안녕하세요!

안녕하세요! 저는 파자르예요. Around March 2014 I started learning Korean language at Korean Culture Center Indonesia (주인더네시아 한극문화). I have so much fun learning a new language. Not only it broadens my view throughout world cultures, it also gives a chance to make new international friends.

As a return, I wanted to share my native language, so you (or anyone interested) could also learn to speak Indonesian. In this blog I'm going to write articles on learning Indonesian language. Websites on learning Indonesian in English are so many and easy to find. That's why I wanted to write all my articles in Korean. But since I'm also still a beginner in Korean, I may need years to fully master Korean before I could even post a single article on this blog. So here's the plan: I'm going to just start writing articles in English (or mixed with Korean), then as my fluency on Korean advances, I will translate those articles to Korean :)

Like Korean, there are two forms of language: formal and informal. Formal form is usually used for writing and formal speech. The other form, called Bahasa Indonesia sehari-hari, is usually used day-to-day for verbal conversations. However, in terms of grammar, there's no difference between polite and non polite forms. The differences between polite and non polite sentences are based on selection of words. While most words are neutral, some are considered non polite (or even rude) that should be replaced with other synonyms when making polite sentences. I will try to cover both formal and informal forms in my posts.

That's it! See you in my next article~
