i have to keep a daily journal for indonesian class. this week has been rough. we jumped from chapter three to chapter five, plus a national holiday in the middle of it increased our forgetfulness - we have all been feeling a little discouraged. for the next few weeks i am going to include my indonesian journal entries in both indo and english. enjoy.

July 3rd
Last nite I didn't sleep - a dog was barking in the house next store from 1 to 5am. Then today in class I didnt know any Indonesian. My words came slowly and they were not too good. I am losing this game.
















But - I am not finished.
















I will study a lot














and go to Indonesia and I will interview puppeteers and I will ask my questions and the interviewees will say "You speak Indonesian very well!" And I will say "Thank you sir."

Kemarin malam tidak tidur saya - di rumah dekat saya angin mengonggong dari jam satu sampai jam lima. Lalu hari ini di kelas tidak saya tahu bahasa Indonesia. Kata saya datang pelan-pelan dan mereka kurang baik. Saya kalah ini pertandingan.
Tapi - saya belum sudah.
Saya belajar banyak dan pergi ke Indonesia dan saya akan wawancara dhalang-dhalang dan saya akan bertanyaan saya Pertanyaan dan di orang diwawancaraiakan kata "Bisa berberhasa Indonesia bagus anda!" Dan saya akan kata "Terima Kasih Pak."
