so what do you think guys? we cant speak indonesia languange again, we must speak english
It's quite impossible ( although I know this is a what-if situation ) to English become the main language of our nation if you consider the quality of English speakers in Indonesia. AFAIK, in some rural areas in our country, there are minor groups that can't even speak Bahasa Indonesia.
The best possible solution is make it like South Koreans do , make English as their second national language, which makes English as compulsory subject taught in schools while Korean language is still intact and is still the main language
i dont think that will be able in indonesia.
even english become general language in this world. but still. we should have our "Identity"
AFAIK ? what do you mean with AFAIK?Quote:

I think it's impossible because every country has their own language and their own cultures so if we change our primary language we might as well change our nationality into Americans..
We're Indonesians and we should be proud of our country.. English language is an International language and it's important for us to learn and practice it but I don't think we should change our main language.. We sometimes misused our own language, we mix it with english or sometimes not using the proper word.. Even other countries now are learning our language and that is something that we can be proud of.. is that our country attracts many foreigners and countries that is curious of our diverse cultures.. so be proud of our country and do whatever we can to show other countries that our country isn't a country that could/should be underestimated..
I agree bro ... I think we should be proud of our indonesian language . . because in some other country they learn about our indonesian language toQuote:

long time no see laa..
Lol.. a lot of people will argue about this case.. haha.. surely, I agree with JasonBlake.. there are no country who use English language in whole daily life :)
origin people, take a look on Java or Kalimantan, and the other citizen in different island I think they will be hard to learn new thing because they have their own language
FYI, now Indonesian is used by some countries in Southeast Asia as second language like Vietnam.
So, we have to proud with our language..
Well i'd like to, meaning our secondary languange will be Indonesian not SundaneseQuote:

I suppose it's possible, it all depends on our future generations. Singapore is a good example. It's a country so keen on progress that english just became natural for them.
In some schools around jakarta, they are trying to integrate english into day to day studies. Sometimes they even have international classes taught by foreigners from all round the world.
imo Indonesia would be better off if everybody just started speaking english. But of course it be a shame if no one remembers how to speak bahasa.
Our Language - Bahasa is what makes us Indonesian. Other language such as English, Chinese, Italian, African, and many more are just helping tools for us to either study abroad, speaking with foreign people, or to make business. That's all.
i will completely disagree with english as our mother tongue, a language is a country's identity, changing our language means changing our country's identity
so how about sundanese, javanese, bataknese language..
you can not change our pure region language, just because of english as first international language.
These region language came from thousands years ago!
Willing to be an international predicate country could be realized by enhancing our english in school, improve education policy, etc.
but not change our language.
when you loose your language, you loose your identity.
About singapore, basically, they are founded by melayu and english (daendels).
its really hard to imagine
lets say if someone angry and wanna curse others, (happens a lot in indonesia)
what will they say?
"woy dog"
It's really horrible for me.. because i can't speak english fluently..
I hope Indonesian Language wouldn't be change into English one.. :(
it's impossible ..
because many of indonesian people can't speak english well.
N I think if that become true, we will all lost conncection .
and what about our national song...?? :D
i thought that's will make people no proud again with this nation...
i not agree, but where there you live there is a rule
you can speak with english everywhere in indonesia as long as you not forget your national languange "BAHASA INDONESIA"
I agree.Quote:

I think its impossible
why?
many of the people dont know how to speak english and understand it
knowing indonesian language is already a good job for people who dont understand
you can make it so that it becomes one of the official languages alongside bahasa... not necessarily the language everyone talks.
your english is not bad tea :))Quote:

and what makes you say that?Quote:

why?
because indonesian language can't be used in other country
IMO
CMIIW
Being able to talk English does not guarantee that this nation will prosper. look around, Japan for example. Most of their citizens refuse to learn english, yet their economic is far better than some other English speaking countries like Singapore or Australia for example.
its all depend on the people in that country
if the people want to work harder for this country, someday this country will also be a developed country ^^
I doubt that I will live long enough to see that day. Let's just hope.Quote:

I think it can be possible if Indonesia want to grow up so far.. ^ ^Quote:

I do speak english whenever on university because it's english-based for some subject, but I do talk indonesian agn whenever on home. lol
if english is become our mother language ...
then there is no more Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia.
we're gonna be a part of commonwealth ..
i wonder , what would our nation flag looks like?
red and white with union jack on the corner :D
look silly to me eyes :)
i think it is a good idea if the national language indonesia become english..
because many countries also do that..
the first priority is english..
so Indonesia can grow up so fast especially in business..
coz many Indonesian ppl can't communicate with foreigners..
people who come from french, spain, or any other countries to Indonesia, they can speak English as well..
and i think if national language indonesia become english, foreigners will know Indonesia really well n many foreigners will come to Indonesia..
n they will know the other cities of Indonesia too (not only Bali)..
hehehe..
If it happens, most of the ppl in indonesia will embarassed themselves bcos they cant talk english properly :P
i agree with english being our second national language...however the education level in indonesia is still very low, therefore we cant expect it to be soon, maybe 30 years from now...
nope , i think its quite impossible for this time
in fact not all of the indonesian can speak bahasa fluently LOL
they just prefer to speak their own language such as sundanese, javanese , etc
