Course description:
This Indonesian language course will cover the essentials of the language, including phonology
(graphemes and allophones), syntax (grammatical structure), and semantics (contextual meanings) with a
lot of Indonesian greetings discretely specific to Indonesian. This course will spare enough time to delve
into scientific context of the language. On the whole, the course is composed of 15 chapters covering
dialogue (conversation), grammatical structure, word formation, simple mathematic operation, cultural
notes, and vocabulary.
Indonesian, commonly called Bahasa Indonesia is almost exclusively written in Latin script (Italy-based
ancient Latium language covering Latium and Rome) with a lot of influences currently coming from Arabic
and Dutch languages. The Dutch once penetrated Indonesia's common parlance and law and judicial
lingos (as still obvious up to now), following its almost 350-year era of colonization (1605-1945) over
Indonesia. Nowadays, many more foreign languages are increasingly penetrating Indonesian script,
especially the international lingua franca English. And in modern era, Indonesian is deluged en masse by
colloquial words of young people intertwined with slangs derived from various ethic dialects equally
shared through media communications nationwide.
The very root of Indonesian is the Malayo-Polynesian language family from which Malay Languages
(Bahasa Melayu), which are spoken by people around South East Asia as a lingua franca, came thereof.
Malay was later taken over by Indonesia, Brunei, and Malaysia as their national languages.
Importantly, while Indonesian letter is simply read as is (like Latin script) with constant sound and
allophones, Filipino learners will graphemically enjoy resemblant wording and writing system because of
the fact that some 3,200 root-words of the Tagalog-based Pilipino are taken from or are similar to
Indonesian words.

Course description:
As a continuation of Indonesian 1, which dealt with general introduction to Indonesian phonology,
standard syntax and semantics, Indonesian 2 will delve more into three basic linguistic elements, to wit
(i) the basic syntax (grammatical structure), (ii) the very structure of Indonesian sentences, and (iii) the
knowledge of Indonesian multifarious verbs.
Under the basic syntax, this module will further elaborate syntactic functions of adjectives, adverbs,
adverbials, prepositions, and nouns. And in the structure of Indonesian sentences, the course will
introduce the basic sentence patterns, clauses, and conjunctions, in addition to common models of
interrogative and imperative sentences as well as the elements of tenses and passive voices. Meanwhile
apropos of verbs, this module will manage the complicated structure of Indonesian verbs and auxiliary
verbs, billed to be the most difficult part of this language on account of its irregular affixation in the verbs.
This module, which consists of 12 Chapters in toto, will be somewhere intertwined with some classes of
light, if not colloquial, expressions, such as particles and interjections, aside from the scientific aspect of
the language.
Having exposed scientifically to this basic Indonesian 2, the learners should be able to write the
Indonesian grammar-based sentences with more powerful mode. And since every chapter is always
opened with a related conversation and equally equipped with extended word formation, vocabulary, and
regular exercises, the foreign learners would then grow in strong knowledge of speaking, reading, and
comprehension.
