This week we discussed the days of the week and the formal way to create an email in Indonesia. In Indonesian, the week starts on Monday rather than Sunday as it does in the United States. The words for the days of the week are as follows: Senin, Selasa, Robu, Kamis, Jumat, Sabtu, and Minggu. These mean Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. In Indonesia, the name of days of the week are upper case. To say the word week, the word for Sunday is used, but it is not capitalized. In other words, the word minggu means week.
The structure of an email is as follows:

Hello friend,
How are you? I am not doing well. I have a presentation at school this Monday. I hope you are doing well. You are from Florida, right? I am from Tennessee.
To learn the vocabulary, I have created flashcards. Remembering the email structure is not as difficult, as it is similar to the structure use in the United States.
