has anyone who has a simple knowledge of Bahasa Indonesian - as in simple basic words & phrases - found that if they visited Malaysia that their knowledge of Bahasa Indonesian has been helpful in allowing them to have a better understanding of Bahasa Malaysian & been beneficial in being able to communciate with the local people ?
Please correct me if I am wrong but from what I understand there seem to be a lot of very strong similarities between the 2 languages - so many of the words are exactly the same.
