    For centuries, there was no standard Indonesian language. It was only after Dutch colonization
    that the Indonesian alphabet was standardized, and even then, many elements of Dutch were
    used, particularly in names. During the 1930’s, the entire language was streamlined, making
    use only of the letters in the English alphabet.

    Indonesian is a phonetic language that has only a few rules to learn. What this means is
    that Indonesian words are read and sound exactly the way they are spelled. This makes
    pronunciation, as well as spelling, much easier to learn than they are with some other
    popular languages. Those who learn Indonesian by listening to people speaking find
    learning Indonesian writing later on a breeze.

    Like in the English language, when two letters appear at the same time, they indicate a
    change in pronunciation. Examples of this are “kh” and “bh.” In your Indonesian lessons
    you will learn that there are really no variants of this occurrence, and most learners have
    no problems picking up on these irregularities.

    1 The Indonesian alphabet and phonetic pronunciation:

    A a ah J j je S s es

    B b be K k ka T t te

    C c che L l el U u uh

    D d de M m em V v fe

    E e e N n en W w we

    F f ef O o oh X x eks

    G g ge P p pe Y y ye

    H h ha Q q ki Z z zet

    A language’s alphabet is its building blocks. Trying to learn how to write in Indonesian without first
    learning its alphabet is a bit like trying to build a brick house without touching the individual bricks! It is
    impossible to do a good job that way. So don’t believe language schools and methods that try to teach
    you otherwise. You will regret it later.

    Also, once you start recognizing symbols and words, you will be encouraged by your own progress
    and motivated to learn even faster. Even just learning the basics of the alphabet will allow you to start
    recognizing simple Indonesian words, and it will feel great!

    Furthermore, knowing the alphabet even helps with pronunciation, as learning the individual letters of any
    language will start uncovering nuances and intricacies that are not always apparent when you’re simply
    listening to the words.

    Completely mastering the Indonesian alphabet, no matter how long it takes, will give you an excellent
    head start in learning how to write and read the language. It will offer you a solid foundation on which to
    build the other language skills, so set a goal to learn the alphabet so well that you’re able to recite it in
    your sleep!

    3 Vocabulary and Pronunciation Practice:

    Using the correct pronunciation of the Indonesian alphabet practice saying the words below;

    senang gunting anjing makan air


    happy scissors dog eat water

    jam sepatu kucing buku pensil


    clock shoe cat book pencil
