Hi, I'm looking for tandem partners in Chinese, Vietnamese, Spanish and Indonesian. I'm interested in learning languages, traveling, delicious food, photography and a lot more. I can help with German, if you like, or we can talk in English. Visit my website http://www.polyglottraveller.com. It's a German blog about traveling as a backpacker and learning foreign languages.

    Trying to learn German

    Hallo, ich bin Karlie. In der (besser: meiner) Freizeit, ich schwimme ich gern. Ich tanzen nicht gern. Am Wochenende, ich spiele ich Karten. Aber, ich bin nicht gut. Im Sommer, ich wandere ich (oder: Ich wandere im Sommer).
    Wedasien, Auf Wiedersehen,
    Karlie

    terima kasih banyak. Is there anywhere a list of words/vokabulary, where I can see the difference between formal and informal usage of words? Would help a lot! :)

    But in this context, I've another question: Would it be rude, to use informal language, when talking to people as a foreigner. Or should I use formal language, when I visit that country for traveling and talk to Indonesians? I mean, I do want to be polite, but don't want to sound like a bureaucrat...

    Thank you very much. All of you have been very useful. I appreciate it! What I've learnt so far: - The word order determines, if it's formal or informal language (SPKO vs SPOK) - bisa changes the meaning of the sentence from: I speak a little Indonesian (I just do). to: I CAN speak a little Indonesian (I'm able to do so). - so in the every day usage, when talking to people on the street, I would rather use informal language (SPOK) terima kasih banyak

    Is there a difference in the usage of mau and ingin or can I use them synonymously? Saya mau/ingin makan. Saya mau/ingin belajar Bahasa Indonesia.

    Word order in Bahasa Indonesia Why does the position of sedikit change, when you add bisa to the following sentence? Saya hanya berbicara sedikit Bahasa Indonesia. Saya hanya bisa berbicara Bahasa Indonesia sedikit. or is it also possible to say: Saya hanya bisa berbicara sedikit Bahasa Indonesia. is there any rule for that case?

    I know, that both of the languages are derived from Bahasa Melayu. I have done my 'research' already before. :) The grammar is more or less the same. And the vocabulary is about 60-70 % identical, right? I guess the pronunciation may also differ. I don't presume, that I can manage to learn both in that short time, but I guess I can still get a feeling for both of them and try to communicate as much as possible.  I'd also like to focus more on Bahasa Indonesia than on Bahasa Malaysia.
