I’m learning Mandarin now and Indonesian was a breeze compared to this!....
The hardest thing bout learning indo is learning all the slang… well, in Jakarta, anyway… I spent two years learning indo from coursebooks before I moved over there and everyone laughed at my indo when i got there! I asked why they were laughing and was told, ‘you sound like a newspaper’.... big difference between colloqial and formal language….
But you just keep practising and pick it up aftr a while.. ahve fun with it!

I’m gunna ge filthy rich just for the hell of it. Dont want much really, just a big farm and to buy a place for my mum. But wouldn’t it be cool to get filthy rich just for the challenge of it, to show yourself you can. And also it wouldnt hurt to give huge amounts of money to where it should be going- redistribute a portion of the world’s funds to more needy parties or something along those lines…..
