Monica really didn’t want to believe me that I couldn’t speak a word in Indonesian when I went there last time in two thousand and nineteen. Am I not a trustworthy guy? Did I give her a reason to doubt? In fact, I learned everything I know in the last 12 months.
what does this word mean in english?

Monica bener-bener nggak mau percaya sama gue kalau gue nggak bisa ngomong sepatah kata pun dalam bahasa Indonesia pas gue ke sana terakhir kali tahun dua ribu sembilan belas.
