Halo semua! 
Di podcast ini, saya akan membahas tentang "besok" dan "kemarin" ala orang Indonesia.  "Besok" dan "kemarin" adalah dua kata sederhana, tapi sering membuat orang asing bingung. 

Misalnya, kalau ada seseorang bilang, "kemarin aku makan bakso enak banget",  mungkin itu artinya dia makan bakso seminggu lalu. Atau, kamu mungkin pernah dengar, teman orang Indonesia kamu bilang "besok-besok saya mau pergi lagi ke tempat itu", ini tidak berarti besok dia akan pergi, tapi hanya rencana, mungkin beberapa hari ke depan. Atau contoh lain, "besok kalau saya punya uang, saya mau beli barang itu". Ini juga artinya bukan besok, tapi rencana lebih jauh di masa depan. 

Penggunaan yang fleksibel dari "besok" dan "kemarin" ini, menurut saya, mencerminkan sifat orang Indonesia yang fleksibel dengan cara hidup. Fleksibel dengan perubahan rencana, juga perencanaan untuk masa depan. Latar belakang macam-macam budaya di Indonesia juga pengalaman hidup, memberi pengaruh ke cara orang menggunakan "besok" dan "kemarin" dalam percakapan sehari-hari. 

Kalian punya pengalaman unik gara-gara salah paham dengan arti "besok" dan "kemarin"? 

Terima kasih sudah mendengarkan podcast ini. Sampai jumpa lagi! ^^

"Besok" dan "kemarin" ala orang Indonesia

Listen and learn how to buy fruits and vegetables from the greengrocer. The episode focuses on the use of "ne" as a partitive particle.

Cliente: Buongiorno! Vorrei comprare della frutta e della verdura.

Venditore: Certo, signora! Che tipo di frutta e verdura sta cercando?

Cliente: Vorrei delle mele, delle banane e delle arance come frutta. Per quanto riguarda la verdura, mi servono delle carote e dei pomodori.

Venditore: Ottimo! Abbiamo delle mele rosse e verdi. Quante ne vorrebbe?

Cliente: Mi dia per favore quattro mele rosse e due mele verdi. 

Venditore: Certamente. E per le banane, preferisce quelle mature o ancora verdi?

Cliente: Preferisco le banane mature. Me ne dia quattro, per favore.

Venditore: Benissimo. E per le arance, le preferisce dolci o leggermente acide?

Cliente: Preferisco le arance dolci. Posso prenderne cinque?

Venditore: Assolutamente. Ora passiamo alla verdura. Quante carote desidera?

Cliente: Me ne servono due.

Venditore: Perfetto. E per i pomodori, li vuole maturi o ancora un po' acerbi?

Cliente: I pomodori maturi. Ne vorrei quattro.

Venditore: Devo aggiungere qualcos'altro?

Cliente: No, grazie. Penso che sia tutto.

Venditore: Va bene. Ecco a lei le sue mele, banane, arance, carote e pomodori. Il totale è di 12 euro.

Cliente:  Ecco a Lei. Grazie mille!

Venditore: Grazie a lei! Buona giornata!

In today's podcast, I discuss how to build rapport during a job interview!

Active Listening: Demonstrate genuine interest in what the interviewer is saying by actively listening to their questions and comments. Maintain eye contact, nod occasionally, and respond thoughtfully to show that you value their input.

Mirror Body Language: Subtly mirror the body language of the interviewer to establish rapport on a subconscious level. This doesn't mean copying their every move, but rather mirroring their posture and gestures to create a sense of harmony and understanding.

Find Common Ground: Look for shared interests, experiences, or values that you can connect with the interviewer on. This could be anything from a similar educational background to a shared passion for a particular industry trend. Bringing up these commonalities can help build rapport and foster a sense of camaraderie.

Ask Thoughtful Questions: Show genuine curiosity about the company, the role, and the interviewer's experiences by asking thoughtful questions. This demonstrates that you're engaged in the conversation and eager to learn more, which can help build rapport and leave a positive impression.

Share Personal Stories (Strategically): When appropriate, share relevant personal anecdotes or experiences that showcase your skills, values, and personality. This can help humanize you in the eyes of the interviewer and create a more meaningful connection. However, be mindful of oversharing or veering off-topic, as this can detract from your professionalism.
