Voice of Indonesia presents Let’s Speak Indonesian, a program that introduces the Indonesianvocabulary 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“Pemilu” which means “General Elections”. Stay tuned.

Read to this conversation about“Pemilu” which means “General Elections”.

In a sidewalk shop, Kevin and Rama are enjoying cold drink amid the scorching heat.

Having listened to the conversation, now I am going to introduce somevocabulary andexpressions related to the topic of the day.

If you want to ask how to do something, you can use a question word bagaimana (2x) which means how. In the dialog, Kevin asks Rama how to participate in the general elections. Bagaimana cara kamu berpartisipasi dalam Pemilu ? (2x) which means How do you participate in the general elections? Additionally, you can also use the question word Seperti apa (2X) which means how do you? to ask how to do something. For example: Seperti apa cara kamu berpartisipasi dalam Pemilu? (2X) which means How do you participate in the general elections?

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.
