The concept of asynchronous online language learning has been recognised as an alternative learning method worldwide. This learning method has been utilised with the aid of many software applications to help students continue their learning journey remotely. Following the technological advancement, this project was executed to provide a platform for those who are interested in learning beginner-level Malay for free through an application called Discord. It also aimed to introduce Malaysia as a country through weekly posting on Malaysian festivities. Another objective of this project was to get fifteen participants, with at least three active learners in seven weeks. The members were facilitated through various forms of study materials such as videos, flashcards, exercises, and notes. The participants’ comprehension level was then collected through verbal communication and quizzes.
