Bahasa Indonesia


For one of my creativity activity, I decided to learn Indonesian as I realized the need of improving the level of the language of the country which I live in. The teacher is a native Indonesian speaker and she visits my place for an one-to-one lesson of one and half hour each lesson. The lesson was flexible. At times she brought past IB Indonesian exam papers, and on contrast, it was a free talk session in Indonesian at times. 

This activity impacted me in that I gained the skills of Indonesian language through the the flexible lessons. I learned a lot about the difficulties in Indonesian idioms and grammars. In addition, it also allowed to experience how to interact with an purely Indonesian individuals, as their culture was different to ours. I believe I can apply what I’ve learned in this activity to other life situations because I now have the basics of the Indonesian language. It was an amazing experience and I’m proud to say that this activity is a valid CAS activity.
