How I learned Bahasa Indonesia

This is how I learned bahasa Indonesia. Using this method I was functional within 90 days and close to fluent within one year. Of course I continue to learn new things everyday, and the newspaper still contains some words I don't understand (in Indonesian OR English). But the point is you'll be speaking Indonesian very quickly. The biggest factor I guess is how much time you spend with Indonesians, many of my bule friends who hang out with the bule crowd in their spare time cannot speak Indonesian very well. That's why I avoided blues for several years. It's the same advice I'd give to Indonesians studying abroad. Don't hang out with Indonesians, and you'll learn more. Good luck!

I love your ideas and absolutely love seeing your determination to learn a language as you did with Indonesian. I remember all those years ago watching your first videos and being struck by your near-native Indonesian accent. NOT EASY TO DO for someone who didn't grow up in this country. Salut mbak Sasa!

Steps: 1. Buy reading books for kids 2. Find the words that appear most 3. Write down to paper and memorize it 10-20 words per day 4. 3 months, you get 900-1800 words 5. No bule conversation, just with drivers sellers from native Indonesian 6. When they feel awkward take a mental note of it, don't repeat the same mistake 7. Listen a lot to indonesian music that you like, find more words! 8. Just talks and keep talking. You'll be able to speak functionally.. 9. 1 year keep doing this you'll be fluent and fix your accents 10. Find words that make you have bad accents and try to mimic native speaker GOOD LUCK!

[@parasitius]

>9. 1 year keep doing this you'll be fluent and fix your accents You can't say that. It should be "fix your accent". You'll have to focus more on English before learning Indonesian.

Iya, nasihat gimana belajar bahasa baru betul. Saya juga belajar bahasa asing kaya gitu. TAPI-sama bahasa Indonesia hati2, gara2 kalau pake sumber resmi, kaya buku pelajaran Bahasa Indonesia, seringkali diajarin bahasa baku aja, dan masih ngak bisa ngerti bahasa sehari-hari yg di pake oleh 95% masyarakat dalam kehidupan harian, kan? Masih susah mulai gimana ngobrol dan ngerti bahasa sehari-hari, dan lu tahu gimana banyak kata2 gaul juga dipake dalam obrolan lumrah, ya? Jadi, saya usulin cari sumber di beberapa laman internet sama daftar kata2 gaul, atau coba baca blog2 yg ditulis sama kata2 gaul biar belajar gimana ngomong lebih kaya sehari-hari, ataupun pasti bakal suara kaya bule, sama atau tanpa logat, ya? Namun, saya manhargai banyak nonton tayangan Sacha-baik buat geli maupun sebagai sumber obrolan biasa, jadi mau ucapkan terimakasih atas video2 kaya gini-I've found them very very helpful. Terutamanya karena saya lagi belajar gimana ngomon bahasa Indo di AS dan ngak punya sempat latihan banyak di sisi dunia sini. Jadi makasih banyak, dan jaga bikin your thing there, ya?

Menurut saya aksen Bahasa Indonesia Sacha adalah perpaduan antara aksen Bule dan Sunda. Mungkin karena Sacha banyak belajar Bahasa Indonesia sama tukang, ibu warung, sopir, dll. (orang-orang yang kebetulan aksen kedaerahannya kental) dan kebetulan Sacha tinggal di Jawa Barat. Memang tidak ada satu pun aksen Bahasa Indonesia yang otentik. Tapi kalau Sacha ingin aksen yang "dianggap normal" dan "baku", amatilah aksen-aksen yang dimiliki para pembaca berita.

[@Henrimasadepan]

Kesimpulannya, Bahasa Indonesia sangat mudah dipelajari dan seharusnya dijadikan Bahasa Resmi seluruh dunia. Karena ini bahasa Rakyat, tidak memandang siapa pun anda, semakin anda ingin mendekat ke bahasa Indonesia, maka semakin terbuka lebar anda untuk bisa memahaminya, TANPA pernah meremehkan anda yang belum fasih berucap bahasa Indonesia. Kenapa bahasa Inggris harus ditinggalkan..?? Karena Bahasa Inggris membawa aura kesombongan, terlalu mengeklusifkan sebagai bahasa baku, dan di negara anda tidak ada yang SUKA RELA untuk mengajarkan bahasa Inggris, tetapi harus belajar sendiri, karena bagi anda waktu sangat berharga, dan tidak akan membuang percuma. Tapi bagi anda yang ingin belajar bahasa Indonesia, kami punya banyak waktu dan mengajarkan anda dengan tekun, sampai anda bisa. JADI TINGGALKANLAH BAHASA INGGRIS.

I'm agree with you Sacha.. Sometimes prefix-suffix system in Indonesian is kinda random and complicated.. I can never explain to foreigners how to use them properly because me myself learn to use those from daily conversation, not because I try to understand why we should use me-, meng-, ber-, -i, -kan, etc. And even me myself as Indonesian never really know exactly how many combination of prefix-suffix could be use for creating new words, it's too many, last time I was trying to figure it out, it's like more than 100 combination So it's like, I speak Indonesian not because I understand the system of the language, but because everybody spoke it, so I follow the root and as the times goes by, I got to used to the language

[@bisvizstudio1242]

it's not random at all. i can explain it to you briefly. or you just can watch Langfocus video about Indonesian Language.

Buka sahaja saluran tv terutama berita dan awak sendiri akan saksikan rakyat malaysia majoritinya bangga berbahasa inggeris meskipun soalan diajukan oleh pemberita dalam bahasa Malaysia. Dari menteri hinggalah pelajar cemerlang spm. Mereka selesa berbahasa inggeris.. Buat video pun kadang kadang lebih selesa berbahasa inggeris macam king koko tu. Artis malaysia sendiri pernah menyatakan i sound like stupid if i speak in Malay dalam satu acara anugerah media.. Memang saya akui bahasa inggeris bahasa dunia dan bahasa pengetahuan. Scha sendiri dah buat video perbandingan carian di google bahasa indonesia dengan bahasa inggeris. Soal yang saya tekankan kenapa harus malu berbahasa Malaysia. Cuba lihat rakyat indonesia. Dari scha yang berbangsa inggeris hinggalah Ahok yang berbangsa cina. Mereka tetap berbahasa indonesia walaupun boleh berbahasa inggeris. Yang saya tekankan di sini adalah jati diri dan bangga dengan bahasa ibunda. Perkara inilah yang ditekankan oleh dato seri rais yatim. Majalah? Baca fakta dulu puan. Komik bobo tu diterbitkan bekas penjajah belanda dengan kerjasama indonesia yang lebih menjurus kepada penggunaan bahasa indonesia. Komik malaysia lebih kepada lawak jenaka ataupun unsur agama. Komik upin ipin pun lebih kepada unsur hiburan. Untuk pengetahuan puan juga scha dah boleh berbahasa indonesia sebelum lagi berkahwin dengan suaminnya. Waktu tu dia menjadi guru bahasa inggeris.

These are such good hints! I used to learn Arabic this way. Starting with children's book, writing 10 words a day from the books and children short movies and looking up the meaning, and reviewing them daily. Later on I'd do the same with Arabic news and national geographic in Arabic, to learn more complicated words and sentence structures. Then buying Arabic books for adults about subjects I really like. It was only after 12 years that I finally met Classical Arabic speaking people (I went to Morrocco) to have Arabic conversation with, and they didn't even know I wasn't Arab, they thought I was Syrian haha!

These are really helpful and practical tips to learn not just Indonesian I think but any second languages! I'm fluent in Indonesian and English and I'm now pretty functional in Spanish (if I got stranded somewhere in Spanish-speaking countries, I can probably still get by, even Portuguese if we all talk slowly), and I've also been working on French. I know the mechanics of some other languages like Mandarin and German but I only have little vocabulary. And German grammar is pretty hard. Tackling accent problem is not that hard for me. The problem for me is actually isolating a certain dialect/accent. My English accent is a well mix of general North American/New England/South Britain/Scottish (with soft Ts but somehow rhotic R) and my Spanish accent is apparently a mix of Mexican/Puerto Rican/Cuban/Spanish (well for Spanish is probably because I use North Spanish vocabs and pronunciation). But really repeating what native speakers say would help a lot. My Spanish teacher in college for example sounds like Venezuelan and has been asked a lot whether or not she is from Venezuela, but apparently nope she's a very Irish lady from the midwest. By the way, "your spelling is your pronunciation", this means Indonesian is a phonetic language (a strictly phonetic one really). This means every letter (and diphthong) (grapheme) only one corresponding sound (phoneme) and vice versa. Included in this category would be, with some really few exceptions: Russian, Spanish, German. A lot of languages were also highly phonetic but then have undergone simplifications in pronunciation, with old spellings kept for historical reasons, like Czech, Polish, and Greek. Believe it or not, English was also once a highly phonetic language as well because of it's Germanic and Norse roots, but supposedly changed especially after French influence came in.

Bagus banget tipsnya wk, dulu majalah bobo jadi temen boker wk.

Anyway: me + kata dasar berawalan K, T, S, P, awalannya jadi lebur (bukan mempelajari tapi memelajari, bukan mentulis tapi menulis, bukan memperhatikan tapi memerhatikan, dan sejenisnya) dengan pengecualian kata dasar yg awalannya K,T,S,P itu diikuti huruf konsonan lagi (bukan mengritik tapi mengkritik, dan sejenisnya).

[@albertdaniel3343]

saya sangat suka channel ini karena saya juga ikt belajar bhs inggris dengan mendengarkan anda berbicara

[@riojohan5769]

Sedikit koreksi Sacha. Padanan "spelling" dalam bahasa Indonesia adalah "pengejaan" sementara "pronounciation" itu "pelafalan". Aku pikir mayoritas orang Indonesia tahu ini, tapi memang jarang dipakai dan (sayangnya) versi keminggris (Englosnesian) yang salah kaprah itu yang justru sering dipakai ("spelling" sebagai "pelafalan"). Mengenai perbedaan akhiran -kan dan akhiran -i, ini lebih ke urusan tata bahasa/gramatikal. Dan memang kedua akhiran ini rumit (saya yakin orang Indonesia pun banyak yang tidak paham kalau ditanyai). Perlu pembelajaran panjang untuk paham penggunaan dua akhiran tersebut. Dua-duanya punya banyak fungsi, salah satu fungsinya, misalnya sebagai untuk membentuk kalimat imperatif (imperative form), atau kalimat perintah. Masukkan buku ke dalam lemari! Masuki kucing itu ke dalam rumah! Dua-duanya betul. Perbedaan antar amasukkan dan masuki ada di apa yang mau kamu tekankan (emphasized) dalam kalimat perintahmu. Di kalimat pertama (dengan akhiran -kan), kamu lebih menekankan pada aksi/perbuatan, sementara di kalimat kedua (dengan akhiran -i) kamu lebih menekankan pada lokasi/tempat/tujuan/sasaran dari perintahmu. Aksi dan sasaran. Itu salah satu perbedaannya. Dalam kalimat indikatif (indicative) misalnya: Suatu jin sudah memasuki tubuh laki-laki itu (A ginie has possesed the man): Kamu lebih menekankan pada sasaran, yaitu tubuh si laki-laki itu. Saya (sedang) memasukkan buku ke dalam tas (I am putting my book into the bag): Kamu lebih menekankan pada aksi memasukkan buku. Masih banyak perbedaan lain, dan saya aku memahami imbuhan/akhiran dalam tata bahasa Indonesia bisa sama panjang dan pusingnya dengan memahami tenses dalam bahasa Inggris (terutama karena bahasa Indonesia lebih mengedepankan penekanan daripada konteks waktu dalam kalimat, yang mungkin akan membingungankan orang asing yang sudah terbiasa dengan tenses).

[@sol9742]

I'm Indonesian, and prefixes, suffixes, and affixes are the hardest part of Indonesian language, especially for non-native speakers. That's because there is no definitive rule on the combinations and how they affect the meaning of the root words. It's very different from English where there is a standard rule on how affixes affect the word meanings. The only way to learn the correct combination of Indonesian prefixes and how they are used is to observe and hear them in daily conversation and books.

[@helmisumarno]

The most important message that I get from this video is how much you're eager and willing to learn something. For example, to only hangout with the lower-class locals in an attempt to improve local language skill is quite an effort. But since you love Indonesia so much, those things are most likely easier to do and get done. Good luck to everyone who's currently learning Bahasa Indonesia!

this is a great video Sacha!very practical and helpful! Terima kasih banyak! i've been married to an Indonesian for more than a year now, but i'm still not fluent in Bahasa. We live overseas and it frustrates me everytime we visit my in-laws, as I can't chat to them much.. 😆

"biar ada banyak bule aneh kayak aku."

[@travelingchez]

I learnt pretty much the same way. I'd buy SD books from Gramedia the sd1 had pictures which were great for learning. I still have the book somewhere that I used to write down all the words I was learning. I would translate Peterpan songs and hang around at my friends skater shop where zero English was spoken. Agree after a year I was pretty fluent and understanding full speed Indonesian. Oh and to add pillow talk increased to the speed of learning too ;)

[@travelingchez]

The karaoke vcd's were good for finding out new words too.

Great..I can also apply it to German languange.. Danke Sacha...

[@seantan474]

Thank you for creating this video in response to my comment last week Sacha! This is of immense help to me and I will definitely wish to have a conversation with you in Bahasa soon!

[@KevinEontrainer381]

Fun Fact: According to Wikipedia, Bobo is a Dutch magazine. Not Indonesian. My childhood was a lie... Also, he is 9 years old and not aging apparently

[@Ac1d]

Input, thumbnail nya 'how to learn Bahasa' Bahasa = Language And Bahasa Indonesia = Indonesian/ Indonesian Language (kayak bahasa korea : Korean)

[@milakmal]

Ac1d iya sih.. tapi orang luar biasanya kalo 'bahasa' udah pasti lagi ngebahas bahasa Indonesia.. 🤔

[@Ganges172]

I don't speak any Bahasa Indonesia (even after watching your videos for a few months I can only understand a tiny bit, a few words here and there), but I've taught myself a few languages to varying degrees, and I've also taken language classes in university. I'm an academic, and I love schools and universities, but I have so much respect for you and this method of learning a language. I've always been highly impressed with your knowledge and ability with Indonesian, and this only makes me even more respectful. Universities are great places filled with knowledge and cultural exchange, but they can only do so much (and classes are generally expensive to an extent). This method is so real, so immersive, and so much more friendly and fun than classes, and it encourages so much more cultural exchange! Thanks so much for making this video, it's great! :)

[@EvanC0912]

"Di mana ada kemauan, di situ ada jalan." That's will always be my favorite Indonesian proverb in learning foreign languages.

[@sfrnx]

Sacha, amazing video. Thanks for the tips - I might use it for other languages I want to learn. Oh, and speaking about translating songs - check mine out on my youtube channel, few years ago I translated an English language song into a full Bahasa Indonesia lol oops sorry for the shameless promo.

[@anastasyasamantha49]

i actually collect bobo lol, it's a great magazine, and maybe you kan try like newspaper for kids (?) It's berani i think, i have a lot from my school back then

[@EfiDiurna]

I LOVE YOU SASCHA!!! saya juga lagi susah nih belajar bahasa spanyol. sekarang tinggal di Kolombia dan masih enggak lancar ngomongnya. kayaknya bakal contek metode belajarnya, deh. makasih banyaaaaak!! btw, mungkin kamu mesti latihan ngomong "bobo" karena masih terdengar seperti "bowbow" hihihi

[@novandaghifarie]

I LOVE BOBO SINCE I WAS KINDERGARTEN.. I SUBSCRIBE TO HIM!! a read both junior and original.. HE HAS 3 SISTER.. YOUNGER SISTER. CORENG, UPIK, CIMUT.. THEY ARE SO COOL AND GIVING ME A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE... ESPECIALLY, THE STORIES AND "OUR ENGLISH PAGE" Bobo was already publish in 1973.. i kinda looks ugly but i appreciate it... so far, i was 6th grade now and i still read it! LOve You SACHA!!!

[@eleveneightseven7848]

bikin video belajar bahasa Inggris dong 😩 aku masih banyak salah-salah nih

[@davinrisyalhanif]

eleveneightseven nah, kita juga butuh ini! 😁

[@garlicson]

i wish bobo had an english version. so i can learn english language easily 😂

[@azhariramadhani4432]

I hope so 😶

[@b2mbalil0lpanda84]

Hi Saha, thanks a LOT for your tips, I wanted to learn bahasa badly; it's indeed so beautifu! my level is very low I knew what my balinese friends teached me ..like maybe 80words so far mostly used on daily basis which is eactly what I needed to start, since I discovered this viedeos I decided to follow your method and it works for me! As I'm back again to Bali in june I'm gonna get some Bobo books because not available in my country, I'm also lucky enough that my balinese friends help me a lot on daily basis, I'm definitely committed to improve, pelan-pelan ;) Terima kasih banyak!

[@zaldygozali5815]

omg Sacha, you even try to fix your accent? Most bule won't even care 'bout that as long as they can speak and understand Indo.. You must be really love Indo haha, or are you just perfectionist? If it's the former then thank you very much for loving this country. Either way, you are awesome and inspiring! I love this "bule aneh"!

[@marthanendissa7498]

i think you sounds just like a true sundanese 😊👍🏼

[@Orion_idn]

omg.. this is the new quote : "Kita rampok dari Hollywood doang jangan rampok dari local *that's the rules " :D :D

[@TheJerkmeoff]

I just came back from indo three days ago from being there for a month and I love your ambition, I wish I saw this a month ago! I listened to a bunch of videos and screened shot some basic stuff and I was super surprised how much I was able to communicate! Bahasa is similar to Hawaiian and I am very happy about not conjugating verbs! You’re amazing btw even with your slight accent.

[@AWMeno]

Thank You Sooooo. much Sacha. Really helpful. I wait for your videos with anticipation. This one really helps me. I'm 54. Live in the Gili's, Lombok. Married here to a local for 10 yrs. And still struggle with the language. (too many bule' here).

[@ishakadriansyah8085]

[@Circlevin]

Hahahaha

[@peterharris4386]

Hi Sacha. I've always been envious of your fluent Bahasa, and now I know why. I have one little problem; I'm dyslexic. (I use voice recognition software to leave my remarks/comments, as I do here on you tube) So your method of buying Bobo is not going to work for me. And all the constant reminding from me, to my girlfriend to help me, I still haven't learnt much after all the time I have been in Jakarta. She's too busy wanting to talk to me in English, so she can improve her English skills. And I do take your advice, and I hang out at my local warung, and talk to the Ojek guys for example. But their English is very limited, which makes them trying to translate my English, into Bahasa, for me to learn, very difficult. So my question is, do you have a way of learning Bahasa, without using the written word?? Much appreciated.

[@Michelle-je9jk]

Listening to Indonesian songs might help or audiobooks but I don't know if there is Indonesian audiobooks

[@peterharris4386]

Thanks MJ, i'll check it out.

[@feconway]

Peter Harris Just Watch Vids

[@feconway]

And you're not the only one who's dyslexic

[@peterharris4386]

Safiyyah Conway Hi Safiyyah. Can you suggest any videos I can watch? When I've seen Indonesian people speak on TV or you tube, they talk very quickly, and it's a little hard to understand them. Sacha's suggestion of buying Bo-bo every week is good. I only wish there is a video version of Bo-bo, or something similar.

[@rungoyo]

I learn alot from both of your videos - i live in Banyuwangi 1 year and was making music videos in Osing and singing all the sings with the music artists - and i had to translate backwards after memorising and translate back Osing - java -- indo - english ... it was ... alot!!!! but so fun. Nothing like mu first concert 5000 people maybe, MC speaking to me and i had no clue what he was saying

[@bruceriseley3667]

This was a HOOT, achievable goals, good learning and referred resources. I am also re-inspired to attack Bahasa. thank you Bruce

Wow, sacha jago banget bikin metode belajar supaya cepet bisa bahasa indonesia, hebat !!!

[@IsnieB]

Ini benar banget, gue dari Philippines terus udah 1 tahun di jakarta di waktu pandemic ini, sebenarnya, selalu di asrama atau rumah karena kelasnya online deh. jadinya kalo mau belajar bahasa sendiri harus sama tukang sayur, tukang warung, satpam dan lain. Sebenarnya, dulu kuliahnya langsung, gak ada language studies jadi harus belajar sendiri doang.

Spelling = Mengeja Pronounciation = Pengucapan

[@MrAdamjayschwarz]

Eh, yg mana lebih bener buat "Pronounciation", "pengucapan" atau "lafal/pelafalan"? Mungkin terjemahan dari dua kata itu lebih kaya "speech" dan "Pronounciation" dalam inggeris, kan?

[@arkanmur89345]

pengucapan = proses, cara, perbuatan mengucapkan (kata; perkataan) pelafalan = melafalkan/mengucapkan kata (huruf demi huruf) kalo speech itu pidato

[@MultiChantal22]

It's PRONUNCIATION not pronounciation

[@whiterosebabie]

I'm just learning Indonesian and came across this video in my search. This is a great tip. I have several magazines in Indonesia that I will start doing this with! The only thing I will do differently is the amount. For me personally 10-20 is very overwhelming! I will probably start off with 5 then when I memorize those move on to 5 more. Hopefully I will work up to 10 each time! Thanks for the suggestions.

[@rerreinge1884]

Halo Sacha. Salam hangat selalu untuk kamu, juga warga Australia. Selamat datang di Indonesia. Moga krasan selalu di negri ini.

[@tenienteramires4428]

Does it also works for other tongues?

[@keripik6728]

berarti klo ngomong sama orang bule pake bahasa indonesia aja yak :D

[@arkanmur89345]

Fatma yaps, bener banget. kita yakin, pasti para bule mau belajar bahasa indonesia. tapi kita malah bicara bahasa inggris

[@keripik6728]

iyap betul. gak usah repot-repot pake bhs inggris yak. bhs inggrisnya dimatiin dulu :D

[@savrilisius]

Aksen org2 indonesia sendiri bermacam macam ada org batak yg berbahasa indonesia ,orang sunda atau jawa yang berbahasa indonesia mereka unik dan beda satu sama lain,sacha bule yg berbahasa indonesia dg keunikannya,, keren

[@hilalalaylomm]

aku juga belajar bahasa indonesia sendiri. aku belajar di universitas tapi tidak ada banyak practice karena itu aku belajar sendiri. when i used to live in indonesia i bought me child books too haha and tried to learn it. sekarang aku di jerman dan belajar tentang nonton youtube video, membaca buku (untuk anak2) dan coba memfilmkan (untuk berbicara) dalam bahasa indonesia. i don't have much people or anyone around me who can talk with me. so i usually talk to myself ahahah aduhhh :D makasih untuk video-videomu. aku belajar dengan nonton videomu juga :) makasih ya sacha!

[@arifrahman8602]

wajib beli majalah BOBO sama GADIS

[@rahmatsuraya]

that's awesome to teach some foreigner Indonesian language. I'm Indonesian. lol

[@gadjahmada8184]

Belajar semua bahasa itu tdk mudah, krn diperlukan kesabaran dan daya ingat yg tinggi serta tdk mudah menyerah atau bosan. Saya pernah belajar bahasa inggris 4 bln itupun blm serasa pintar. Saya pernah kuliah di universitas di Washington, bahasa inggris saya mengalir begitu saja tanpa pikir, setelah kembali ke Indonesia malah banyak yg lupa. Pernah belajar bahasa Mandarin krn punya pacar chinesee Malaysia jd bisa tp setelah jd teman biasa, bahasa mandarin saya jd lupa😀.....saya suka semua bahasa tp stlh bisa ga digunakan lagi jd lupa lagi...semoga yg belajar bahasa Indonesia terus berjuang. Actually Indonesian language is a simplest language in the world, theres no irregular verb. The Verb never change just adding "akan" for future tense, "sudah" for past tense and "sedang" for continous tense mudahkan😊 just to know most Indonesian people are helpful if knowing someone wanna learn bahasa Indonesis....follOw Sasha's tips you gonna make it...keep it up brosis 😊🙏

[@saltynebula]

Sapa tuh 1 orang yg nge-dislike? . . Tapi suer deh ini saran paling realistis yg pernah gw temuin di youtube. Bisa buat belajar bahasa selain indonesia juga.
