2025-02-212015-07-19https://dash.harvard.edu/handle/1/42715913As a volunteer researcher in Bandung, Indonesia, I am currently in Yogyakarta learning basic bahasa Indonesia. My learning is enhanced by understanding (more or less) some of the reasons why things are how they are in a language. Being able to openly access this document adds a wider context to some of the terms and conventions I am grappling with, enhances my understanding, and helps retain meaning. Mungkin.
