Are you sure about that?
I’m confused, but maybe you can explain it to me… Nasi Goreng was originally invented in Malaysia, right? I’m just kidding, just teasing you! I definitely know that Indonesia is not part of Malaysia.
Indonesia is just a small province in Malaysia, right?
Come on, don’t lie. I’m pretty sure the King of Malaysia recently said that Jakarta is just a small district in Kuala Lumpur, really?
Actually, the truth is that I am also Indonesian, what a coincidence, right? Why do you doubt me? What if I told you I was born in Jakarta, right next to Monas? When I was a baby, everyone called me petai because that was the only thing I wanted to eat!
I swear this is the truth, my little fried banana!
I just remembered
Kamu yakin tentang itu?
Aku jadi bingung nih, tapi mungkin kamu bisa jelasin ke aku… Nasi Goreng itu kan aslinya ditemukan di Malaysia, ya? Aku cuma bercanda kok, cuma ngegodain kamu aja! Pastilah aku tahu kalau Indonesia bukan bagian dari Malaysia.
Indonesia itu kan cuma provinsi kecil di Malaysia, ya?
Ayolah, jangan bohong deh. Aku yakin banget Raja Malaysia baru-baru ini bilang kalau Jakarta itu cuma distrik kecil di Kuala Lumpur, masah sih?
Sebenarnya, kenyataannya adalah aku juga orang Indonesia, kebetulan banget, kan? Kenapa sih kamu ragu sama aku? Gimana kalau aku bilang aku lahir di Jakarta, pas banget deket Monas? Waktu bayi, semua orang manggil aku petai karena itu doang yang aku mau makan! Aku sumpah ini kebeneran, pisang goreng kecilku!

Tell me, what do you usually like to do? Wait, let me guess! So I’m sure you like scrolling through TikTok, going out for a walk and turning down men who ask you to dinner, and then say, ‘Oh, I’m too busy, I already have a boyfriend!’ Is that true?
You can add me on Instagram and message me anytime if you have any questions or want to talk about girl problems or anything like that!
Mungkin bahasa Indonesia tuh salah satu bahasa favorit aku. Aku masih kurang banyak kosa kata, tapi tiap ngomong, rasanya kayak lagi tiduran santai di pantai Bali, nyeruput koktail, terus digaruk-garuk punggungnya sama monyet! Kamu tahu maksudku? Ngerti nggak maksudnya? masuk akal nggak?
Eh, kasih tahu aku, biasanya kamu suka ngapain aja? Tunggu, coba aku tebak! Jadi aku pasti kamu suka scrolling tiktok, pergi belanja dan nolakin cowok-cowok yang ngajak kamu makan malam, terus bilang, ‘Aduh, aku terlalu sibuk, aku udah punya pacar!’ Bener nggak?

Apparently I can’t control my mouth, sometimes I say silly things, sorry my little rainbow

So when I was in America, I was kinda shocked. Because Wisconsin is, like, one of the biggest cheese producers in America. So there are so many cows there, more cows than people. That was definitely a culture shock.

Diving there was really fun, I saw a lot of big turtles and various kinds of fish. Have you been to Flores, my new friend?

Perjalanan terakhirku ke Indonesia seru banget. Aku naik kapal ke Nusa Lembongan, terus naik pesawat ke Flores buat menyelam selama beberapa hari. Pengalamannya bener-bener luar biasa.

Habis itu, aku terbang balik ke Bali terus ke Ubud buat santai dan yoga. Aku sebenarnya udah rencana mau naik gunung berapi, tapi sayangnya tiba-tiba aku kena demam yang parah banget. Akhirnya aku harus terjebak di kamar hotel seminggu penuh buat sembuh / pulih, nyebelin banget!

Sekarang kamu udah balik ke Indonesia, kamu tinggal di kota mana?
Jadi aku bayangin, sebagai cewek polos, kamu mengalami culture shock nggak pas pertama kali pindah ke Amerika?

Sorry, but I don’t know the city. If Jakarta is the center of Indonesia, in which direction is your city? North, east, south, or west?
So are you a student now or are you working? What kind of work?
So do you want to know when I started learning this language? Let me think about it first. To be precise, I started studying in September two thousand and twenty-three. I’m just studying on the side, because I’m always busy, but my progress is quite good. What do you think, do I sound like a native speaker?
My Indonesian is really bad
Maaf ya, tapi aku nggak tahu kota itu. Kalau Jakarta pusatnya Indonesia, kotamu ada di arah mana? Utara, timur, selatan, atau barat?
Jadi sekarang kamu mahasiswa atau udah kerja? Kerja apa?
Jadi kamu mau tau kapan aku mulai belajar bahasa ini? Coba aku pikir-pikir dulu. Tepatnya, aku mulai belajar dari September tahun dua ribu dua puluh tiga. Aku sih belajarnya cuma sampingan aja, soalnya aku selalu sibuk, tapi ya lumayan lah kemajuanku. Gimana menurutmu, apakah aku udah terdengar seperti penutur asli?
Bahasa Indonesiaku jelek banget

Are you a translator? Wow, that’s so cool! No wonder your English is so good.
So if I need a translator, can I hire you? If I need a tour guide, can I hire you too?
Can you help me translate something?
The cost of living in Vancouver is very expensive, the service is very expensive and the apartement is small. I think you need at least 3000 dollars per month to live here.
Kamu penerjemah? Wah, keren banget! Pantesan bahasa Inggrismu jago banget.
Jadi kalau aku butuh penerjemah, bisa sewa kamu nih? Baigaimana kalau aku butuh pemandu wisata, bisa sewa kamu juga?
Bisa membantuku terjemahin sesuatu?
Biaya hidup di Vancouver mahal banget, sewaannya sangat mahal dan apartemennya kecil-kecil. Aku rasa kamu butuh setidaknya 3000 dolar per bulan buat tinggal di sini.

Jakarta is the center of Indonesia, whether in terms of government, economy, or culture.
When you’re angry, do curse words come out in Indonesian or English?

Indonesia is just a small province in Malaysia, right?
Come on, don’t lie. I’m pretty sure the King of Malaysia recently said that Jakarta is just a small district in Kuala Lumpur, really?
I’m confused, but maybe you can explain it to me… Nasi Goreng was originally invented in Malaysia, right? I’m just kidding, just teasing you! I definitely know that Indonesia is not part of Malaysia.
I just remembered
Indonesia itu kan cuma provinsi kecil di Malaysia, ya?
Ayolah, jangan bohong deh. Aku yakin banget Raja Malaysia baru-baru ini bilang kalau Jakarta itu cuma distrik kecil di Kuala Lumpur, masah sih?
Aku jadi bingung nih, tapi mungkin kamu bisa jelasin ke aku… Nasi Goreng itu kan aslinya ditemukan di Malaysia, ya? Aku cuma bercanda kok, cuma ngegodain kamu aja! Pastilah aku tahu kalau Indonesia bukan bagian dari Malaysia.

Still adapting to his friends. Honestly, I don’t really like my new coworkers. They like to gossip too much.
He had just been promoted to manager, even though he used to be the one lifting all the heavy items in the warehouse.
have a nice day, have a nice dream
I put the book on top, but it seems to have fallen down now.
Masih beradaptasi dengan temannya. Sejujurnya kurang terlalu suka dengan rekan kerja baruku. Mereka terlalu suka bergosip.
Dia baru aja diangkat jadi manager, padahal dulu dia yang mengangkat semua barang berat di gudang.
semoga harimu menyenangkan, semoga mimpimu indah

How are you going to celebrate your birthday? Have you yet thought about it? Do you have any plans yet? I want to go out with my friends, dance at a club, and get drunk.
Don’t worry, just be happy!
Eh, tadi aku lupa mengambil dompetku, tapi untung aja nggak diambil orang.

My parents didn’t allow me to go to parties, they forbade me from coming home after 10pm, and I’ve even been forbidden from spending too much time in front of the computer.
Can you introduce yourself and share the lessons you took away from that experience?

One day, I went to Ubud to see the rice fields first, then take a yoga class. Ubud is really famous for yoga, right?
In class, there is a really beautiful teacher—her eyes are sharp, her smile is gentle, her movements are graceful. She offered me herbal tea, said to “clear negative energy.”
I drink. Five minutes later, the world started turning around, my body was really weak, then I fainted.
When I woke up, I was in the middle of a rice field, naked, with strange marks painted on my body, a monkey sitting on my chest making loud noises. My head was racing, I didn’t remember anything… but strangely, suddenly I could speak Indonesian fluently.
What tea is that, huh?
Suatu hari, gue pergi ke Ubud buat liat sawah dulu, terus ikut kelas yoga. Ubud kan terkenal banget sama yoga, ya?
Di kelas, ada guru cantik banget—matanya tajam, senyumnya lembut, gerakannya anggun. Dia nawarin gue teh herbal, katanya buat “membersihkan energi negatif.”
Gue minum. Lima menit kemudian, dunia mulai muter, badan gue lemes banget, terus gue pingsan.
Pas bangun, gue udah di tengah sawah, telanjang, dengan tanda-tanda aneh dilukis di badan gue. Kepala cenat-cenut, gue nggak inget apa-apa… tapi anehnya, tiba-tiba gue bisa ngomong bahasa Indonesia dengan lancar.
Itu teh apaan, ya?
