I'm trying to learn Italian. But since I'm from Potato Land, where we speak with as many grunts as we do nouns. So this semester while everyone has been learning Italian, I have been learning English. (Did anyone else not know that the Perfected Present is really in the past?)
So with all these non-native English speakers around I thought ya'll (3rd person plural-Italian Loro :) might enjoy some of these.

DaRu, you mentioned that in Bahasa Indonesia they use the word pardigma. I speak a little bit Bahasa indonesia. (Malaysian is almost identical)
I can carry full conversation when A) it is about food, luckely 40% of all conversations, B) it is about a topic of things that were introduced during the Dutch rule.

Paradigma, as this is a dutch word. I am guessing was introduced by the dutch. Many (richer) Indonesian had their schooling in Holland itself, or from Dutch teachers.

LOL Ichaban, I wasn't paying attention or at least didn't catch the mistake. Thankfully, jstkdn taught me how to cut, copy and paste so now I can type, spell check it, then hopefully not have so many errors...LOL. Thanks for bringing it to my attention though. If I could make corrections, believe you me, I'd go back and correct a lot of messages I've posted in the past...LOL. Thanks for the support jstkdn, you're the best!
