Hai, apa khabar semua? 😊
🙋🏻♂️I am Ammar from Malaysia. My hometown is in Kuantan, Pahang and now I am based in Selangor.
🌿 I started teaching Malay in 2016 by doing it part-time while working full-time as a chemist, but now I am a full-time teacher for more than 5 years. Learning languages has always been my passion since I was small, and now, I find that teaching them is fulfilling as well - I get to meet people from different from different background and nationality and learn about their cultures.
Me as a Teacher
I have no background in linguistics, but I can say confidently that I have deep understanding of how Malay works in real life.
🍃 My presence here is to assist Malay learners to speak Malay as naturally as they can, with the help of my self-created learning materials, based on my observation of how native speakers speak on a daily basis.
⚠️ If a student is learning conversational Malay, it is CRUCIAL to know the difference between Malay's spoken and written versions, so that they are using suitable vocabulary words and natural sentence structures.My lessons & teaching style
I believe I am a friendly and easy-going person. Learning languages should be a fun journey for everyone. You will have a safe and comfortable environment to practice speaking the language when having a session with me!
My class is structured into several speaking proficiency levels. You will be provided notes for you to revise outside of class. In the first half of the lesson, I encourage my students to speak Malay by asking them questions. I will take this opportunity to test their understanding of previous class's topics as well. In the second half, we will take a look at some new grammar points or sentence structure to improve student's sentence construction skills.

Ammar is one of the best teachers I've ever encountered on italki! He keeps the conversation going by asking questions and encourages you to speak in a comfortable and patient manner. I always feel like I get so much value out of our lessons together. Terima kasih, Ammar.

Ammar is a wonderful teacher and really conforms to the needs of the students. I have been studying for a week and a half and can already have decent conversations with people while I am out and about. I recommend him if you are looking for someone to move at your pace, be that slowly or quickly. He has a great understanding of how people actually speak the language in daily life.

Have been learning Malay with Ammar since September. It was a pleasant experience with lots of progress. I am able to use simple vocabularies and short sentences to communicate with my Malay colleagues. The vocab list and audio are particularly helpful. Will continue my Malay learning journey with Ammar, recommended!
