Our Group

We have a great group of women interns here.  In the past month we’ve spent a lot of time together and have enjoyed getting to know each other better.  Indo. interns Melva, Endah and Dias are helping Amer. Interns Laura, Becca and I learn Bahasa Indonesian and culture.  We’re learning each other’s quirks.  We swap laughing at each other.  I keep trying to say the glottal stop sound, “g”, in words like “ungu”, purple, and “mengerti”, understand.  Yesterday they were trying to make the english words “thought”, “taught” and “touch” sound like distinct words.  It’s a lot of fun.

  1. Thanksfor posting the pictures. I enjoy looking at them and seeing your smiling face.

  2. Those 3 words is the hardest one for Indonesian even we cann’t know the differences while speaking.
    For glottal stop sound isn’t “g” but “ng” for “ungu” and “mengerti” and akan ada banyak kata
    bahasa Indonesia yanga akan menggunakan “ng”.
    so, selamat menikmati belajar di Indonesia.
    If you have some problems, I’m here, in Batam.
    Semangat mbak Kasih!!!

  3. Thanks Mom! I would enjoy seeing your smiling faces too!
