Ujian Spanyol itu Rasanya Uwooow!

Dari jaman kejayaan telenovela macam Amigos x Siempre, Marimar, Rosalinda, Charita de angel dan kawan sejenisnya di Indonesia tempo dulu (ada kali yah pas masih duduk dibangku SD), udah kerasa tuh hasrat-hasrat pengen belajar bahasa Spanyol. Apalagi setiap kali denger mereka ngomong Spanyol ampun deh kedengeranya seksih (pake banget) serupalah sama tampangnya Fernando Jose haha. Apalagi, kebetulan dapet kesempatan untuk belajar dunia internasional dan banyak ketemu temen-temen dari amerika latin, nah tambah lagi tekad buat belajar bahasa Spanyol sebagai bahasa ketiga setelah Ingris, tapi kayanya keempat deh sekarang karena udah keduluan belajar Mandarin dikuliahan hehe. Akhirnya, tahun ini Alhamdulillah kesampaian bisa belajar bahasa ini di tempat les yang strategis dan harganya terjangkau (pake banget lagi). Eitss ini bukan maksud untuk promosi yah, untuk yang penasaran aja nih namanya Universidad Catolica San Antonio (UCAM), Spanish Center di Jakarta.

Anak Bekasi nge-Spanyol di kereta Commutter Line, Diliatin emak-emak.



Kira-kira udah jalan 3 bulan gw sama temen-temen belajar di UCAM, karena saking seru metode pembelajaran Señor (guru) kita, ngak kerasa udah dateng aja tuh tanggal-tanggal keramat yang namanya el dia de examen, bahasa indonesianya ujian buat naik tingkat. Saking keramatnya nih tanggal, gw harus off 3 harian dulu dari dunia penskripsian untuk fokus belajar kesini. Alasanya sih simpel, karena penasaran sama materi pembahasan ditingkat selanjutny - Sebernernya ngeles aja itu karena takut ngak naik tingkat haha!! Ujian kemarin terbagi dalam 2 sesi, tertulis dan lisan. Kata Señor pengen coba terapin metode tes Delle - sejenis TOEFL-nya Spanyol. Baiklah, pertempuran dengan buku catatan terjadi cukup intense. Beberapa akan gw coba peperin disini yah, hitung-hitung sambil belajar bareng juga!:)

1. Belajar Angka dan Alfabet kaya anak TK gitu deh, kurang lebih seperti yang kaya digambar bawah ini. Kalau yang suka nonton Dora atau dengerin musiknya Om Pitbull pasti cepilaah ini.

2. Conjugador de verbos, yup belajar konjugasi. Uniknya dalam bahasa Spanyol adalah kata kerja ini bisa berubah-rubah sesuai dengan siapa yang ngomong (Subject). Hmm maksudnya, I, You, she he it, they and us bisa menetukan bentuk perubahan kata kerja (Verb). Lumayan peer banget sih ngapalinya tapi gampanya dalam verbos ada 3 model akhiran -ar, -er, -ir. Contoh kata dasar seperti berikut, coba diperhatikan huruf akhir kata tersebut yah.

3. Belajar articles, semacam the, an, a dibahasa ingris. Mereka punya Al/El, Un/Una, Unos/Unas. Dikarenakan penjelasan ini agak ribet, mari kita simak video berikut yah:




Nah materi sederhana untuk pembelajaran kali ini baru 3 itu dulu yah, karena bakalan panjang banget kalau sesuai catetannyaa. Doain yah semoga gak buruk-buruk banget hasil ujiannya nanti (seketika nginget dialogue yang lupa text malah ngomong ingris)hahaha. Nah materi pembalajarannya kurang lebih juga  semoga bermanfaat yah, Oh ya satu lagi ada bagian expresión escrita diujian. Kebetulan saat itu topiknya, el mejor amiga (best friend). Untuk siapapun yang akan ditulis namanya disini, cuman pengen ngucapin terima kasih untuk kepercayaanya berteman baik dengan Rienta :D Anyway ini contekan tulisan yang dibuat, bagian ini paling spesial haha Semoga bisa mudah dipahami ya!

"Mi mejor amiga se llama Annisa, y somos amigas desde hace años. Tiene veintiuno años, y su cumpleaños es el séptimo de Marzo. Es una estudiante de relaciones internacionales en Bakrie Universidad.

I'm in the #JoeyTeam, Are You?

Last night when I was randomly strolling down my Facebook page, appeared one offbeat article that my friend shared directly from asiancorrespondent.com. The reason why I am calling this article as an offbeat, because I felt my friend's side of craziness that is out of mainstreams from the rest of people. He shared new information for me while I found others are busily mumbling around politic dramas (E.g: #papamintasaham) or just selfies and status updates about the lives they are proud of. Hmm...

This article, 12 years old Indonesian jazz maestro is nominated for 2 grammys caught enough my curiosity running wild. As Indonesian, I couldn't deny the sudden awestruck feeling that hit me after reading the article. Joey Alexander is one of the Jazz world's youngest prodigies that is now having international recognition for his music talent and achievements. According to some online media coverage, This Bali-born maestro moves to New York after being covered by Wynton Marsalis, the director of Jazz at New York's Lincoln center, where he invited him to perform in the Big Apple around 3 years ago. This is one of his outstanding performances when he played for jazz legend Herbie Hancock at an event in Jakarta. Really, you will see God's gifted talents from such tinny hands!




His debut album, "My Favorite Things" (Motéma) so far has received a 4,9 out of 5 rating on amazon. Joey may be now most talked youngest musician that will be vying for two awards– ‘Best Improvised Jazz Solo’ and ‘Best Jazz Instrumental Album’ when Grammy's night comes out around in February, 2016. If he wins, he will become the youngest ever person to win a grammy after LeeAnn Rimes when she was 14. How awesome is that! Good job brotha. 

He is now booked for a series of notable appearance in the coming months, including one at the Newport Jazz Festival in August. Of course, Joey Alexander's music certainly deserve thousands of supports from Indonesia not only limited to Jazz lovers. You know exactly what his true talent bring us, yes that real pride. But, the question is now how many Indonesians know exactly about Joey Alexander story and his astonishing achievement. By fact, this Joey story actually told me something beyond the improbably life of a child prodigy, more things to say for Indonesia.

It is shameful fact that we are not well aware before about this super kid because none of our local TV Stations tells us his story. You know the fact that political dramas and unworthy showbiz make more good money for the industry than such coverage. We are tragically fed with divisive and destructive information for instance the misbehavior from many of Indonesian politicians that often make us always stunned in upset and Perhaps, the glam and bizarre reality-shows for local celebrities fascinated many of Indonesians especially young people more than following for what true inspiring young model like Joey has been doing at his youngest age.
