American Slang

Selain belajar tata bahasa, kita juga harus mempelajari bagaimana bahasa itu digunakan dalam percakapan sehari-hari. Ada beberapa contoh kalimat dalam bahasa inggris yang sering digunakan sehari-hari, tapi kalimat-kalimat ini termasuk bahasa slang atau bahasa pasaran. Tujuan saya menulis kalimat-kalimat tersebut bukan saya maksudkan untuk dipraktekkan dalam percakapan sehari-hari, tapi supaya kita lebih mengenal expresi tersebut, sehingga tidak akan terjadi misunderstanding. Jangan sampai kita mendengar orang mengatakan hal yang sebenarnya artinya kotor atau jorok, tapi kita malah mengucapkan thank you.

Salah satu cara untuk belajar bahasa inggris adalah dengan menonton film yang berbahasa inggris. Nah, kalimat-kalimat ini sering sekali dipakai dalam percakapan di film.beberapa ekspressi yang sering dipakai:

What the hell are you doing? (The hell tidak ada artinya). Sisipan the hell ini digunakan untuk menekankan kalimat what are you doing? Kalimat ini bisa diucapkan karena marah, atau diucapkan pada kawan yang sudah sangat akrab. Hal itu tergantung intonasinya.
You’re bubbling! Shut up! (Tutup mulut)
Bloody : Arti sebenarnya adalah berdarah, tapi kata ini sering dipakai untuk menunjukkan kekesalan atau penekanan pada kata yang mengikutinya, seperti bloody hell.
I’m not fussy : Saya tidak peduli.
I’m stuck on her : Saya tergila-gila padanya.
He looks like shit ; Dia kelihatan kusut banget.
Son of a bitch : keparat.
I need to piss : Aku kebelet kencing.
Don’t give me that shit : Jangan ngoceh.

Language learning is like falling in love

Falling_in_love

This evening I have to give a short talk in Japanese to about 30 members of the Japan-Canada Chamber of Commerce. I am a Director of this Chamber, which consists mostly of recent Japanese immigrants to Canada who are involved in their own businesses here. Here is what I intend to say in Japanese.

Language learning is like falling in love. In fact you have to be in love to learn a language well. I mean in love with the language. You have to have a love affair with the language. You do not have to marry the language. You can have an affair and then move on to another language after a period of time. But while you are learning the language you have to be in love with it. And you will learn faster if you are faithful to the language while you are studying it.

Just as when you are in love, you want to and need to spend as much time as possible with the object of your love. You want to hear its voice and read its thoughts. You want to learn more about it, the many words and phrases that it uses to express itself. You think of the language wherever you are. You start to observe the object of your love closely. You notice all the little things it does, you become familiar with its peculiar behaviour patterns. You breathe it. You hear its voice. You feel it. You get to know it better and better, naturally.
