Justin Bieber, bahasa Indonesia and the course

Did Justin Bieber know that Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) is the official language of Indonesia? Don't ask him that question when he is singing and dancing on stage. How well does he know bahasa? Rather than say it is Indonesian, it is well known by foreigners as bahasa (the language).

Now, remember Justin Bieber's concert in Indonesia, April 23 2011?--I wrote the similar theme here about a year ago. He sang in English. he danced like an Englishman and the way he thought referred to English-speaking community. But suddenly he spoke bahasa:

"Saya bisa berbahasa Indonesia" (I can speak Indonesian language)
"Ya, saya bisa berbahasa Indonesia."
"Siapa bilang saya tidak bisa berbahasa Indonesia?"
"Saya sungguh-sungguh bisa berbahasa Indonesia."
"Kalau saya tidak bisa berbahasa Indonesia, saya tidak akan mau berbahasa Indonesia."

Any question?

Ada pertanyaan?

Kenapa tiba-tiba Anda bisa berbicara bahasa Indonesia, Justin?

Why all of a sudden you are able to speak Indonesian, Justin?


He might say, "I don't know, ask the crazy blogger." 

The silly one as written above reminds me of a friend who probably will give solution to anybody wanting to master Indonesian language. If you want to know the meaning of the stressing phrases above you may visit Bahasa corner and ask my friend about it.

One suggestion, if you happen to be in Indonesia now, especially in Jakarta, the capital, try to ask the local the meaning of "Katakan tidak pada korupsi!" I am sick of asking this question to politicians. Lol.

  2. Whatever language course one may take, one thing for sure, and must come into consideration, is that the traditional method should be rid of. People need to talk in any real situations not merely brainwashed by formulas. Agreed?
