Welcome to My Humble Abode

 

Welcome to my humble abode, a blog dedicated to write about English, Japanese, and Bahasa Indonesia. I hope you enjoy reading my rustic English!

First of all, I love English (and Languages in general). Why would it be? Because it's my first love. It bloomed when I didn't even know.... It was a natural process. English was not my mother tounge, and I was hardly an eloquent speaker. None spoke English in my hometown. I was totally a country hick! I moved from a small town  to Jakarta years ago. First time I learned English was from my Junior High School, where I struggled to get even the minimum score of 6/10 (got a score of 5/10 in my report card). I barely understood "Yes", "No", "Good morning", and fundamental words back then xD. I couldn't say anything more. I sincerely thank my private English teacher from the bottom of my heart to Miss ita (if you happen to read this blog, thanks so much!). I built up a solid foundation and confidence in English due to her assistance. Reaching English mastery and usurping it into one of my brain compartment was not an easy road. Eventually, though, English has become my favourite language of choice. My vocabulary in English has grown so much that it even exceeded my native words reservoir.
The journey to language mastery was a mystery yet intriguing and rewarding journey. And now, I'm planning to master Japanese, as my third 'foreign language'.

This blog will story my journey in maintaining almost native English level and sprachgefuhl (actually just decided to create this blog in commemoration of getting my first International TOEFL score). I am going to improve my English even more with daily writing. I want to prove to the world that we, as a human hold limitless potentials. I, as an example, had very limited resources, but able to at least exceed my friends' score with perseverance and grit.

I have never gone abroad except once (to Singapore and only for a few days) .. I hope in the future I can travel around the world to speak to audiences, friends and families.
