Voice of Indonesia presents Let’s Speak Indonesian, a program that introduces the Indonesian vocabulary and guides you to speak in the language. Mari Berbahasa Indonesia or Let’s Speak Indonesianis a joint initiative of Voice of Indonesia and the Language Development Agency of the Indonesian Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology.  Today’s topic is about “Cuaca dan Musim” (2x) which means “Weather and Season”. 

Here is the conversation entitled “Suhu 25 Derajat Celcius” (2x) which means “Temperature of 25 Degrees Celsius”. This conversation happens between Kevin and Nuni. Nuni and Kevin are walking on the road in the city of Bandung, West Java. They are walking while talking about weather and season. Let’s read to the conversation.

Nuni

“Mendung, tetapi terasa panas. Berapa ya suhu (udara) nya?”

Kevin

The answer you may hear is the amount of temperature, such as Dua puluh lima derajat celcius (2x) which means Twenty-five degrees Celsius.
