What Indonesian sounds like in English

Learning another language is not just learning new vocabulary, but also learning another way of thinking. I myself have just realised how strange language can sound even when you do know all the words! Happy translating!

I'm at the A2 level of Bahasa Indonesia and I LOVED this so much. It really helps the learning process to understand context, especially how we Bules actually hear and interpret this in our heads at first.

[@Mila-ix2oz]

Ngakakkk... Boleh kasih pendapat mba sacha... Bahasa Indonesia memang tidak bisa langsung di translate ke bahasa inggris per kata,harus liat konteksnya.Karena bahasa indonesia dibuat BAKUnya bukan dari bahasa Inggris itulah uniknya bahasa kita

[@TheRIZKYRAMA]

Bahasa Indonesia salah satu bahasa yang mempunyai Grammar yang paling sederhana

[@sjkewlest]

Tips: kalo ga ada bahasa inggrisnya, gausah mikir keras buat translate kata-kata itu ke bahasa inggris. Contoh: otak-otak, orangutan, rendang, tempe. Semua itu gaada bahasa Inggrisnya jadi gausah sok-sok di Inggris-in. "Trus gimana dong biar bule-bule ngerti?" > ya ngomong apa adanya. Bule-bule juga nyebut sebuah kata dalam bahasa aslinya kalo gaada di dalam bahasa Inggris kok
