I love your ideas and absolutely love seeing your determination to learn a language as you did with Indonesian. I remember all those years ago watching your first videos and being struck by your near-native Indonesian accent. NOT EASY TO DO for someone who didn't grow up in this country. Salut mbak Sasa! Salam kenal ya aku Dave dari Surabaya...salah satu fansmu dan aku belajar banyak dari video2mu sampai sekarang mencoba bikin videoku sendiri, dengan ciri khas bahasa Suroboyoan. Keep up your awesome work! Thanks for creating such awesome content for so many of us to enjoy.
I learn alot from both of your videos - i live in Banyuwangi 1 year and was making music videos in Osing and singing all the sings with the music artists - and i had to translate backwards after memorising and translate back Osing - java -- indo - english ... it was ... alot!!!! but so fun. Nothing like mu first concert 5000 people maybe, MC speaking to me and i had no clue what he was saying

Steps: 1. Buy reading books for kids 2. Find the words that appear most 3. Write down to paper and memorize it 10-20 words per day 4. 3 months, you get 900-1800 words 5. No bule conversation, just with drivers sellers from native Indonesian 6. When they feel awkward take a mental note of it, don't repeat the same mistake 7. Listen a lot to indonesian music that you like, find more words! 8. Just talks and keep talking. You'll be able to speak functionally.. 9. 1 year keep doing this you'll be fluent and fix your accents 10. Find words that make you have bad accents and try to mimic native speaker GOOD LUCK!
>9. 1 year keep doing this you'll be fluent and fix your accents You can't say that. It should be "fix your accent". You'll have to focus more on English before learning Indonesian.
Majalah Bobo aslinya dari Belanda lho.. di Belanda pertama kali terbit tahun 1968, dan pada tahun 1973, Kompas bekerjasama dengan Bobo Belanda, dan pengasuh halaman anak-anak pada harian Kompas pun membuat Majalah Bobo Indonesia dan pertama kali terbit pada 14 April 1973. #themoreyouknow
Sacha, this is so practical and realistic. Your video here really fires up motivation for second-language acquisition! This can become tedious and extremely time-consuming, but how would feel about more videos like this?
11:49 You know I'm pretty sure some Indonesians still don't know that the word 'dadah' or 'dah' (bye-bye) is actually from the Dutch word 'daag' (pronounced dakh) And also the other words like handoek (towel), kantoor (office), klas/klasse (class), etc
"It's not for children. It's for you." That's got to be my favorite part of the video! I love watching shows for kids and reading books for children when it comes to learning languages!
Sacha! Video ini lucu karena setiup hari aku belajar bahasa Indonesia menggunakan video2 kamu! Aku nonton video seperti ini dan menulis kata2 baru yg aku belum tahu di buku tulisku. Aku berlatih kata2 baru ini dengan bercakap-cakap dengan sendiri dan menulis kalimat. makasih guru Sacha! Love from Australia
Ouaou..... it's amazing!!! I'm malagasy people ( from madagascar East of South Africa,) a see that our language and this language have a big similar!!! ( i know, it's normal because our ancestors are from Indonesia and Malaysia), but it's a big proof for me!!! Thank you so much for this video
Thanks Sacha! I'm such a fan of your videos. I'm married to an Indonesian here in the states and I really want to learn Bahasa Indonesian as we go back to Indo to see his family every now and then and I want to be able to converse with his family more and not just be a typical bule. Not that he helps me with it too much. I think he like being able to talk with his family and me not know what he's saying all the time... yet more reason to learn Indo... >:-D
Pronunciation in Bahasa is "pelafalan", not spelling. Haha. I loved your videos Sacha! Video-videonya sangat membantu publikasi Indonesia, dan bahkan kadang ngingetin balik kalau banyak hal yang membanggakan dari negeri sendiri yang bahkan kita sendiri suka lupa. Wkwkwkwk
Iya, nasihat gimana belajar bahasa baru betul. Saya juga belajar bahasa asing kaya gitu. TAPI-sama bahasa Indonesia hati2, gara2 kalau pake sumber resmi, kaya buku pelajaran Bahasa Indonesia, seringkali diajarin bahasa baku aja, dan masih ngak bisa ngerti bahasa sehari-hari yg di pake oleh 95% masyarakat dalam kehidupan harian, kan? Masih susah mulai gimana ngobrol dan ngerti bahasa sehari-hari, dan lu tahu gimana banyak kata2 gaul juga dipake dalam obrolan lumrah, ya? Jadi, saya usulin cari sumber di beberapa laman internet sama daftar kata2 gaul, atau coba baca blog2 yg ditulis sama kata2 gaul biar belajar gimana ngomong lebih kaya sehari-hari, ataupun pasti bakal suara kaya bule, sama atau tanpa logat, ya? Namun, saya manhargai banyak nonton tayangan Sacha-baik buat geli maupun sebagai sumber obrolan biasa, jadi mau ucapkan terimakasih atas video2 kaya gini-I've found them very very helpful. Terutamanya karena saya lagi belajar gimana ngomon bahasa Indo di AS dan ngak punya sempat latihan banyak di sisi dunia sini. Jadi makasih banyak, dan jaga bikin your thing there, ya?
if you want to be sound like a native Indonesian, trying to use only the root words in conversation. Indonesian people most of the time using the root words, not affixational words.
Great tips! If one is into reading the Bible they could also get an Indonesian Bible and the audio version to practice with. Both are available for free online or as apps.
bandejamontañera i dont think steven baxter is a muslim name 🤔 and if he is a real muslim then he got our teachings wrong. Because We as a muslim have to respect other religions
This is super encouraging! I get so overwhelmed when learning languages sometimes. It doesn't come easily to me but usually my interest is enough to keep me at it; however, when it gets overwhelming, breaking it down into manageable parts like this is so nice.
Kesimpulannya, Bahasa Indonesia sangat mudah dipelajari dan seharusnya dijadikan Bahasa Resmi seluruh dunia. Karena ini bahasa Rakyat, tidak memandang siapa pun anda, semakin anda ingin mendekat ke bahasa Indonesia, maka semakin terbuka lebar anda untuk bisa memahaminya, TANPA pernah meremehkan anda yang belum fasih berucap bahasa Indonesia. Kenapa bahasa Inggris harus ditinggalkan..?? Karena Bahasa Inggris membawa aura kesombongan, terlalu mengeklusifkan sebagai bahasa baku, dan di negara anda tidak ada yang SUKA RELA untuk mengajarkan bahasa Inggris, tetapi harus belajar sendiri, karena bagi anda waktu sangat berharga, dan tidak akan membuang percuma. Tapi bagi anda yang ingin belajar bahasa Indonesia, kami punya banyak waktu dan mengajarkan anda dengan tekun, sampai anda bisa. JADI TINGGALKANLAH BAHASA INGGRIS.
Thank you for the tips. I'm American and I'm currently living in Jakarta. I been here since July, and I been dependent on my Indonesian speaking wife. I'm now tired on depending on her so I'm now motivated to learn Bahasa on my own!
Menurut saya aksen Bahasa Indonesia Sacha adalah perpaduan antara aksen Bule dan Sunda. Mungkin karena Sacha banyak belajar Bahasa Indonesia sama tukang, ibu warung, sopir, dll. (orang-orang yang kebetulan aksen kedaerahannya kental) dan kebetulan Sacha tinggal di Jawa Barat. Memang tidak ada satu pun aksen Bahasa Indonesia yang otentik. Tapi kalau Sacha ingin aksen yang "dianggap normal" dan "baku", amatilah aksen-aksen yang dimiliki para pembaca berita.
I love Sacha's accent, don't change girl! That's called : Original, tidak dibuat buat, and honestly, sacha we love you, because you are so hilarious yet authentic. Don't train your accent to be like a news caster, cos later no one is gonna watch your channel 😂
she still sounds like a bule anyway. best bule with best Indonesian is Nick from Australia. he has a cooking channel on UA-cam. he's accent is 100% perfect Jakartan accent.
I'm agree with you Sacha.. Sometimes prefix-suffix system in Indonesian is kinda random and complicated.. I can never explain to foreigners how to use them properly because me myself learn to use those from daily conversation, not because I try to understand why we should use me-, meng-, ber-, -i, -kan, etc. And even me myself as Indonesian never really know exactly how many combination of prefix-suffix could be use for creating new words, it's too many, last time I was trying to figure it out, it's like more than 100 combination So it's like, I speak Indonesian not because I understand the system of the language, but because everybody spoke it, so I follow the root and as the times goes by, I got to used to the language
I am a french speaker who is planning to move to indonesia soonly. Watching your video make me: -improving my english -improving bahasa -learning really important tips -gaining self confidence in my capacity of learning +1 sub
These are such good hints! I used to learn Arabic this way. Starting with children's book, writing 10 words a day from the books and children short movies and looking up the meaning, and reviewing them daily. Later on I'd do the same with Arabic news and national geographic in Arabic, to learn more complicated words and sentence structures. Then buying Arabic books for adults about subjects I really like. It was only after 12 years that I finally met Classical Arabic speaking people (I went to Morrocco) to have Arabic conversation with, and they didn't even know I wasn't Arab, they thought I was Syrian haha!
Bangga dengan sacha dan bangsa Indonesia.. Tatkala kami rakyat Malaysia sibuk menjadi orang Inggeris,, sacha sibuk berbahasa Indonesia.. Di Malaysia tak ada komik untuk anak anak belajar Bahasa
Aina Khairunnisa. Pertama nak tanya yang awak tiba tiba mengamuk di komen ini mengapa?? Adakah komen saya itu kena pada awak?saya komen berdasarkan senario semasa majoriti rakyat Malaysia. Buka sahaja saluran tv terutama berita dan awak sendiri akan saksikan rakyat malaysia majoritinya bangga berbahasa inggeris meskipun soalan diajukan oleh pemberita dalam bahasa Malaysia. Dari menteri hinggalah pelajar cemerlang spm. Mereka selesa berbahasa inggeris.. Buat video pun kadang kadang lebih selesa berbahasa inggeris macam king koko tu. Artis malaysia sendiri pernah menyatakan i sound like stupid if i speak in Malay dalam satu acara anugerah media.. Memang saya akui bahasa inggeris bahasa dunia dan bahasa pengetahuan. Scha sendiri dah buat video perbandingan carian di google bahasa indonesia dengan bahasa inggeris. Soal yang saya tekankan kenapa harus malu berbahasa Malaysia. Cuba lihat rakyat indonesia. Dari scha yang berbangsa inggeris hinggalah Ahok yang berbangsa cina. Mereka tetap berbahasa indonesia walaupun boleh berbahasa inggeris. Yang saya tekankan di sini adalah jati diri dan bangga dengan bahasa ibunda. Perkara inilah yang ditekankan oleh dato seri rais yatim. Majalah? Baca fakta dulu puan. Komik bobo tu diterbitkan bekas penjajah belanda dengan kerjasama indonesia yang lebih menjurus kepada penggunaan bahasa indonesia. Komik malaysia lebih kepada lawak jenaka ataupun unsur agama. Komik upin ipin pun lebih kepada unsur hiburan. Untuk pengetahuan puan juga scha dah boleh berbahasa indonesia sebelum lagi berkahwin dengan suaminnya. Waktu tu dia menjadi guru bahasa inggeris. Sebab tula nak marah orang jangan lajak dari laju
Other than HTAI, I really love this episode so far. You learned a new language in the simplest way that probably some people never think of before. I am really glad I watch this video today, I've been struggling in mastering English conversation here in the US. It's been 4 months since I've moved here, and it's still rusty as hell. Thank you, Sasha. Terus bikin video kayak gini ya. Sehat selalu.
Your method of learning Indonesian obviously worked really well. Thanks for the tips! I love listening to you speak Indo. I am blown away by how authentic you sound and how you roll the "r" sound. How did you learn to roll this sound? Very tricky for a bule
I strongly disliked this part. It's so disrespectful, like Americans can be stolen from but others not. That's not the rule, that's stupid. She also had other statements that shed a negative light on foreigners (even though she is a foreigner herself). This kind of attitude from self-loathing westerners has become really tiresome.
Seriously, you're amazing. Aku bener2 kagum banget sama tekad Sacha dalam ngelakuin sesuatu, entah belajar Bahasa Indonesia atau menjaga badan bugar selama kehamilan. Butuh disiplin diri yang tinggi dan ini nggak gampang dilakukan..
Sarah, thanks a lot! I've been teaching myself to learn bahasa but I got so great tips! I hope to be fluent soon ☺️ love your channel and you inspired me to become a better person here in Indonesia, one of the greatest things to do when I feel like "tired of this place" is watching you to smile about all the problems again 😅❤️
Nice Video Ms.Sacha, Our language is the reflection of ourselves. A language is an exact reflection of the character and growth of its speakers. Selamat Belajar Berbahasa.
Sedikit koreksi Sacha. Padanan "spelling" dalam bahasa Indonesia adalah "pengejaan" sementara "pronounciation" itu "pelafalan". Aku pikir mayoritas orang Indonesia tahu ini, tapi memang jarang dipakai dan (sayangnya) versi keminggris (Englosnesian) yang salah kaprah itu yang justru sering dipakai ("spelling" sebagai "pelafalan"). Mengenai perbedaan akhiran -kan dan akhiran -i, ini lebih ke urusan tata bahasa/gramatikal. Dan memang kedua akhiran ini rumit (saya yakin orang Indonesia pun banyak yang tidak paham kalau ditanyai). Perlu pembelajaran panjang untuk paham penggunaan dua akhiran tersebut. Dua-duanya punya banyak fungsi, salah satu fungsinya, misalnya sebagai untuk membentuk kalimat imperatif (imperative form), atau kalimat perintah. Masukkan buku ke dalam lemari! Masuki kucing itu ke dalam rumah! Dua-duanya betul. Perbedaan antar amasukkan dan masuki ada di apa yang mau kamu tekankan (emphasized) dalam kalimat perintahmu. Di kalimat pertama (dengan akhiran -kan), kamu lebih menekankan pada aksi/perbuatan, sementara di kalimat kedua (dengan akhiran -i) kamu lebih menekankan pada lokasi/tempat/tujuan/sasaran dari perintahmu. Aksi dan sasaran. Itu salah satu perbedaannya. Dalam kalimat indikatif (indicative) misalnya: Suatu jin sudah memasuki tubuh laki-laki itu (A ginie has possesed the man): Kamu lebih menekankan pada sasaran, yaitu tubuh si laki-laki itu. Saya (sedang) memasukkan buku ke dalam tas (I am putting my book into the bag): Kamu lebih menekankan pada aksi memasukkan buku. Masih banyak perbedaan lain, dan saya aku memahami imbuhan/akhiran dalam tata bahasa Indonesia bisa sama panjang dan pusingnya dengan memahami tenses dalam bahasa Inggris (terutama karena bahasa Indonesia lebih mengedepankan penekanan daripada konteks waktu dalam kalimat, yang mungkin akan membingungankan orang asing yang sudah terbiasa dengan tenses).
I think I'm going to try this! They have Bobo online, so perhaps I can purchase them in Canada...big fan from Saskatchewan. terima kasih..saya harap baik saya ke Kanada sekarang :)
These are really helpful and practical tips to learn not just Indonesian I think but any second languages! I'm fluent in Indonesian and English and I'm now pretty functional in Spanish (if I got stranded somewhere in Spanish-speaking countries, I can probably still get by, even Portuguese if we all talk slowly), and I've also been working on French. I know the mechanics of some other languages like Mandarin and German but I only have little vocabulary. And German grammar is pretty hard. Tackling accent problem is not that hard for me. The problem for me is actually isolating a certain dialect/accent. My English accent is a well mix of general North American/New England/South Britain/Scottish (with soft Ts but somehow rhotic R) and my Spanish accent is apparently a mix of Mexican/Puerto Rican/Cuban/Spanish (well for Spanish is probably because I use North Spanish vocabs and pronunciation). But really repeating what native speakers say would help a lot. My Spanish teacher in college for example sounds like Venezuelan and has been asked a lot whether or not she is from Venezuela, but apparently nope she's a very Irish lady from the midwest. By the way, "your spelling is your pronunciation", this means Indonesian is a phonetic language (a strictly phonetic one really). This means every letter (and diphthong) (grapheme) only one corresponding sound (phoneme) and vice versa. Included in this category would be, with some really few exceptions: Russian, Spanish, German. A lot of languages were also highly phonetic but then have undergone simplifications in pronunciation, with old spellings kept for historical reasons, like Czech, Polish, and Greek. Believe it or not, English was also once a highly phonetic language as well because of it's Germanic and Norse roots, but supposedly changed especially after French influence came in.
Bagus banget tipsnya wk, dulu majalah bobo jadi temen boker wk. Aku juga lagi belajar bahasa asing, bahasa itali (karena pronounciationnya ga beda jauh sama bahasa indonesia wk), dan aku berhenti soalnya aku ngerasa cara belajar bahasa di dalem kelas itu kurang efektif, paling enggak harus ngebiasain diri dulu kan denger bahasanya, nah aku kurang sumber di situ, film film itali kebanyakan not my type lah wk, lagunya sih aku suka beberapa tapi dikit banget (dan let it go versi itali masuk ke list ini wkwk). kalo gitu gimana ya? secara aku sekarang hidup di tanah sunda tapi populasi orang yg ngomong sunda di kampus sama yg ngomong jawa di kampus banyakan jawanya wk. Anyway: me + kata dasar berawalan K, T, S, P, awalannya jadi lebur (bukan mempelajari tapi memelajari, bukan mentulis tapi menulis, bukan memperhatikan tapi memerhatikan, dan sejenisnya) dengan pengecualian kata dasar yg awalannya K,T,S,P itu diikuti huruf konsonan lagi (bukan mengritik tapi mengkritik, dan sejenisnya).
I did sort of the same way :P was learning 100-200 words a day my first 4 month in indonesia (no job or much to call a lifeback then), then I only hanged out with locals and until now I have nooo bule friends :( would like to have that too so I could practice my english too and talk about things that are weird here in a bule perspective, eventhou I love my indofriends. The coolest people I ever met ❤️❤️
@@chrisgrudge6964 still learning 😉 but I started to be able to small talk and ”survive” after say a 5-6 months :) no real problems with remembering since I had contact with locals every day, and still have since my husband is indonesian :)
I just moved to jakarta 2 months ago from the netherlands and I am not learning that fast so, I will try your methode. See you in 3 months for an update if i don’t forget.
I just came back from indo three days ago from being there for a month and I love your ambition, I wish I saw this a month ago! I listened to a bunch of videos and screened shot some basic stuff and I was super surprised how much I was able to communicate! Bahasa is similar to Hawaiian and I am very happy about not conjugating verbs! You’re amazing btw even with your slight accent.
Great, Sasha! I didn't study like that but I could do it for improve my vocabulary. Anyway I live in Brazil, my speaking practice need to be in Skype or whatsapp haha
I don't speak any Bahasa Indonesia (even after watching your videos for a few months I can only understand a tiny bit, a few words here and there), but I've taught myself a few languages to varying degrees, and I've also taken language classes in university. I'm an academic, and I love schools and universities, but I have so much respect for you and this method of learning a language. I've always been highly impressed with your knowledge and ability with Indonesian, and this only makes me even more respectful. Universities are great places filled with knowledge and cultural exchange, but they can only do so much (and classes are generally expensive to an extent). This method is so real, so immersive, and so much more friendly and fun than classes, and it encourages so much more cultural exchange! Thanks so much for making this video, it's great! :)
Untuk org2 Bule yg baru belajar bhs indonesia, selain mjlh Bobo, lagu2 yg didengar seharusnya lagu anak2 spt lagu Balonku, Pelangi, Bintang kecil dll, krn liriknya sangat simple, mudah dimengerti
belajar bahasa indonesia enaknya nyari teman ngobrol ya sopir bis sama satpam, coba klau kita mau belajar bahasa inggris di luar negeri mana ada yang mau sopir bis dan satpam yang mau diajak ngobrol seharian sama kita
6 year old video! It could have been released yesterday and I wouldn't know the difference! That's how well it has aged. Genius. First thing I'm watching on your channel and I admire your work already!! :))
sacha, im 100% indonesian but i was born and raised in australia - you are so much better than me in bahasa 😂 and oh my god, my cousin owned so many of those bobo magazines when we were still little and i used to struggle understanding it and reading it
The most important message that I get from this video is how much you're eager and willing to learn something. For example, to only hangout with the lower-class locals in an attempt to improve local language skill is quite an effort. But since you love Indonesia so much, those things are most likely easier to do and get done. Good luck to everyone who's currently learning Bahasa Indonesia!
Thank you for creating this video in response to my comment last week Sacha! This is of immense help to me and I will definitely wish to have a conversation with you in Bahasa soon!
I learn alot from both of your videos - i live in Banyuwangi 1 year and was making music videos in Osing and singing all the sings with the music artists - and i had to translate backwards after memorising and translate back Osing - java -- indo - english ... it was ... alot!!!! but so fun. Nothing like mu first concert 5000 people maybe, MC speaking to me and i had no clue what he was saying
I'm Indonesian, and prefixes, suffixes, and affixes are the hardest part of Indonesian language, especially for non-native speakers. That's because there is no definitive rule on the combinations and how they affect the meaning of the root words. It's very different from English where there is a standard rule on how affixes affect the word meanings. The only way to learn the correct combination of Indonesian prefixes and how they are used is to observe and hear them in daily conversation and books.
I'm on my mobile data watching this. That's how much I love ya #sujud 😆😆😆. Btw, believe it or not, I acquired better structure on my first language that is indonesian, as a result of learning english.
aku juga belajar bahasa indonesia sendiri. aku belajar di universitas tapi tidak ada banyak practice karena itu aku belajar sendiri. when i used to live in indonesia i bought me child books too haha and tried to learn it. sekarang aku di jerman dan belajar tentang nonton youtube video, membaca buku (untuk anak2) dan coba memfilmkan (untuk berbicara) dalam bahasa indonesia. i don't have much people or anyone around me who can talk with me. so i usually talk to myself ahahah aduhhh :D makasih untuk video-videomu. aku belajar dengan nonton videomu juga :) makasih ya sacha!
Thank You Sooooo. much Sacha. Really helpful. I wait for your videos with anticipation. This one really helps me. I'm 54. Live in the Gili's, Lombok. Married here to a local for 10 yrs. And still struggle with the language. (too many bule' here).
Hey sascha, actually im your fan. and i think youre my neighboard, i know your house too! if u know my house is the one that has a big clock and usually almost everyday my house used for shooting. is there any chance i can take a photo with you before you leaving jakarta? thanks :D
this is a great video Sacha!very practical and helpful! Terima kasih banyak! i've been married to an Indonesian for more than a year now, but i'm still not fluent in Bahasa. We live overseas and it frustrates me everytime we visit my in-laws, as I can't chat to them much.. 😆
omg Sacha, you even try to fix your accent? Most bule won't even care 'bout that as long as they can speak and understand Indo.. You must be really love Indo haha, or are you just perfectionist? If it's the former then thank you very much for loving this country. Either way, you are awesome and inspiring! I love this "bule aneh"!
Hi Saha, thanks a LOT for your tips, I wanted to learn bahasa badly; it's indeed so beautifu! my level is very low I knew what my balinese friends teached me ..like maybe 80words so far mostly used on daily basis which is eactly what I needed to start, since I discovered this viedeos I decided to follow your method and it works for me! As I'm back again to Bali in june I'm gonna get some Bobo books because not available in my country, I'm also lucky enough that my balinese friends help me a lot on daily basis, I'm definitely committed to improve, pelan-pelan ;) Terima kasih banyak!
i actually collect bobo lol, it's a great magazine, and maybe you kan try like newspaper for kids (?) It's berani i think, i have a lot from my school back then
I'm just learning Indonesian and came across this video in my search. This is a great tip. I have several magazines in Indonesia that I will start doing this with! The only thing I will do differently is the amount. For me personally 10-20 is very overwhelming! I will probably start off with 5 then when I memorize those move on to 5 more. Hopefully I will work up to 10 each time! Thanks for the suggestions.
I learnt pretty much the same way. I'd buy SD books from Gramedia the sd1 had pictures which were great for learning. I still have the book somewhere that I used to write down all the words I was learning. I would translate Peterpan songs and hang around at my friends skater shop where zero English was spoken. Agree after a year I was pretty fluent and understanding full speed Indonesian. Oh and to add pillow talk increased to the speed of learning too ;)
Not only are these tips applicable for learning Bahasa, but also can be used in learning any languages. Definitely will apply your learning hacks to improve my English and Spanish! (especially speaking)
Sapa tuh 1 orang yg nge-dislike? . . Tapi suer deh ini saran paling realistis yg pernah gw temuin di youtube. Bisa buat belajar bahasa selain indonesia juga.
Sacha, amazing video. Thanks for the tips - I might use it for other languages I want to learn. Oh, and speaking about translating songs - check mine out on my youtube channel, few years ago I translated an English language song into a full Bahasa Indonesia lol oops sorry for the shameless promo.
I LOVE YOU SASCHA!!! saya juga lagi susah nih belajar bahasa spanyol. sekarang tinggal di Kolombia dan masih enggak lancar ngomongnya. kayaknya bakal contek metode belajarnya, deh. makasih banyaaaaak!! btw, mungkin kamu mesti latihan ngomong "bobo" karena masih terdengar seperti "bowbow" hihihi
Aksen org2 indonesia sendiri bermacam macam ada org batak yg berbahasa indonesia ,orang sunda atau jawa yang berbahasa indonesia mereka unik dan beda satu sama lain,sacha bule yg berbahasa indonesia dg keunikannya,, keren
Hi Sacha. I've always been envious of your fluent Bahasa, and now I know why. I have one little problem; I'm dyslexic. (I use voice recognition software to leave my remarks/comments, as I do here on you tube) So your method of buying Bobo is not going to work for me. And all the constant reminding from me, to my girlfriend to help me, I still haven't learnt much after all the time I have been in Jakarta. She's too busy wanting to talk to me in English, so she can improve her English skills. And I do take your advice, and I hang out at my local warung, and talk to the Ojek guys for example. But their English is very limited, which makes them trying to translate my English, into Bahasa, for me to learn, very difficult. So my question is, do you have a way of learning Bahasa, without using the written word?? Much appreciated.
Safiyyah Conway Hi Safiyyah. Can you suggest any videos I can watch? When I've seen Indonesian people speak on TV or you tube, they talk very quickly, and it's a little hard to understand them. Sacha's suggestion of buying Bo-bo every week is good. I only wish there is a video version of Bo-bo, or something similar.
Belajar semua bahasa itu tdk mudah, krn diperlukan kesabaran dan daya ingat yg tinggi serta tdk mudah menyerah atau bosan. Saya pernah belajar bahasa inggris 4 bln itupun blm serasa pintar. Saya pernah kuliah di universitas di Washington, bahasa inggris saya mengalir begitu saja tanpa pikir, setelah kembali ke Indonesia malah banyak yg lupa. Pernah belajar bahasa Mandarin krn punya pacar chinesee Malaysia jd bisa tp setelah jd teman biasa, bahasa mandarin saya jd lupa😀.....saya suka semua bahasa tp stlh bisa ga digunakan lagi jd lupa lagi...semoga yg belajar bahasa Indonesia terus berjuang. Actually Indonesian language is a simplest language in the world, theres no irregular verb. The Verb never change just adding "akan" for future tense, "sudah" for past tense and "sedang" for continous tense mudahkan😊 just to know most Indonesian people are helpful if knowing someone wanna learn bahasa Indonesis....follOw Sasha's tips you gonna make it...keep it up brosis 😊🙏
I LOVE BOBO SINCE I WAS KINDERGARTEN.. I SUBSCRIBE TO HIM!! a read both junior and original.. HE HAS 3 SISTER.. YOUNGER SISTER. CORENG, UPIK, CIMUT.. THEY ARE SO COOL AND GIVING ME A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE... ESPECIALLY, THE STORIES AND "OUR ENGLISH PAGE" Bobo was already publish in 1973.. i kinda looks ugly but i appreciate it... so far, i was 6th grade now and i still read it! LOve You SACHA!!!
aku senang aku bisa bilang yang karena aku orang turki/german xD dan "a" seperti "a" dalam bahasa indonesia. might be one of the only words i can pronounce HAHAHA
Eh, yg mana lebih bener buat "Pronounciation", "pengucapan" atau "lafal/pelafalan"? Mungkin terjemahan dari dua kata itu lebih kaya "speech" dan "Pronounciation" dalam inggeris, kan?
selamat malam mba sacha semua video yang anda buat sangat berguna dan bermanfaat untuk mengenalkan semua tentang indonesia di mata dunia, saya sangat senang dengan hal itu, saya pada awalnya penasaran ketika searching di youtube dan menemukan video anda yang sangat unik yang berjudul beruntung menjadi orang indonesia, dimulai dari hal itu saya jadi ketagihan untuk menonton semua video yang anda buat itu membuat saya semakin melek dengan negara ini, saya senang bahwa masih ada orang seperti anda yang perduli akan bangsa indonesia itu membuat saya berfikir bahwa sesungguhnya anda adalah orang yang memiliki jiwa indonesia, kita berarti saudara satu tanah air tanah air indonesia, video yang anda buat menambah kecintaan saya terhadap bangsa indonesia, saya tidak ragu dan tidak pesimis bahwa memang benar adanya dengan sekian banyak kekayaan alam indonesia suatu saat nanti indonesia akan menjadi bangsa yang maju dan berjaya, saya percaya bahwa sebenarnya jiwa anda adalah jiwa merah putih, meski anda terlahir tidak di indonesia, tuhan yang maha kuasa dengan segala kehendaknya mentakdirkan anda untuk datang dan berjodoh di negri tercinta ini, saya berharap suatu saat nanti bisa bertemu dengan anda mengobrol, dan sharing, bila tuhan yang maha kuasa berkehendak, saya sangat berterimakasih, saya menunggu semua hal yang baru dari video anda, ini sedikit pesan dari saya ASEP SOLICHIN Tampilkan lebih sedikit
"Jangan ketemu sama middle class orang Indonesia, mereka maunya improve bahasa Inggris mereka" hahaha.. bener banget..
Jangan ketemu semua org2x indonesia yang bisa berbahasa inggris.
Who is middle class?
I love your ideas and absolutely love seeing your determination to learn a language as you did with Indonesian. I remember all those years ago watching your first videos and being struck by your near-native Indonesian accent. NOT EASY TO DO for someone who didn't grow up in this country. Salut mbak Sasa! Salam kenal ya aku Dave dari Surabaya...salah satu fansmu dan aku belajar banyak dari video2mu sampai sekarang mencoba bikin videoku sendiri, dengan ciri khas bahasa Suroboyoan. Keep up your awesome work! Thanks for creating such awesome content for so many of us to enjoy.
Londokampung km bisa bahasa inggris?? 😨😨😨
Calon Hokage lah diakan native jelas dia bisa.
Calon Hokage impossible if natives forgot their cultures
I learn alot from both of your videos - i live in Banyuwangi 1 year and was making music videos in Osing and singing all the sings with the music artists - and i had to translate backwards after memorising and translate back Osing - java -- indo - english ... it was ... alot!!!! but so fun.

Steps:
1. Buy reading books for kids
2. Find the words that appear most
3. Write down to paper and memorize it 10-20 words per day
4. 3 months, you get 900-1800 words
5. No bule conversation, just with drivers sellers from native Indonesian
6. When they feel awkward take a mental note of it, don't repeat the same mistake
7. Listen a lot to indonesian music that you like, find more words!
8. Just talks and keep talking. You'll be able to speak functionally..
9. 1 year keep doing this you'll be fluent and fix your accents
10. Find words that make you have bad accents and try to mimic native speaker
GOOD LUCK!
>9. 1 year keep doing this you'll be fluent and fix your accents
You can't say that. It should be "fix your accent". You'll have to focus more on English before learning Indonesian.
Majalah Bobo aslinya dari Belanda lho..
di Belanda pertama kali terbit tahun 1968, dan pada tahun 1973, Kompas bekerjasama dengan Bobo Belanda, dan pengasuh halaman anak-anak pada harian Kompas pun membuat Majalah Bobo Indonesia dan pertama kali terbit pada 14 April 1973.

Sacha, this is so practical and realistic. Your video here really fires up motivation for second-language acquisition! This can become tedious and extremely time-consuming, but how would feel about more videos like this?
Damien Lee
Are you doing a survey through sacha's video?.
Mr. Tonedeaf DV no wkwkwk i just find her style incredibly hilarious
your laugh is in indonesian, wkwkwk
I think you are indonesian because your laugh like indonesian (wkwkw)
11:49 You know I'm pretty sure some Indonesians still don't know that the word 'dadah' or 'dah' (bye-bye) is actually from the Dutch word 'daag' (pronounced dakh)
And also the other words like handoek (towel), kantoor (office), klas/klasse (class), etc
mdita67 I am an Indo live in Holland and born in Malang EastJava . i have many family in the States
mdita67 I have also family in Indonesia
ya bahasa indonesia banyak kata serapan
Dulu waktu aku kecil, sering menggunakan kata "dah/dadah" kepada seseorang yang kutinggalkan. tapi sekarang sudah gak lagi
Kata "gratis" (free of charge)pun sama Dutch-Indonesia hahahaha LOL
"It's not for children. It's for you." That's got to be my favorite part of the video! I love watching shows for kids and reading books for children when it comes to learning languages!
Great
I read your comment at the same time she spoke that lmao
Sacha! Video ini lucu karena setiup hari aku belajar bahasa Indonesia menggunakan video2 kamu! Aku nonton video seperti ini dan menulis kata2 baru yg aku belum tahu di buku tulisku. Aku berlatih kata2 baru ini dengan bercakap-cakap dengan sendiri dan menulis kalimat.
makasih guru Sacha!

Ouaou..... it's amazing!!! I'm malagasy people ( from madagascar East of South Africa,) a see that our language and this language have a big similar!!! ( i know, it's normal because our ancestors are from Indonesia and Malaysia), but it's a big proof for me!!!
Thank you so much for this video
Amazing isn't it how we're all connected
malagasy ancestors probably had the biggest ballz in the world these times to cross ocean that far.
Wow, I didn't know the two languages were related. I always wanted to go to Madagascar!
Thanks Sacha! I'm such a fan of your videos. I'm married to an Indonesian here in the states and I really want to learn Bahasa Indonesian as we go back to Indo to see his family every now and then and I want to be able to converse with his family more and not just be a typical bule. Not that he helps me with it too much. I think he like being able to talk with his family and me not know what he's saying all the time... yet more reason to learn Indo... >:-D
Matteo Smith sorry but do you, he married he?
If rights, owhh.. you guys so so sweet 😍
But sory if i wrong
Be careful, once you learn Bahasa Indonesia your spouse and his family will probably switch to a local language like Javanese or Sundanese lol
Wah. Wes... Angel.... Angel...
Apakah sekarang sudah bisa bahasa Indonesia?
Pronunciation in Bahasa is "pelafalan", not spelling. Haha. I loved your videos Sacha! Video-videonya sangat membantu publikasi Indonesia, dan bahkan kadang ngingetin balik kalau banyak hal yang membanggakan dari negeri sendiri yang bahkan kita sendiri suka lupa. Wkwkwkwk
Muhammad Iqbal Maksud di video itu kalau ejaan dengan pelafalan di Bahasa Indonesia itu sama, tidak sepeti pada bahasa Inggris, "use" dibaca "yus".
Iya, nasihat gimana belajar bahasa baru betul. Saya juga belajar bahasa asing kaya gitu. TAPI-sama bahasa Indonesia hati2, gara2 kalau pake sumber resmi, kaya buku pelajaran Bahasa Indonesia, seringkali diajarin bahasa baku aja, dan masih ngak bisa ngerti bahasa sehari-hari yg di pake oleh 95% masyarakat dalam kehidupan harian, kan? Masih susah mulai gimana ngobrol dan ngerti bahasa sehari-hari, dan lu tahu gimana banyak kata2 gaul juga dipake dalam obrolan lumrah, ya? Jadi, saya usulin cari sumber di beberapa laman internet sama daftar kata2 gaul, atau coba baca blog2 yg ditulis sama kata2 gaul biar belajar gimana ngomong lebih kaya sehari-hari, ataupun pasti bakal suara kaya bule, sama atau tanpa logat, ya? Namun, saya manhargai banyak nonton tayangan Sacha-baik buat geli maupun sebagai sumber obrolan biasa, jadi mau ucapkan terimakasih atas video2 kaya gini-I've found them very very helpful. Terutamanya karena saya lagi belajar gimana ngomon bahasa Indo di AS dan ngak punya sempat latihan banyak di sisi dunia sini. Jadi makasih banyak, dan jaga bikin your thing there, ya?
Menhargai*

Bahasa indonesia yang bagus!👍 anda bisa menulis bhs dengan bagus
if you want to be sound like a native Indonesian, trying to use only the root words in conversation. Indonesian people most of the time using the root words, not affixational words.
baik buat geli?..
Great tips! If one is into reading the Bible they could also get an Indonesian Bible and the audio version to practice with. Both are available for free online or as apps.

Steven Baxter, what the hell are you talking about? Stupid troll.
Damn Steven baxter.. is this how islam fucks your brain up so bad, you will be the last to know
Missioners always doing this overcross indonesia
bandejamontañera i dont think steven baxter is a muslim name 🤔 and if he is a real muslim then he got our teachings wrong. Because We as a muslim have to respect other religions
This is super encouraging! I get so overwhelmed when learning languages sometimes. It doesn't come easily to me but usually my interest is enough to keep me at it; however, when it gets overwhelming, breaking it down into manageable parts like this is so nice.
Kesimpulannya, Bahasa Indonesia sangat mudah dipelajari dan seharusnya dijadikan Bahasa Resmi seluruh dunia. Karena ini bahasa Rakyat, tidak memandang siapa pun anda, semakin anda ingin mendekat ke bahasa Indonesia, maka semakin terbuka lebar anda untuk bisa memahaminya, TANPA pernah meremehkan anda yang belum fasih berucap bahasa Indonesia.
Kenapa bahasa Inggris harus ditinggalkan..?? Karena Bahasa Inggris membawa aura kesombongan, terlalu mengeklusifkan sebagai bahasa baku, dan di negara anda tidak ada yang SUKA RELA untuk mengajarkan bahasa Inggris, tetapi harus belajar sendiri, karena bagi anda waktu sangat berharga, dan tidak akan membuang percuma. Tapi bagi anda yang ingin belajar bahasa Indonesia, kami punya banyak waktu dan mengajarkan anda dengan tekun, sampai anda bisa. JADI TINGGALKANLAH BAHASA INGGRIS.
Thank you for the tips. I'm American and I'm currently living in Jakarta. I been here since July, and I been dependent on my Indonesian speaking wife. I'm now tired on depending on her so I'm now motivated to learn Bahasa on my own!
Menurut saya aksen Bahasa Indonesia Sacha adalah perpaduan antara aksen Bule dan Sunda. Mungkin karena Sacha banyak belajar Bahasa Indonesia sama tukang, ibu warung, sopir, dll. (orang-orang yang kebetulan aksen kedaerahannya kental) dan kebetulan Sacha tinggal di Jawa Barat. Memang tidak ada satu pun aksen Bahasa Indonesia yang otentik. Tapi kalau Sacha ingin aksen yang "dianggap normal" dan "baku", amatilah aksen-aksen yang dimiliki para pembaca berita.
Argha Premana iya kak Sacha agak aneh gitu kalo pertama kali denger
I love Sacha's accent, don't change girl! That's called : Original, tidak dibuat buat, and honestly, sacha we love you, because you are so hilarious yet authentic. Don't train your accent to be like a news caster, cos later no one is gonna watch your channel 😂
she still sounds like a bule anyway. best bule with best Indonesian is Nick from Australia. he has a cooking channel on UA-cam. he's accent is 100% perfect Jakartan accent.
@@bisvizstudio1242 nick bapaknya zoey ya? Yang suka masak2 makanan indonesia?
I'm agree with you Sacha.. Sometimes prefix-suffix system in Indonesian is kinda random and complicated.. I can never explain to foreigners how to use them properly because me myself learn to use those from daily conversation, not because I try to understand why we should use me-, meng-, ber-, -i, -kan, etc. And even me myself as Indonesian never really know exactly how many combination of prefix-suffix could be use for creating new words, it's too many, last time I was trying to figure it out, it's like more than 100 combination
So it's like, I speak Indonesian not because I understand the system of the language, but because everybody spoke it, so I follow the root and as the times goes by, I got to used to the language
it's not random at all. i can explain it to you briefly. or you just can watch Langfocus video about Indonesian Language.
Wah harga Bobo sekarang sudah 5x lipat dari dulu terakhir kali saya beli ya.
I am a french speaker who is planning to move to indonesia soonly.
Watching your video make me:
-improving my english
-improving bahasa
-learning really important tips
-gaining self confidence in my capacity of learning

Thanks! Enjoy Indonesia! It's gonna be the ride of your life!
This is so good. I'm moving to Indonesia in 4 days and prepping myself to learn. "NO HANGING OUT WITH THE BULE" 😂😂
These are such good hints! I used to learn Arabic this way. Starting with children's book, writing 10 words a day from the books and children short movies and looking up the meaning, and reviewing them daily. Later on I'd do the same with Arabic news and national geographic in Arabic, to learn more complicated words and sentence structures. Then buying Arabic books for adults about subjects I really like. It was only after 12 years that I finally met Classical Arabic speaking people (I went to Morrocco) to have Arabic conversation with, and they didn't even know I wasn't Arab, they thought I was Syrian haha!
Bangga dengan sacha dan bangsa Indonesia.. Tatkala kami rakyat Malaysia sibuk menjadi orang Inggeris,, sacha sibuk berbahasa Indonesia.. Di Malaysia tak ada komik untuk anak anak belajar Bahasa
Aina Khairunnisa. Pertama nak tanya yang awak tiba tiba mengamuk di komen ini mengapa?? Adakah komen saya itu kena pada awak?saya komen berdasarkan senario semasa majoriti rakyat Malaysia. Buka sahaja saluran tv terutama berita dan awak sendiri akan saksikan rakyat malaysia majoritinya bangga berbahasa inggeris meskipun soalan diajukan oleh pemberita dalam bahasa Malaysia. Dari menteri hinggalah pelajar cemerlang spm. Mereka selesa berbahasa inggeris.. Buat video pun kadang kadang lebih selesa berbahasa inggeris macam king koko tu. Artis malaysia sendiri pernah menyatakan i sound like stupid if i speak in Malay dalam satu acara anugerah media.. Memang saya akui bahasa inggeris bahasa dunia dan bahasa pengetahuan. Scha sendiri dah buat video perbandingan carian di google bahasa indonesia dengan bahasa inggeris. Soal yang saya tekankan kenapa harus malu berbahasa Malaysia. Cuba lihat rakyat indonesia. Dari scha yang berbangsa inggeris hinggalah Ahok yang berbangsa cina. Mereka tetap berbahasa indonesia walaupun boleh berbahasa inggeris. Yang saya tekankan di sini adalah jati diri dan bangga dengan bahasa ibunda. Perkara inilah yang ditekankan oleh dato seri rais yatim. Majalah? Baca fakta dulu puan. Komik bobo tu diterbitkan bekas penjajah belanda dengan kerjasama indonesia yang lebih menjurus kepada penggunaan bahasa indonesia. Komik malaysia lebih kepada lawak jenaka ataupun unsur agama. Komik upin ipin pun lebih kepada unsur hiburan. Untuk pengetahuan puan juga scha dah boleh berbahasa indonesia sebelum lagi berkahwin dengan suaminnya. Waktu tu dia menjadi guru bahasa inggeris. Sebab tula nak marah orang jangan lajak dari laju
cuekin aja kalo ada orang tiba2 ngamuk mas :)
Henry Koernia . Terima kasih mas. Ada orang kepanasan bila di komen hal kebagusan indonesia. Harus kita berkata benar meskipun ianya pahit
Mohd Azri dia marah apa lol 😂
Mohd Azri I think she deleted her comment already. 😂
Other than HTAI, I really love this episode so far. You learned a new language in the simplest way that probably some people never think of before. I am really glad I watch this video today, I've been struggling in mastering English conversation here in the US. It's been 4 months since I've moved here, and it's still rusty as hell. Thank you, Sasha.
Terus bikin video kayak gini ya. Sehat selalu.
Hahhaa... Kita rampok dari orang Hollywood doang, jangan dari lokal. NICE !
ahaha
swizeus quote of the day wkwk
swizeus 😂😂😂😂
nice provocation maksudnya? wkwkwk...
Gw yakin maksud mpak Sasca itu satir.
Your method of learning Indonesian obviously worked really well. Thanks for the tips! I love listening to you speak Indo. I am blown away by how authentic you sound and how you roll the "r" sound. How did you learn to roll this sound? Very tricky for a bule
when she said jangan rampok local, cukup Hollywood. thts totally cool 😂😂
Marchsevent dumeda gw juga ngakak dengernya 😂😂😂
Marchsevent dumeda thats the rule....hahaha
ngakak jg
I strongly disliked this part. It's so disrespectful, like Americans can be stolen from but others not. That's not the rule, that's stupid. She also had other statements that shed a negative light on foreigners (even though she is a foreigner herself). This kind of attitude from self-loathing westerners has become really tiresome.
Marchsevent dumeda wkwkwk
@@personalbranddata it is satire. She did a lot of satire comedy about indonesian.
Seriously, you're amazing. Aku bener2 kagum banget sama tekad Sacha dalam ngelakuin sesuatu, entah belajar Bahasa Indonesia atau menjaga badan bugar selama kehamilan. Butuh disiplin diri yang tinggi dan ini nggak gampang dilakukan..
Sarah, thanks a lot! I've been teaching myself to learn bahasa but I got so great tips! I hope to be fluent soon ☺️ love your channel and you inspired me to become a better person here in Indonesia, one of the greatest things to do when I feel like "tired of this place" is watching you to smile about all the problems again 😅❤️
Who's Sarah ??
Izabela Dantas saya bisa bantu anda belajar Bahasa, karena saya native
ARMYYYY i checked your channel thats why
Halo izabela.
Apakah kamu yang pernah tampil di videonya felipè valdes ?

Nice Video Ms.Sacha,
Our language is the reflection of ourselves. A language is an exact reflection of the character and growth of its speakers. Selamat Belajar Berbahasa.

D'you speak German?
Sedikit koreksi Sacha. Padanan "spelling" dalam bahasa Indonesia adalah "pengejaan" sementara "pronounciation" itu "pelafalan". Aku pikir mayoritas orang Indonesia tahu ini, tapi memang jarang dipakai dan (sayangnya) versi keminggris (Englosnesian) yang salah kaprah itu yang justru sering dipakai ("spelling" sebagai "pelafalan").
Mengenai perbedaan akhiran -kan dan akhiran -i, ini lebih ke urusan tata bahasa/gramatikal. Dan memang kedua akhiran ini rumit (saya yakin orang Indonesia pun banyak yang tidak paham kalau ditanyai). Perlu pembelajaran panjang untuk paham penggunaan dua akhiran tersebut. Dua-duanya punya banyak fungsi, salah satu fungsinya, misalnya sebagai untuk membentuk kalimat imperatif (imperative form), atau kalimat perintah.
Masukkan buku ke dalam lemari!
Masuki kucing itu ke dalam rumah!
Dua-duanya betul. Perbedaan antar amasukkan dan masuki ada di apa yang mau kamu tekankan (emphasized) dalam kalimat perintahmu. Di kalimat pertama (dengan akhiran -kan), kamu lebih menekankan pada aksi/perbuatan, sementara di kalimat kedua (dengan akhiran -i) kamu lebih menekankan pada lokasi/tempat/tujuan/sasaran dari perintahmu. Aksi dan sasaran. Itu salah satu perbedaannya.
Dalam kalimat indikatif (indicative) misalnya:
Suatu jin sudah memasuki tubuh laki-laki itu (A ginie has possesed the man): Kamu lebih menekankan pada sasaran, yaitu tubuh si laki-laki itu.
Saya (sedang) memasukkan buku ke dalam tas (I am putting my book into the bag): Kamu lebih menekankan pada aksi memasukkan buku.
Masih banyak perbedaan lain, dan saya aku memahami imbuhan/akhiran dalam tata bahasa Indonesia bisa sama panjang dan pusingnya dengan memahami tenses dalam bahasa Inggris (terutama karena bahasa Indonesia lebih mengedepankan penekanan daripada konteks waktu dalam kalimat, yang mungkin akan membingungankan orang asing yang sudah terbiasa dengan tenses).
I think I'm going to try this! They have Bobo online, so perhaps I can purchase them in Canada...big fan from Saskatchewan. terima kasih..saya harap baik saya ke Kanada sekarang :)
Sasha, I love your videos!
Greetings from Amsterdam. 😀
These are really helpful and practical tips to learn not just Indonesian I think but any second languages! I'm fluent in Indonesian and English and I'm now pretty functional in Spanish (if I got stranded somewhere in Spanish-speaking countries, I can probably still get by, even Portuguese if we all talk slowly), and I've also been working on French. I know the mechanics of some other languages like Mandarin and German but I only have little vocabulary. And German grammar is pretty hard.
Tackling accent problem is not that hard for me. The problem for me is actually isolating a certain dialect/accent. My English accent is a well mix of general North American/New England/South Britain/Scottish (with soft Ts but somehow rhotic R) and my Spanish accent is apparently a mix of Mexican/Puerto Rican/Cuban/Spanish (well for Spanish is probably because I use North Spanish vocabs and pronunciation). But really repeating what native speakers say would help a lot. My Spanish teacher in college for example sounds like Venezuelan and has been asked a lot whether or not she is from Venezuela, but apparently nope she's a very Irish lady from the midwest.
By the way, "your spelling is your pronunciation", this means Indonesian is a phonetic language (a strictly phonetic one really). This means every letter (and diphthong) (grapheme) only one corresponding sound (phoneme) and vice versa. Included in this category would be, with some really few exceptions: Russian, Spanish, German. A lot of languages were also highly phonetic but then have undergone simplifications in pronunciation, with old spellings kept for historical reasons, like Czech, Polish, and Greek. Believe it or not, English was also once a highly phonetic language as well because of it's Germanic and Norse roots, but supposedly changed especially after French influence came in.
Bagus banget tipsnya wk, dulu majalah bobo jadi temen boker wk.
Aku juga lagi belajar bahasa asing, bahasa itali (karena pronounciationnya ga beda jauh sama bahasa indonesia wk), dan aku berhenti soalnya aku ngerasa cara belajar bahasa di dalem kelas itu kurang efektif, paling enggak harus ngebiasain diri dulu kan denger bahasanya, nah aku kurang sumber di situ, film film itali kebanyakan not my type lah wk, lagunya sih aku suka beberapa tapi dikit banget (dan let it go versi itali masuk ke list ini wkwk). kalo gitu gimana ya? secara aku sekarang hidup di tanah sunda tapi populasi orang yg ngomong sunda di kampus sama yg ngomong jawa di kampus banyakan jawanya wk.
Anyway: me + kata dasar berawalan K, T, S, P, awalannya jadi lebur (bukan mempelajari tapi memelajari, bukan mentulis tapi menulis, bukan memperhatikan tapi memerhatikan, dan sejenisnya) dengan pengecualian kata dasar yg awalannya K,T,S,P itu diikuti huruf konsonan lagi (bukan mengritik tapi mengkritik, dan sejenisnya).
saya sangat suka channel ini karena saya juga ikt belajar bhs inggris dengan mendengarkan anda berbicara
I did sort of the same way :P was learning 100-200 words a day my first 4 month in indonesia (no job or much to call a lifeback then), then I only hanged out with locals and until now I have nooo bule friends :( would like to have that too so I could practice my english too and talk about things that are weird here in a bule perspective, eventhou I love my indofriends. The coolest people I ever met ❤️❤️
100-200 words a day? How long did it take you to speak indonesian? Were you having problems remembering the vocabulary?
@@chrisgrudge6964 still learning 😉 but I started to be able to small talk and ”survive” after say a 5-6 months :) no real problems with remembering since I had contact with locals every day, and still have since my husband is indonesian :)
😭😭😭😭🥺🥺thank so much for this video
I have been learning indonesian in indonesia for 3 month now and my Bahasa is tooooo bad 😭😭😭I will try your method
I just moved to jakarta 2 months ago from the netherlands and I am not learning that fast so, I will try your methode. See you in 3 months for an update if i don’t forget.
bagaimana sekarang?
I just came back from indo three days ago from being there for a month and I love your ambition, I wish I saw this a month ago! I listened to a bunch of videos and screened shot some basic stuff and I was super surprised how much I was able to communicate! Bahasa is similar to Hawaiian and I am very happy about not conjugating verbs!
You’re amazing btw even with your slight accent.
Great, Sasha! I didn't study like that but I could do it for improve my vocabulary. Anyway I live in Brazil, my speaking practice need to be in Skype or whatsapp haha
I don't speak any Bahasa Indonesia (even after watching your videos for a few months I can only understand a tiny bit, a few words here and there), but I've taught myself a few languages to varying degrees, and I've also taken language classes in university. I'm an academic, and I love schools and universities, but I have so much respect for you and this method of learning a language. I've always been highly impressed with your knowledge and ability with Indonesian, and this only makes me even more respectful. Universities are great places filled with knowledge and cultural exchange, but they can only do so much (and classes are generally expensive to an extent). This method is so real, so immersive, and so much more friendly and fun than classes, and it encourages so much more cultural exchange! Thanks so much for making this video, it's great! :)
Thanks Sasha,Iam still learning,i like this.Thanks for sharing.
Stephen Sparks wish you luck!
Thank you!!!!!1
good luck
Untuk org2 Bule yg baru belajar bhs indonesia, selain mjlh Bobo, lagu2 yg didengar seharusnya lagu anak2 spt lagu Balonku, Pelangi, Bintang kecil dll, krn liriknya sangat simple, mudah dimengerti
belajar bahasa indonesia enaknya nyari teman ngobrol ya sopir bis sama satpam, coba klau kita mau belajar bahasa inggris di luar negeri mana ada yang mau sopir bis dan satpam yang mau diajak ngobrol seharian sama kita
Itu bagusnya sikap orang Indonesia. Tidak memandang jabatan, semua bisa ngobrol tanpa kikuk
6 year old video! It could have been released yesterday and I wouldn't know the difference! That's how well it has aged. Genius. First thing I'm watching on your channel and I admire your work already!! :))
"biar ada banyak bule aneh kayak aku."
My new strategy for learning Bahasa Indonesia! Makasih banyak bak!
i think these steps can be applied to learn other languages too. good vid!
sacha, im 100% indonesian but i was born and raised in australia - you are so much better than me in bahasa 😂 and oh my god, my cousin owned so many of those bobo magazines when we were still little and i used to struggle understanding it and reading it
i did..i shared your video to my bule's friend :) keep it up neng...
"Di mana ada kemauan, di situ ada jalan." That's will always be my favorite Indonesian proverb in learning foreign languages.
MrLovemata Jr
you are so goddamn dark
Fun Fact: According to Wikipedia, Bobo is a Dutch magazine. Not Indonesian.
My childhood was a lie...
Also, he is 9 years old and not aging apparently
Salam! Saya suka Indonesia dan orang-orang Indonesia. Saya belajar Bahasa Indonesia di rumah untuk hampir 1.5 bulan sekarang. :) Luar biasa video ini.
The most important message that I get from this video is how much you're eager and willing to learn something. For example, to only hangout with the lower-class locals in an attempt to improve local language skill is quite an effort. But since you love Indonesia so much, those things are most likely easier to do and get done. Good luck to everyone who's currently learning Bahasa Indonesia!
Thank you for creating this video in response to my comment last week Sacha! This is of immense help to me and I will definitely wish to have a conversation with you in Bahasa soon!
Aku harus membeli BOBO ^^'
Mas Bas - Bule Perancis when You are in Indonesia, remind me to give another one... :)

I learn alot from both of your videos - i live in Banyuwangi 1 year and was making music videos in Osing and singing all the sings with the music artists - and i had to translate backwards after memorising and translate back Osing - java -- indo - english ... it was ... alot!!!! but so fun. Nothing like mu first concert 5000 people maybe, MC speaking to me and i had no clue what he was saying
Bagus bagus...
Saya darib Brasil...darib rio de janeiro
Kamu bahasa indonesia Bagus!
I'm Indonesian, and prefixes, suffixes, and affixes are the hardest part of Indonesian language, especially for non-native speakers. That's because there is no definitive rule on the combinations and how they affect the meaning of the root words. It's very different from English where there is a standard rule on how affixes affect the word meanings. The only way to learn the correct combination of Indonesian prefixes and how they are used is to observe and hear them in daily conversation and books.
I'm on my mobile data watching this. That's how much I love ya #sujud 😆😆😆. Btw, believe it or not, I acquired better structure on my first language that is indonesian, as a result of learning english.
Mr. Tonedeaf DV i can relate
aku juga belajar bahasa indonesia sendiri. aku belajar di universitas tapi tidak ada banyak practice karena itu aku belajar sendiri. when i used to live in indonesia i bought me child books too haha and tried to learn it. sekarang aku di jerman dan belajar tentang nonton youtube video, membaca buku (untuk anak2) dan coba memfilmkan (untuk berbicara) dalam bahasa indonesia. i don't have much people or anyone around me who can talk with me. so i usually talk to myself ahahah aduhhh :D makasih untuk video-videomu. aku belajar dengan nonton videomu juga :) makasih ya sacha!
thank you for this video, although im an indonesian, i'll use ur tips for the opposite language :v
Thank You Sooooo. much Sacha. Really helpful. I wait for your videos with anticipation. This one really helps me. I'm 54. Live in the Gili's, Lombok. Married here to a local for 10 yrs. And still struggle with the language. (too many bule' here).

agatha amadea hahaha! "
yea her house just like 2 mins away from me, but never see her around
Ma-nu-si-a
this is a great video Sacha!very practical and helpful! Terima kasih banyak! i've been married to an Indonesian for more than a year now, but i'm still not fluent in Bahasa. We live overseas and it frustrates me everytime we visit my in-laws, as I can't chat to them much.. 😆
Really good ideas. Gonna show this video to my Canadian husband ☺️
Btw, I’m your very new subscriber 😉✌️
omg Sacha, you even try to fix your accent? Most bule won't even care 'bout that as long as they can speak and understand Indo.. You must be really love Indo haha, or are you just perfectionist? If it's the former then thank you very much for loving this country. Either way, you are awesome and inspiring! I love this "bule aneh"!
Input, thumbnail nya 'how to learn Bahasa'
Bahasa = Language
And Bahasa Indonesia = Indonesian/ Indonesian Language (kayak bahasa korea : Korean)
Ac1d iya sih.. tapi orang luar biasanya kalo 'bahasa' udah pasti lagi ngebahas bahasa Indonesia.. 🤔
I rarely speaking Bahasa with Bule since not all of them interested learning Bahasa. It is so nice Mrs. Sacha learning Bahasa. I love Bobo too
omg.. this is the new quote : "Kita rampok dari Hollywood doang jangan rampok dari local *that's the rules "
:D :D
Hi Saha, thanks a LOT for your tips, I wanted to learn bahasa badly; it's indeed so beautifu! my level is very low I knew what my balinese friends teached me ..like maybe 80words so far mostly used on daily basis which is eactly what I needed to start, since I discovered this viedeos I decided to follow your method and it works for me! As I'm back again to Bali in june I'm gonna get some Bobo books because not available in my country, I'm also lucky enough that my balinese friends help me a lot on daily basis, I'm definitely committed to improve, pelan-pelan ;) Terima kasih banyak!
i actually collect bobo lol, it's a great magazine, and maybe you kan try like newspaper for kids (?) It's berani i think, i have a lot from my school back then
I'm just learning Indonesian and came across this video in my search. This is a great tip. I have several magazines in Indonesia that I will start doing this with! The only thing I will do differently is the amount. For me personally 10-20 is very overwhelming! I will probably start off with 5 then when I memorize those move on to 5 more. Hopefully I will work up to 10 each time! Thanks for the suggestions.
I learnt pretty much the same way. I'd buy SD books from Gramedia the sd1 had pictures which were great for learning. I still have the book somewhere that I used to write down all the words I was learning. I would translate Peterpan songs and hang around at my friends skater shop where zero English was spoken. Agree after a year I was pretty fluent and understanding full speed Indonesian. Oh and to add pillow talk increased to the speed of learning too ;)
The karaoke vcd's were good for finding out new words too.
Challenge accepted. Let's see if I can get fluent
You can do it! 😁
OMG...My magazine since I was primary school....😂😂😂😂😂😂
Elementary school...
Not only are these tips applicable for learning Bahasa, but also can be used in learning any languages. Definitely will apply your learning hacks to improve my English and Spanish! (especially speaking)
bikin video belajar bahasa Inggris dong 😩 aku masih banyak salah-salah nih
eleveneightseven nah, kita juga butuh ini! 😁
Sapa tuh 1 orang yg nge-dislike?
.

Tapi suer deh ini saran paling realistis yg pernah gw temuin di youtube. Bisa buat belajar bahasa selain indonesia juga.
Sacha, amazing video. Thanks for the tips - I might use it for other languages I want to learn. Oh, and speaking about translating songs - check mine out on my youtube channel, few years ago I translated an English language song into a full Bahasa Indonesia lol oops sorry for the shameless promo.
I LOVE YOU SASCHA!!!
saya juga lagi susah nih belajar bahasa spanyol. sekarang tinggal di Kolombia dan masih enggak lancar ngomongnya.
kayaknya bakal contek metode belajarnya, deh. makasih banyaaaaak!!
btw, mungkin kamu mesti latihan ngomong "bobo" karena masih terdengar seperti "bowbow" hihihi
i wish bobo had an english version. so i can learn english language easily 😂
I hope so 😶
aduuh neng sacha terlalu jujur, "kita rampok dari hollywood tapi local jangan" wakakakak sungguh super
i think you sounds just like a true sundanese 😊👍🏼
Aksen org2 indonesia sendiri bermacam macam ada org batak yg berbahasa indonesia ,orang sunda atau jawa yang berbahasa indonesia mereka unik dan beda satu sama lain,sacha bule yg berbahasa indonesia dg keunikannya,, keren
Hi Sacha.
I've always been envious of your fluent Bahasa, and now I know why.
I have one little problem; I'm dyslexic. (I use voice recognition software to leave my remarks/comments, as I do here on you tube)
So your method of buying Bobo is not going to work for me.
And all the constant reminding from me, to my girlfriend to help me, I still haven't learnt much after all the time I have been in Jakarta.
She's too busy wanting to talk to me in English, so she can improve her English skills.
And I do take your advice, and I hang out at my local warung, and talk to the Ojek guys for example. But their English is very limited, which makes them trying to translate my English, into Bahasa, for me to learn, very difficult.
So my question is, do you have a way of learning Bahasa, without using the written word??
Much appreciated.
Listening to Indonesian songs might help or audiobooks but I don't know if there is Indonesian audiobooks
Thanks MJ, i'll check it out.

Hi Safiyyah.
Can you suggest any videos I can watch?
When I've seen Indonesian people speak on TV or you tube, they talk very quickly, and it's a little hard to understand them.
Sacha's suggestion of buying Bo-bo every week is good.
I only wish there is a video version of Bo-bo, or something similar.
Belajar semua bahasa itu tdk mudah, krn diperlukan kesabaran dan daya ingat yg tinggi serta tdk mudah menyerah atau bosan. Saya pernah belajar bahasa inggris 4 bln itupun blm serasa pintar. Saya pernah kuliah di universitas di Washington, bahasa inggris saya mengalir begitu saja tanpa pikir, setelah kembali ke Indonesia malah banyak yg lupa. Pernah belajar bahasa Mandarin krn punya pacar chinesee Malaysia jd bisa tp setelah jd teman biasa, bahasa mandarin saya jd lupa😀.....saya suka semua bahasa tp stlh bisa ga digunakan lagi jd lupa lagi...semoga yg belajar bahasa Indonesia terus berjuang. Actually Indonesian language is a simplest language in the world, theres no irregular verb. The Verb never change just adding "akan" for future tense, "sudah" for past tense and "sedang" for continous tense mudahkan😊 just to know most Indonesian people are helpful if knowing someone wanna learn bahasa Indonesis....follOw Sasha's tips you gonna make it...keep it up brosis 😊🙏
"rampok dari hollywood doank jgn dari org local" intonasinya indonesia bgt 🙄
This was a HOOT, achievable goals, good learning and referred resources. I am also re-inspired to attack Bahasa. thank you Bruce
Does it also works for other tongues?

Spelling = Mengeja
Pronounciation = Pengucapan
Eh, yg mana lebih bener buat "Pronounciation", "pengucapan" atau "lafal/pelafalan"? Mungkin terjemahan dari dua kata itu lebih kaya "speech" dan "Pronounciation" dalam inggeris, kan?
pengucapan = proses, cara, perbuatan mengucapkan (kata; perkataan)
pelafalan = melafalkan/mengucapkan kata (huruf demi huruf)
kalo speech itu pidato
It's PRONUNCIATION not pronounciation
