We know the positive impact speaking a foreign language can do to the locals in that country. This is why we are sharing some simple Indonesian Phrases you can use on your next trip there.
Have you ever heard a foreigner tried to say some words in your native language? Did it amuse you? Did it put a smile on your face? I bet it did. Language is the bridge that connects people.
A simple attempt to speak a language in order to communicate your thoughts to the locals will be more than appreciated by the locals. It doesn’t really matter how accurately pronounce the words. The fact that you bother to try and put yourself on the line will certainly score you some points with the locals.
