We finished unit 1 including place names of Indonesian islands along different country names and nationalities. We reviewed the alphabet with spelling drills and proceeded to discuss names for various family members. Afterwards, we were given a worksheet with numbers from 1 -100. The textbook, which at first glance seems childlike, is actually excellent in the progressive development of language skills and vocabulary. The more I am able to communicate, the more I experience the poetic melody inherent in the language.

We practiced informational questions regarding name, age, height, place of origin, former and current residences. We reviewed numbers from 1-100 playing bingo. Bu Indra called out the numbers very quickly. I won the first round, but as I don't eat lollies, I gave my winnings to my study partner, Angela (牠也会说中国话）. We also learned the words for simple addition addition and substraction, then watched a video of an Indonesian comedy troupe singing, "Satu ditambah satu sama dengan dua..." We translated the unit 1 dialogue into English. In the Lab period we went through 10 units on a great website from the State of Victoria's Department of Education. (See Links.)
