6 Local Writing Systems in Indonesia

Indonesia is a vast country in Southeast Asia that anyone can recognize easily on the map because it borders the sea, thus its country border is also the sea border. Hundreds of ethnic groups and languages exist in Indonesia. Despite having numerous writing systems, the government recognizes the Latin alphabet as the official writing system, which was introduced during the colonization by the Europeans.

9 Multilingual News Websites For Reading Practice

Learners learn languages in many different ways, such as attending language classes, playing games, or listening to audio. Whatever the methods are, they usually cover four aspects of language learning: reading, listening, speaking, and writing. Mastering only one or two of these is not enough because, in reality, we read, listen, speak, and write.

I speak 4 languages in Penang Malaysia and I shall learn 1 more language

I spoke 4 languages: Hokkien, Indonesian, English, and Mandarin on my recent trip to Penang. There was no communication barrier since the Penangnites are mostly multilingual too, at least, they know a bit of each language. They are also familiar with the Indonesian language because of the many tourists from Indonesia, either for tourism or medical checkups. I had learnt Tamil before but it was not enough for me to have a conversation yet. I will learn Tamil more seriously from now on, so I can use it on my next trip to Penang.

5 Famous Polyglots and Their Learning Techniques

You may have watched videos of people speaking in multiple languages. Some of them even call themselves hyperpolyglots. Whether they really can speak fluently or not, we don't know unless we test them. However, here I shall present 5 renowned polyglots that have been on the news, in the community worldwide and have proved their exceptional linguistic capabilities.

Esperanto: Saluton!

I had heard and read about Esperanto before, but did not pay much attention to it until today, when I watched several videos about Esperanto. You may question what kind or which country's language Esperanto is. How important is this language for the society? How did everything begin? How many Esperanto speakers there are in this world? Can Esperanto be one of the major languages in the global business market like Chinese and English?

Nauruan Language

The Taiwanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a two-day event promoting the Asia-Pacific culture in the capital city of Taiwan, Taipei City, on September 28-29th. The participants come from the Solomon Islands, the Philippines, the Marshall Islands, Vietnam, Tuvalu, Thailand, Singapore, South Korea, New Zealand, Palau, Nauru, Malaysia, Kiribati, Japan, Indonesia, India, Fiji, and Brunei. Apart from performing dances from each country, the participants also displayed a wide variety of handicrafts and artworks as well as authentic cuisine at each country's booth.

A unique group of Chinese Indonesian: Why are they still able to converse fluently in Hokkien after most areas have been "Indonesianized"?

Before visiting Medan, Indonesia, like many non-Indonesians who have never visited Medan, I thought that the local Chinese were highly Indonesianized, just like other parts of Indonesia such as Jakarta, Surabaya and Bandung. Therefore, when I visited Medan for the first time in 2009, I was deeply surprised by the fact that most of the local Chinese, including children, speak fluent Hokkien, as Hokkien is also my father's native dialect.

Indonesian language from Medan city

Medan has a unique language that can be confusing for foreigners. It's neither pure Batak nor pure Malay, but rather a blend of various cultures, making it even more distinctive. To help you better understand and avoid awkwardness when interacting with Medan residents, here's a list of Indonesian words from the city. From transportation terms to iconic phrases, they'll instantly make you feel like a local. Transportation & Places Becak Hantu = Motorized rickshaw that goes very fast Galon = Gas Station Kede Aceh = Grocery shop (usually owned by Acehnese people) Kede Sampah = Small shop selling vegetables and kitchen necessities Kereta = Motorbike Monja/Monza = Place selling imported used clothes (origin of the word: Monginsidi Plaza) Pajak = Market (place for buying and selling vegetables, meat, or basic necessities) Pasar = Paved highway Pinggir! = Said to the public transport driver when a passenger wants to get off Simpang = Crossroads or three-way intersections Temba...

Gilbertese Language

Kiribati (Gilberts) Kiribati (or locally pronounced as "Gilberts") derives from the Gilbert Islands, which is the main island. The name of the Gilbert Islands in indigenous Gilbertese language is " Tungaru ". The Gilbert Islands was named after a British explorer , Thomas Gilbert, who was the first European to discover them. It is home to about 100,000 of I-Kiribati .

Polyglot Conference 2025 Taipei

The Polyglot Conference, a multilingual event, took place from November 10 to 12 in Taipei. More than 400 people from around the world attended this 3-day event in Taipei. My wife and I joined from the beginning until the end. I met many old and new friends at this event. I also asked two friends who have written books to sign their books for me. In this event, I had the chance to speak Hokkien, Indonesian, English, Mandarin, Spanish, Esperanto, Portuguese, and Tok Pisin. People in the photos come from the following countries: Indonesia Eswatini South Africa Taiwan Malaysia Philippines Guatemala Germany USA UK Haiti Belgium China St. Vincent and the Grenadines South Korea Netherland Costa Rica Romania France In addition, there were 2 authors whom I know and whose book I have bought.
