okay....
Am meeting one woman,... she's a friend of my sista. from the first sentence she spoke to the last one, all she speaks is in ENGLISH. she lives in indonesia, n She's chinese descendant. She learnt a lil bit chinese, n she called it "garbage chinese" coz she never be in a formal class, she used to hang out with taiwanese.
i didn't talk to her coz am busy thinking.................................
how Indonesian are weird
some people would tell its rich with its culture. so english is our 2nd lang, and its "COOL" to speak in english..
while me am thinking of heeemmmmm....
am free n totally FREE to speak out without thinking too much and struggle with grammar and new words in my home country. here in Indonesia. I ve never ever appreciate how good it feels to speak in my mother language before I studied chinese.
n now am meeting one chinese girl who always speaks in english in our own country....
ok i can tell
somehow speak in english will help ur kiddos growing in a language environment and they will easily learn english someday.
this quite weird but i know this thing exists, people feel smarter, n sometimes it makes ppl feel they are " smart, well educated, prestige, COOL" when they speak in english.
But .....
when will their kids learn to love Bahasa Indonesia? and appreciate their mother language naturally ?
Ppl would answer : kids will learn their mother language when they're at school, Don't worry. yet educate them to always speak in ENglish or Mandarin or any other language.
heem.... this just seems weird for me..
tho i dunno what will i teach my kids someday. DO i appreciate Bahasa Indonesia enough ? Or am i proud to be indonesian who's half chinese, speaks Bahasa Indonesia, chinese n english. coz i also feel weird to sum up this weird thing i found not in my mother language but in ENGLISH.
heemmmmmm *... *
something to think about :D....
dizzy,,
withy.
