Bahasa Indonesia Class

So, one of my resolutions of this internship is learn language #5...(Ok, ok, spanish (#4) isn't quite perfect....actually, not realy understood, but I plan to work on it!)

I live with a Japanese girl at the host family and she is here for 1 year to learn the language. She spoke it in one month....DAMN! I'll have to learn how she did that!

Anyways, AIESEC LC-UB has given me a couple of classes and I am learning it slowly...When I say things like Saya delapan, you might think, WOW! She can speak a bit....Until you know what it means! I tend to mix the letters and the words sometimes! Like my friend in Italia said, VB, my brain only slowly switches to Bahasa Mode! So, instead of saying I am hungry, I said....I am 8!!!! What the hell was that! I am 8????????????????? hahaha! Let's just say that we all laugh about it!!!!

I love the language and I try to learn it everynight! An hour every night or so! Not easy because it is very different! Bu I love it...At least it is letters and not symbols like in Thai! :)

I am able to understand how much I need to pay for certain things and stuff like that. Basic things! But I sometimes also understand what they talk about in a conversation!

Anyways, selamat sore everyone! Have a nice afternoon! :)
