My goals for week 10 were:
From Bahasa Indonesia bagi Pentur Asing Tingkat-A1: Unit 5 Jalan-Jalan (touring/visiting)
- to learn the names of animals, "things," and public buildings that are "near" to my everyday life
- to learn how to give and ask for information about animals, "things," and public buildings, i.e., train stations, markets, shopping centers, etc.
- to have a conversation about my favorite places to visit on holidays
- to identify the rooms within a house and basic house goods
Culture
From Jobless Vloggers
- to understand the context in which recent uprisings in Jakarta occurred
- to understand the broad opinions about these uprisings
- to read the economist about current geopolitics concerning Indonesia
Review
With my language learning partner
- to have a comprehensive conversation covering the topics that I have learned
Accomplishing these goals:
I worked on Unit 5 "Jalan-Jalan," sourced from Indonesia's Ministry of education and culture. I worked on my listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills via the activities within this chapter. The listening and speaking parts were completed with my language learning partner. Moreover, I watched videos that covered the recent protests taking place on the streets of Jakarta as well as listened to the commentary of people voicing their opinions on how these protests reflect the current nature of Islam in Indonesia and where the country is heading next. I also read about Indonesia's stance on the South China Sea conundrum. Lastly, I spent two hours with my language learning partner working on my speaking and listening skills as well as talking about Islam's presence in Indonesia's society.
