About Subtle Malay

Hey there!

I’m Baizura, your fellow language enthusiast and the creator behind subtlemalay.com. I was born and raised in Malaysia, making me a native Malay speaker. I’m excited to share my love for the Malay language with anyone who’s interested in learning and connecting with the beauty of our culture through words.

Embracing Change During Challenging Times

subtlemalay.com was born out of a unique situation – the global pandemic. When Covid-19 hit and everyone was confined to their homes, I saw an opportunity to create something meaningful. As an avid K-drama fan and a self-learner of Korean, I marveled at the wealth of free Korean language content available online. This got me thinking about my own language and how we could create a similar learning space for Malay enthusiasts.

From Learner to Guide

Unlike a traditional teacher, I’m more of a continuous learner on my own journey. My passion for learning inspired me to start sharing videos on my YouTube channel, “Subtle Malay.” Having around 400 followers from various corners of the world – for someone who considers herself nobody – is something I’m incredibly grateful for. These followers became my motivation to create subtlemalay.com – a dedicated platform where we can dive even deeper into the world of Malay language learning.

Why “Subtle Malay”?

You might be wondering about the name “subtlemalay.com.” To me, the Malay language is elegant and intricate in its subtleties. My goal is to make learning Malay approachable and enjoyable, without overwhelming you with complexities. Just like how my YouTube channel’s name suggests, we’ll explore the subtleties of the Malay language in a relaxed and friendly manner.
