Belajar Bahasa Inggris... Susah?

[johnsie]

Saya gak pernah belajar bahasa inggris formal selain di sekolah, soalnya dulu gak mampu bayar kursus inggrisnya. Sekarang pas udah bisa bayar sendiri, udah gak punya waktu. Tapi dulu 'makanan' sehari-hari saya kamus inggris-indonesia-inggris jadul punya mama saya. Walhasil kelas 4 SD vocab saya udah ngelebihin anak2 SMA jaman tahun 90an...haha, ketauan deh angkatan berapanya

Tapi belajar bahasa itu menurut saya paling bener kalo memang praktek langsung, either ke negaranya langsung (kalo ada uang lebih) atau banyak2 latihan berbicara dengan native (gak boleh malu, asal gak malu2in). bahasa inggris saya terlatih di chatroom en ngobrol ma customer di tempat kerjaan, maklum..front liner..jadi mau gak mau or suka gak suka, ya harus belajar bicara. Alhamdulillah terlatih. Asal jangan juga malu bertanya.

Saya punya degree di Mandarin Lit and Lang, tapi sekarang nyaris hancur berantakan dibanding inggris saya. Karena jarang bgth dipake en saya males latihan. Info tambahan, Mandarin gak sesusah yang dibayangkan atau yang orang2 bilang. Bener tuh, masih lebih susah bahasa Suomi (finlandia) ato Perancis...ahh...perancis say sudah betul2 menyerah deh

Biasanya para native speaker akan bangga sekali kalau non native ingin berbicara bahasa mereka, the native akan memberi atau berbicara pelan2 supaya non native bisa mengerti, demikian pula native yang berbahasa Perancis...hanya kadang2 Mereka sedikit membuli (Native Perancis), tetapi sebenarnya mereka sangat bangga sekali, apalagi kalau mereka adalah teman atau yang sudah di kenal...Mereka ( native Perancis) akan mendorong untuk berbicara bahasanya...Jadi jangan minder ya...Regards...

JOKES: Euro English

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the EU rather than German which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five year phase-in plan that would be known as "Euro-English".

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of the "k". This should klear up konfusion and keyboards kan have 1 less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be ekspekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent "e"s in the language is disgraseful, and they should go away.

By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".

During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.

After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi to understand ech ozer. Ze drem vil finali kum tru! And zen world!
