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.

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.

We don't need native speakers

Many people I know think they can learn a language well only from a native speaker. What if the native speaker doesn't know how to teach? What if the native speaker doesn't know your necessity and difficulty? They learn their language differently than you do. As someone from a non-English-speaking country, I have seen many schools for learning English. Many of them even hire teachers from English-speaking countries. However, we still see so many people who cannot speak English well. Language students need either someone who knows the local culture so the teaching could be more effective or someone who learns the language from the basics so that person knows any tips and tricks to learn it well. A native speaker is not always essential. Here are some reasons why: Structured Learning: Grammar and Vocabulary: Teachers, whether native or non-native, can provide a structured approach to learning grammar rules and expanding vocabulary. Correct Pronunciation: Teachers can use phonetic

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.

How to Practice Speaking and Pronunciation

Improving speaking and pronunciation skills is essential for effective communication, whether you're learning a new language or refining your native tongue. Here are some practical strategies to help you enhance these skills: 1. Listen Actively Listening is the foundation of good pronunciation. Engage with native speakers through podcasts, movies, and music. Pay attention to the rhythm, intonation, and stress patterns. Mimic what you hear to internalize the sounds and patterns of the language. 2. Practice Regularly Consistency is key. Set aside time each day to practice speaking. Use language learning apps like Duolingo or Rosetta Stone, which offer structured speaking exercises. Regular practice helps reinforce muscle memory for correct pronunciation. 3. Record Yourself Recording your speech allows you to hear your pronunciation and identify areas for improvement. Compare your recordings with native speakers to spot differences. This self-assessment can be incredibly insightful. 4

Watch Listen Online (WLO)

The Internet has changed our lives so much, even about watching and listening. Here are several WLO websites that I have got through my friendships. Million thanks to my friends that have contributed these websites.

Multilingual countries

In today's interconnected world, learning a new language can open doors to countless opportunities, from personal enrichment to professional advancement.

Accustom yourself to different English accents

You are learning the language and you find out that you cannot understand when the people are talking? Don't worry, you may not learn it correctly. Stephen King said, "If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot."
