Hi, I\u2019m Seojun.These days I\u2019m totally into studying \u2018Inni-eo\u2019<\/strong>, so every day has been such a joy!Honestly, the reason I started learning another country\u2019s language is thanks to a cute friend named \u2018Qila\u2019<\/strong> I met while filming cozy, healing game videos for YouTube.Qila also introduced me to friends named Adipp, Moen, and Togi, and before I knew it, I was surrounded by Indonesian friends.On top of that, I\u2019ve gotten to know other subscriber friends too, and it\u2019s become such a genuinely happy and precious experience<\/strong> for me.<\/p>\n\n

Indonesia practices Islam.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

In Indonesia, more than 90% of the population is said to believe in one religion (Islam)<\/strong>.Among this religion\u2019s rules, I especially liked the part about \u2018avoiding provocative behavior\u2019<\/strong>.Even when you\u2019re on YouTube, the standards are strict enough that there can be legal consequences for sharing sexually suggestive media or stories.Korea is similar, but Indonesia feels even more peaceful and wholesome, and I really love that.<\/p>\n\n

These days I\u2019m doing a media detox\u2014avoiding excessive stimulation and practicing a healthier cultural life.Even on the street, you hardly see overly revealing clothing, and it feels healthier from a brain-science perspective too.The food is generally less salty and less spicy, and the street atmosphere is calm and unhurried\u2026 it\u2019s pure healing.<\/p>\n\n

So I\u2019ve been liking Indonesia more and more, and naturally I started learning Indonesian too.<\/strong>When I first started taking classes, the pace was so fast I almost teared up\u2026!Still, my skills improved quickly, so that was a nice upside in its own way, haha.<\/p>\n\n

Indonesian greetings with Selamat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

The word that fascinated me most in Indonesian is \u2018Selamat\u2019<\/strong>.It carries congratulations, positivity, and good meaning<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • Selamat = Congratulations<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Selamat pagi = Good morning! (06:00\u201311:00) <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Selamat siang = Good afternoon! (11:00\u201315:00) <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Selamat sore = Good late afternoon! (15:00\u201318:00) <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Selamat malam = Good evening \/ Good night! (18:00\u2013) <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    When you put \u2018Selamat\u2019 in front like this, it feels like you\u2019re instantly getting a burst of good energy.<\/p>\n\n

    These days, when I do affirmations, I add Indonesian phrases too\u2014\u201cThank you (Terima kasih)\u201d and \u201cI love you (Cinta kamu)\u201d!It feels a bit similar to English, and the grammar is simple, so it\u2019s really easy to learn.<\/p>\n\n

    Me, you, and us…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

    (Everyday words)<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • Aku = me<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Kamu = you<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      (Between close friends)<\/p>\n\n

        \n
      • Gua = me<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Lu = you<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

        Sometimes when I say \u201cGua~\u201d to Qila, she finds it so fascinating\u2014and laughs a lot too.In Korean, it\u2019s kind of like saying, \u201cThis humble me~ did this,\u201d maybe?Maybe it\u2019s like when a foreigner suddenly says, \u201cI did this~ how was it for you~?\u201d in a goofy way.It makes us feel even closer, and it\u2019s honestly so funny and cute, right?<\/p>\n\n

        What I talked about with Qila in Indonesian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

        Recently, I even made a video out of a conversation Qila and I had in Indonesian in YouTube comments!Yesterday, I finally told Qila in Indonesian, \u201cKamu imut!\u201d (You\u2019re cute)<\/strong>, and I felt proud all day long.<\/p>\n\n

        \n

        kamu imut = You\u2019re cute<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        If you add \u2018banget\u2019 to the end of a word, it means \u201creally\u201d or \u201cso.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        For example, \u201cAku lucu banget\u201d means \u201cI\u2019m really funny!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

        The more I learn Indonesian, the more fascinating and fun moments keep pouring in.I have an online Indonesian class again tomorrow, so today\u2014since a new book just arrived\u2014I\u2019m going to practice even harder!<\/p>\n\n

        If you\u2019re thinking about taking on a new language, I really recommend Indonesian.It\u2019s so easy, and it\u2019s a language that makes you happy as you learn it.Thanks for reading! Selamat belajar! (Happy studying!) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
