#1 Let’s Study: Basics of Indonesian Language (Part One)
Monday, November 16th, 2009
Learning new languages can be fun. Especially when you just start skimming on the basics. The laughs that you get when you say something in a completely different meaning than the one you intended, or the joy when you get to memorize exciting new words and how to use them correctly in a sentence… it’s a fun feeling. And if you want to visit some place where the people there speak different languages than you, knowing some words and sentences—even if it’s just a small amount—can and should be helpful for your journey.
And that’s why I include this post about how to speak and understand simple Indonesian words that should be useful if one day you decide to visit Bandung for vacation—or any other part of Indonesia, for that matter. On the other hand, I will also divulge to you some basic Sundanese words since Sundanese is a culture that is dominant here in Bandung and knowing some Sundanese words can drastically help you getting acquainted with many folks here in the city (believe me on that.)
