Last time we discussed ‘sicknesses’. Today we are talking about an almost equally annoying topic which is ‘learning Chinese’. All of the tone struggles, countless characters and diverse accents can sometimes really give Chinese learners the headache. Let’s talk it all through and hopefully it eases up our frustration. 

Note: This podcast is intended for language learning ONLY. Not for promoting or criticizing any political party or ideology. Let’s keep it friendly and accessible to all :)

Also, all of the experiences are the hosts’ own experiences so please do your own research if you need more information.

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! ^^
