Ciao a Tutti! Ti Voglio Per Sempre!! Let's Read My First Work

Hello, everybody! How are you doing? Hope you all are always in God's blessings and embrace. Learning something new is always interesting, like what I am doing now. Yes! Now I am learning (the very basic) Italian Language. It is completely new for me as in my native language (Javanese Language and Bahasa Indonesia) we do not have femminine and masculine words. So... It really takes time to understand it. I got to be patient, a friend of mine told me, since learning a language is a process. 

Language is a special capacity inside humans that is used to get and make use of complex communication system, and a language is a specific example of the system. Human language is unique because it has productivity properties. It generally depends on social convention and learning process. Its complex structure is able to give possible expression and wider use compared to known-animals-communication-system. Humans acquire a language by means of social interaction. The use of a language has rooted in human culture. Therefore, a language is not only used to communicate, but it also has many social and cultural functions, such as as a signal or identity of a group and of a social stratification.

Back to (learning) Italian Language. From my browsing activity , Italian is considered as one of the beatiful languages in the world. Italian language is a Romance language spoken by around 70 million people, majority in Italy. It simply describes why I am interested in learning this language. In addition, I have been dreaming of travelling to Italy, the country of my favorite soccer players, tasting the ambiance of its part, or probably selling "Soto Ayam" in Roma, hahahahaha ... .Before I chose this language to be in my '"to-do-list", I browsed and had a chat with friends about what another foreign language I prefer to learn. A friend of mine suggested me to choose Spanish. However, after several considerations, including location of the course, my heart falls into Istituto Italiano di Cultura, Jakarta. Located in Jl. HOS Cokroaminoto No. 117, Central Jakarta, this building can be reached by several kinds of transportation, public or private. I use 'Tanah Abang' commuter line from Lenteng Agung Station, and end my travel in Sudirman Station. If you use similar public transportation, then, you gotta take the right direction and go down the street. At the junction, you gotta take left. You will see the Korean Embassy and Latuharhary busway stop. Cross the street and step your feet into a small park. It is called Taman Via Duct Latuharhary. After crossing the street that is on your right side, you will see the Istituto Italiano di Cultura right in the corner of a wide cross junction. 

First time I commenced the course was on October 2014, every Saturday. It was A1A level (livello A1A) and was held in ten times of meeting and each meeting comprises four hours. I paid Rp. 1,300,000 for the level and I got a book, which includes a CD and at the end of the course, after joining the test, I got a certificate. The teacher was a female native Italian. She taught us for two levels (A1A and A1B), then she moved to Bali as Direttrice Trattoria.

Now I am joining livello A2A with a new teacher. He is Indonesian, but can speak Italian fluently. By joining this course, besides getting new lessons, I also got new companions and experiences.

Ci vediamo! A Presto! Arrivederci! Ciao! Ti Voglio Per Sempre!!
