WHAT LANGUAGE HAVE WE BEEN LEARNING?

Foundation:A simple goodbye is: Dah! Or even, Dah-dah!

Grade one: To answer Berapa umur kamu? (How old are you?) Umur saya ….tahun (I am ….years old) practise your numbers! https://www.education.vic.gov.au/languagesonline/index.html?l=indonesian&t=3&a=3

Grade Two: family members: bapak = dad, ibu= mum, anak = child. Can you count people in your family? https://www.education.vic.gov.au/languagesonline/index.html?l=indonesian&t=3&a=3

Middles : Instead of brothers and sisters Indonesians talk about younger siblings ‘adik’ and older siblings ‘kakak’ In Indonesian the letter ‘i’ is pronounced like ‘ee’ in English. The ‘k’ at the end of a word is a short sound

Seniors: By Tuesday seniors will have added ‘mengunjungi’ (to visit) to their list verbs and done some cartooning with our three verbs and some extra words like ’kadang-kadang’ (sometimes) and ‘nakal’ (naughty / cheeky).

NB Google translate helps you with pronunciation. Maybe you would like to play with some of this language at home? Or just ask your children about games we have been playing with this language. A lot of this language can be accessed on languagesonline: https://www.education.vic.gov.au/languagesonline/

Have fun,

Salam,

Ibu Kas
