January 23, 2019: The INDONESIAN Way

Part of really engaging yourself with the culture of a country is their language.

Beforehand was the arrival of the remaining participants of the SEA Teacher Project - 2 more from the Philippines and 2 from Thailand. Since we are now complete as SEA Teachers we start the lectures in diving into the culture of this wonderful country.

Ibu Lusi mainly introduced us to the different regions of Indonesia and some of the things that we will be looking forward to such as dances such as REOG, performances such as DONGKREK, tourist spots and even the food.

Ibu Ermi taught us the language itself by making us practice the Indonesian way of our greetings and introducing ourselves in our language.

Selamat Pagi, Nama saya Lynton. Saya Dari Philippines, Saya kuliah di Mariano Marcos State University - College of Teacher Education.

That means Good Morning, My name is Lynton. I am from the Philippines, I study at Mariano Marcos State University - College of Teacher Education.

After our BIPA Class we had our official welcoming at UNIPMA. The Rektor was present as well as the officers or faculties of UNIPMA and UNIPMA International Office. We also had Times Indonesia and we were featured in their website. We were very thankful and grateful for this opportunity and we were just in cloud 9 as these things happen right in front of our eyes.
