Learning Malay the fun way

I use some easy-to-remember sentences to help my students to memorise words that go with certain affixes in the Malay language. For example, I ask my pupils to memorise the following sentence to remember 12 words that go with one group of affix namely meN...i / meN...kan:
Ali bin Hassan jalan kaki ke laut semalam nanti penyu hijau bertelur. Translated as 'Ali bin Hassan walked to the sea last night to wait for the green turtle to lay eggs', the iniatial letter of the words in the Malay sentence represents a word. The 12 words are anugerah, beri, hadiah, jatuh, kirim, kurnia, lempar, serah, nama, pinjam, hujan and bekal.

In this group, I assign the rules as follows:
1 The word after meN...i is followed by a person.
e.g. Raja itu menganugerahi pembesar itu wang yang banyak.
Dia memberi adiknya sebuah kamus.
2 The word after meN...kan is followed by a thing or matter
e.g. Saya menghadiahkan sebuah album foto kepada Ahmad.
e.g. Hakim itu menjatuhkan hukuman mati kepada pengedar dadah itu.
3 The word in front of di...i is a person.
e.g. Hashim dikirimi kawannya sepucuk surat.
e.g. Aminah dikurniai Tuhan seorang anak lelaki.
4 The word in front of di...kan is a thing or some matter
e.g. Seketul batu dilemparkan oleh Hasnah ke arah anjing itu untuk menghalaunya.
e.g. Fail itu diserahkan oleh kerani itu kepada majikannya.
[The words in bold are the words formed by combining the affixes meN...i, meN..kan, di...i or di..kan with words from the twelve members in the group mentioned in the sentence I ask my students to memorise. The words in italics are either persons or things]

So much for some fun in learning the Malay language.
