings I work in there). I know a word or two in Greek and Russian, but not many.

My Malaysian penpal taught me the very little Malay I know -- you've had the majority of what I remember already :-) -- including that how goodbye is said depends on whether you're the one leaving (selamat tinggal) or the one being left (selamat jalan). We exchanged small gifts. Once she even sent me mo far kor. She had the most beautiful penmanship. I'm not sure if English was a primary language(?) for her, but her English was better than that of the Trinidadian whose first language was English.

See you 'round the groups, Renee
Apa khabar? Welcome to LibraryThing.

Saw your post in the 75 Books Challenge (I'm doing the 999 Challenge instead), and couldn't resist the chance to use one of the few (very few) words/expressions I know in Bahasa Malay.

Selamat tinggal, Renee
