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 Indonesian is a joint initiative of Voice of Indonesia and the Language Development Agency of the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture.  Today’s topic is about Meminta Petunjuk which means Asking Direction. 

Here is the conversation entitled Bagaimana cara ke sana? which means How to Get There? This conversation happens between Kevin and the hotel officer. Kevin asks direction to Jalan Asia Afrika Street from the hotel.

Let’s read to the conversation.

After reading to the conversation, now I am going to introduce some vocabulary and expressions related to the topic of the day.

In the dialog, you read a question Bagaimana cara ke sana? (2x) which means How to get there? In the question, there is a question word Bagaimana (2x) which means How. It is used to ask direction.

Let’s read to another example of using the question word bagaimana to ask direction.

Kevin:                  : Bagaimana cara ke Restoran Segarayu? (2x) which means How to go to Segarayu Restaurant?

Reseptionis         : Restoran Segarayu ada di seberang hotel. Anda bisa berjalan kaki ke sana (2x) which means Segarayu Restaurant is across the hotel. You can walk there.

Kevin          : Bagaimana cara ke Gedung Arta Graha? (2x) which means How to go to Arta Graha Building

Reseptionis         : Anda bisa menggunakan bus (2x) which means You can go by bus

That was “Let’s Speak Indonesian” for today. Hopefully, this edition can be useful for those of you who want to know more about Indonesian language.
