  • the indonesian language was founded from the malay language because it (malay) was the existing lingua franca throughout the archipelago for centuries, dating back to the pre-colonial ages, when all trades among kingdoms from different regions in the indonesian archipelago were done in malay language.

  • @joesacp i agree with this.. i also javanese, but i still have to learn more..

    also for example,, surabaya, jogjakarta, malang..is used to speak javanese... but the javanese's way to speak or word or rule..has their each way... ^^

  • I love how he says that she is bilingual and speaks Indonesian and Javanese. She speaks very good English as well. So, she is more than just bilingual. Lol

  • whats up with the noisy aircon sound?!

  • Hmmm in some way it sounds like japanese when she introduces herself

  • that wasn't "frog" but "fox".. wkwkkkk... and i have better javanese than her

    "the quick brown fox jump over the lazy dog"

    "rubah coklat gesit mencoloti kerek/asu sing males"

    ngono lohhh..

  • she needs to polish and expand her vocab, I mean it is fox! awwww, and I see some little misunderstandings between them, but then her english is good. thanks for this video

  • I'm having a lot of trouble pronouncing the words! But I'd still like to learn because we're planning on moving to (somewhere in) Indonesia in the future. Yeah! :)

  • itu FOX bukan FROG mbak yuuu..... tolong diperhatikan tu BULE nya....
