Indonesian slang language studies.

Slang is considered essential in order to interact more with the people of Indonesia.

Why Gaul Indonesian Language Study in Australia?

Spelling alay like "T3t4p optimi5 and s4l1ng m3ngharg4i For k3B4ikan" became one of the topics covered in the written Language Learning Gaul couples from Australia and Indonesia. Slang is considered essential in order to interact more with the people of Indonesia.

Not only spelling alay (a term that is widely used for teenagers on social networking began in 2009) and the words that are considered slang, how to use some words in informal language was discussed in the book Language Learning Gaul.

This English-language book written by Nick Molodysky couple, residents from Sydney and Karina Santoso, Jakarta. "The idea came from my experience studying Indonesian. Indonesian I've learned since was in elementary school," said Nick to Erwin Renaldi, a reporter for ABC International. "When I later realized that college to work in Indonesia and socialize with Indonesia, it is necessary also to learn Indonesian informal."

In college, Nick took Indonesian studies program that already has enough understanding about the structure of Indonesian. He also used to wear Indonesian with a number of acquaintances on campus.

"Some words I learned from Karina and television. Most of my friends on campus also came from Indonesia so much to learn from them," said Nick graduated from the University of Sydney. Book Language Learning Gaul was released in Indonesia at the end of May 2014, while in Australia in August.

The process of writing itself took 18 months because Nick was in Australia, while Karina was studying in Guangzhou, China. Only after Karina moved to Australia, they can more easily perform the editing process.

"The purpose of this book so that people could be talking like a local [Indonesia]," says Karina. "The words in slang is constantly changing, but if we know how to make a sentence, the future will be easier to just stay fit trend change."

Until now the response of the book is quite good. According to Nick and Karina, this book Language Learning Gaul had been sold in some bookstores in Indonesia. They also claimed that his buyers are also coming from China, Korea, Japan, Singapore, to India.

According to Nick, learning slang is not too difficult. He himself admitted that he never formally learning, just hearing the words and expressions of the people.
"I'm just noting the phrase or new words," said Nick. "There is no source for learning, also in high school when the school is very limited at all to think the slang."
He also added that the sentences in slang or informal language is more flexible than the official language is too rigid.

Nick and Karina hope that this book will not only teach slang, but the language that is used daily in Indonesia, "because no one really talked stiff as in the dictionary."
