Why I Post In English? + My English Learning Experience
Thursday, February 02, 2017
Hi ...
In this post I'll talk about 'why are you write in English?'
As you have know, I live in a country called Indonesia, of course English is not my native languange. Indonesia has their own languange and their local languanges as well. I speak in Bahasa Indonesia, as you may know that the word 'bahasa' is 'languange' in English. People mistaken this so much saying 'I can speak bahasa' or something like that, and that's literally means 'I can speak languange', weird isn't it? 'Bahasa Indonesia' means 'Indonesian Languange', get that? Ahaha, you should.
So!
'Why I post in English not Indonesian? You have so many grammar and spelling mistakes in all of your post and sometimes we don't understand what you wrote.'
'Do you really love your country?'
'Do you use it so you can get attention from people because you think you have 'perfect' English and because English is so popular right now in Indonesia?'

Well, calm down sunshine ...
Yes, I have so many grammar and spelling mistakes. I know because sometimes I don't even understand what I wrote, but I give it a go first. I do love my country, seriously. And I don't use English so I can get attention from people.
Pfft ... seriously, why would I use English to boast my self up? Who could think like that?
I have two reasons why I post, why I write in English. The main reason is so people around the world can read what I wrote, can understand my mindset, and meet new friends through writing. And the other reason is to keep learning English. You know it, I have a lot grammar and spelling mistakes in my write, so if I keep writing in English, I will know where did I do wrong so I can fix it in another post and not make the same mistakes again.

And below this is my story with studying English, be ready ... ha ... ha ... ha ...
My first encounter with English is when I was three or four years old in kindergarden. The first words they taught me is numbers from one to ten. The little me don't understand why 'one' is pronounced like 'wan' not, how to explain ...'o-ne' (?) I don't know, if you Indonesian, you'll know. Why is your kindergarden taught you English in such a young age? No, that's the first and the last time they teach us English in Kindergarden. Besides numbers, I just know two other words in English, and that are 'cat' and 'dog'.....

In middle school I had three different English teacher in my whole three years in middle school. They changed it every year, and all of them are in a status 'killer' teacher. They are so grumpy! If we make a mistakes, they will be angry and yelled at us 'kok, kayak gini aja gabisa?' or literally means 'why can't you do something this?' or something that can reduce our confidence in learning English. Well, I don't know why they do that, stress maybe, teaching 40 people in one class, but one thing for sure is 'I hate English' when I'm in middle school.
I started to love English when my English improved suddenly when I was in highschool. My highschool is a billingual school and there is native (?) no, they're not native, they're Turkish, but okay from another country who still not 'speak' Indonesian, yet. They can but, yea ... you know what I mean ...
So, from the start of school, we had summer school is where we learn English from very basic to a little bit above basic for three months. The way my highschool's teachers taught us is very different from my teachers in middle school. Way more fun and we don't get blamed if we're wrong and that's why I still learning English, writing in English, and trying to speak English more. (And because learning English in highschool I can skip English class in collage and still get A)
And there you have it, right? Why I learn English. I still have to learn grammar which I still not 'gut nuf', but now I enjoying listening to English speakers, talking with different accent and reading English books that I love the most in English. Well, I still have to correct my pronounciation, though ... No problem still have time to learn. It's okay if you still have terrible grammar, we are learn from the same point and of course we can get at the same point, too. Alright, thank you for reading, have a nice day ...
And bye ...
