As a beginner level language learners, you can study reading in a simple word. But, simple words like what? You must be wondering when you read the title of this column. The first words you should read are: Practice reading numbers and colors. Yes, it matters.

Learning Indonesian is fun. But for people who have never learned Indonesian at all, they may not know and are confused about how to get started. Well, to start learning a Indonesian, the first thing you have to learn is the Indonesian alphabet. Why should you learn the alphabet? The answer is, so that when you start learning vocabulary, you can pronounce the word correctly. So, if you've never studied a Indonesian at all, don't underestimate learning the alphabet. And in every country it will be different how to pronounce the alphabet.
