I'm a fresh graduated student who is interested in learning English. I learned English as foreign language at school but I think it isn't enough for me to be able to communicate with people. I need more practice and some grammar lesson. My first language isn't Bahasa Indonesia, but Banjarese ---a vernacular language of South Borneo ----

    Hi Vilson,

    In my point of view, one reason for which people are quite reluctant to communicate with someone new is because they have no appropriate topics to talk about. You can imagine how awkward the situation is when we don't know what else to say after talking for a period of time. On the other hand, I don't think we can enjoy talking about grammar or academical things all the time. We've had it at school. What we need is practice. Yea, I admit, maybe it's because we're facing different issues or because we have little information about the current issues our partner's facing. 

    For instance, once I met someone who wanted to be able to speak Indonesian language and then we set the time to meet. After we talked for some minutes that person left me without saying any goodbyes, but I could still see the "online" status of that person. Then I looked at our messages again, and I found that there weren't any questions or attempts to speak Indonesian. There were only questions about tourism sites in Indonesia but I couldn't explain them well.

    So I think we should write in our profile about what we're interested in whether in politics, economics, films, musics or anime, so that we can see if that person matches our preference or not. (^__^)

    I expected to read a novel in English this week, sadly, <em>Young Sherlock Holmes - Black Ice</em> by Andrew Lane which is translated into Indonesian took my attention more than others.

    It's cool!

    I agree with Peter. I'd follow those who have interesting experience and knowledge and...willing to share constructive comments on someone's discussion, notebook entries, etc.

    Tradisi Menyambut Ramadhan

    Hai semua,,,

    Selamat menjalankan ibadah bulan Ramadhan ya...

    Sy mrasa bulan Ramadhan dalam beberapa tahun t'ahir tidak begitu istimewa dibanding bulan2 sebelumnya, krn waktu sya kecil, biasanya ada acara2 penyambutan bulan puasa. Sekarang masyarkat sdh semakin majemuk dan sibuk dgn urusan masing2 sehingga tdk sempat lg utk menjalankan tradisi lama. I miss the old Banjarmasin. :-(

    Kalo di tempat kalian gimana??? Apa aja tradisi penyambutan bulan Ramadhan d'sana? Please share ... 

    Makasiih..

    Adjective or Noun phrase Hi all, I'd like to ask about a term. Which one is correct, English Debate Club or English Debating Club? I used to call it English Debate Club, but then I heard my friend from somewhere always says it English Debating Club. What I see here is that it's supposed to be noun phrase because the word "debate" doesn't need to explain the word "club". Am I right? Could anybody explain more detail? Thanks

    Hmml, I'm going to tell about someone alive using present simple instead of past tense. 

    I think my dad is the person I would say first. He teaches me how to face the life. He believes "to travel is better than to arrive", that processes are more important than the results (^_^)

    I'm not learning Korean language, but I do have so many favorite celebrities. For K-pop I like DBSK especially Jung Yun Ho and So Ji Soeb for actor category. (^^)

    I agree with JOY. If the learning target is to speak, we need to immerse ourselves into the real community of the language itself. My dad has his own mother tongue, and I know some but I can't speak his language as well as he does. This is because the community where I live uses our own mother tongue and I never use my dad's to communicate. We prefer using my mom's language or national language than his.
