Selamat pagi Good morning
Indonesian is the easiest language to start in this set: Latin alphabet, near-phonetic spelling, no tones, no gender. This chapter flags a few sound traps (c = "ch", e = schwa, ng/ny) then goes straight to greetings: good morning/afternoon/evening. No grammar yet — a pronunciation-foundation chapter.
