Lesson Notes
Lesson Focus
The focus of this lesson is Self Introduction in Indonesian
Topic 1: How to introduce yourself in a informal situation
Sentence from the lesson:
Halo, nama saya Fira.
"Hi. My name is Fira."
- Start by saying: Halo, nama saya...
- Say your name: nama saya Fira.
Topic 2: How to introduce yourself in a formal situation
Sentence from the lesson:
Selamat Siang, nama saya Fira Lukito. Senang bertemu dengan anda.'
"Good afternoon, my name is Fira Lukito. Nice to meet you ."
- Halo is an informal way of saying "hello" in Indonesian. In formal situations, you want to use Selamat Siang in place for "Good Afternoon."
- nama saya Fira has not been changed; in both cases, nama saya means "My name is," however during a formal self introduction we also say our last name, so I said Fira Lukito.
- For a formal situation, you might want to add Senang bertemu dengan anda which is the polite way to say "Nice to meet you."
Language Tip!
When you introduce yourself, it's a good habit to shake hands in Indonesia. If you use the correct sentence with Indonesian people, they're definitely going to be impressed!

Halo nama saya Corey, saya dari australia
Hi Martin,
Thanks for pointing that out. "Nama" isn't supposed to be written with capital letter. We have already fixed the Lesson Notes.
About the Android app, we will integrate video lessons in the future. For now please enjoy our audio lessons on the go, and check out videos in your computer! :smile:
Let us know if you have questions.
Sincerely,

Halo, Nama saya Martin. Is it planned to integrate the video lessons into the Innovative Android app in the future?
In the lesson notes "Nama" is written with a capital letter. Is that right, that nouns are written with a capital letter, like for example in German language?
