Indonesian to English

Happy Monday.... yeay...!! I love Monday, especially for this semester...  because what ?! because I only have one class on Monday.. only one.. that's cool.. yeayyy... (again) ....  every Monday i got Translation class (such an interesting material) ....  well, let's talk about what i got today from translation class... 

The class started at 10:20 AM... and I came late, but I was lucky because the lecturer is not a "killer" ... usually at Translation class.. we learn about how to translate from English to Indonesian but different for today and two last meeting... we learnt about how to translate from Indonesian to English...Oh God, that's such a difficult thing, as i know translate from English to Indonesia is much easier than Indonesian to English.

After two last meeting, today we still talked about the same things but today there was something interesting that sometimes for me as an Indonesian never realize..my lecturer gave us a sentence in Indonesian, she asked us to find one words in english "bergaul".. we all were busy trying to find it on the dictionary but no one could find the word... finally my lecturer gave up and told us the answer " bergaul = get along "...  OMG.. it's such a easy word but yeah.. we are Indonesian who speak Bahasa Indonesia, thats normal i guess.. after that she asked us to find it on English-Indonesian Dictionary.. taaaaadaaaaaaaa... we found it .. LOL...it didn't stop at all... when my friend read her result of one sentence of the translation, my lecturer said " this is very Indonesia..."... we all laughed ..(because we knew she was right)  She said that, we have to learn how to make it in English, and do not translate it word by word... I did learn something then..

*anyway at that time I didn't bring my Dictionary, and suddenly the lecturer asked me ...

Q : what was your answer ?

A : I said " I am so sorry Mam. .... someone borrowed my dictionary that's why i didn't bring mine"

hahahahaha.... I lied (don't make it as example)

PS : One of my big problems when i write something in English is finding words, it also happened when i write  this post.... well, sorry if my blog is written in English but  the taste still Indonesian.
