Dongeng Bahasa Inggris - The Sultan and the Mermaid

Berikut adalah kisah nyata, cerita bahasa Inggris dari Jawa yang dikirimkan oleh Paul Spencer ke NewYork Times, mari kita simak bersama-sama :

PELABUHAN RATU, Indonesia— Those who pay special attention to royal affairs of the heart might clip a lock of hair and a fingernail or two on June 21 in honor of one of Asia's most intriguing love stories. 

On this date Sultan Hamengku Buwono X of Jogjakarta will celebrate his official birthday by trekking to this spot where the surf pounds against the slate- gray southern coast of Java, the main island of Indonesia. Here he will offer women's clothing and his own nail and hair clippings in honor of his 15th century ancestors: Senopati, a Javan king, and Nyai Loro Kidul, a mermaid goddess. Local belief has it that this unlikely couple began one of the world's longest- surviving royal families - the four Javanese sultanates of Jogjakarta and Solo. 

Years ago I set out to meet Hamengku Buwono IX, father of the current sultan of Jogjakarta. Eventually a friend, herself a member of the royal family, introduced me to the sultan, who had been a vice president of Indonesia as well as finance and defense minister. He was a well educated man, powerful but kind. He had earned respect for his courage in standing against the Dutch during Indonesia's war of independence.

I had one question I wanted to ask Hamengku Buwono, and I tried to phrase it in a refined Javanese manner. How was it that this man of pragmatism and worldly experience could pay homage every year to a mermaid?

Over sweet tea, the sultan told me that during the Indonesian fight for independence he had fasted for two weeks, eating only rice and water, in order to meet Loro Kidul in a vision. "Then I saw her, Eyang - I call Loro Kidul 'Eyang,' grandmother - seated behind two of my nephews," he said. "She was young and pretty."

He said that in his vision, the young men were killed. And in fact, his two beloved nephews died within the week. 

The sultan then described a critical moment for him during the independence struggle. It was a time when difficult decisions were being made about when to fight and when to negotiate. The Dutch ruled all but the 7 percent of Java that was governed, under contract, by the royal houses of Solo and Jogjakarta. Each time a sultan died, the colonial administrators would impose a new contract reducing the power of the incoming ruler.

Negotiations between Hamengku Buwono IX and the Dutch were long and difficult. According to the sultan, the crucial moment came when Loro Kidul appeared in a vision and told him to "give them their contract because soon they will go home." 

He signed the contract, but never read it. And Loro Kidul's predictions came true. A year later, in 1942, the Japanese invaded Indonesia and evicted the Dutch. 

I was more than a little skeptical. The sultan gave me the Javanese equivalent of Shakespeare's "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio/ Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." He concluded: "When I was 4 years old I was already living with a Dutch family, so my brain is in some ways a Western brain. But many things happen which cannot be explained in a logical way."

I left, only half satisfied. I pestered K.R.T. Hardjonagoro, the regent of the Susuhunan's palace in Solo, for a touch more enlightenment. "In 1966, Sultan Hamengku Buwono attended the opening of the Samudra Beach Hotel, on Java's southern coast, which of course is Loro Kidul's home territory," Mr. Hardjonagoro told me one evening as we watched a wayang kulit shadow play.

"The night before the opening, a local village headman asked for an audience with the sultan," he continued. The old man told the Hamengku Buwono of a dream he had had the previous night in which a lady said she wanted offerings. She was dressed in green.

"The sultan, of course, knew that the old man had seen Loro Kidul. His Highness thanked the old man but explained that he would not make an offering since he was attending the hotel opening in his civilian capacity as minister of defense and wanted to separate the affairs of state from the mystical duties of the palace."

As Mr. Hardjonagoro spoke, the dalang puppet master sang half a dozen parts. "I was outside, near the pool, when the sultan said goodnight to the well-meaning old man," he recounted.

"Shortly after his refusal, I heard the sound of a locomotive. The noise increased until it sounded like 10 locomotives were coming towards the beach- front terrace where we were."

Suddenly a 10-meter-high (33-foot) tidal wave rose from the sea, which had been calm, Mr. Hardjonagoro said. It knocked down trees, washed away the hotel's buffet table and soaked visitors. Shortly afterward, the sultan changed his mind. "He said his prayers to Loro Kidul and made the appropriate offerings, and the sea was calm once again."

I was incredulous. Mr. Harjonagoro showed me photographs of the damage caused by the tidal wave. And he told me to go to the hotel and ask for Room 319.

Some time later, I did this. The room, it turns out, is where Sultan Hamengku Buwono IX made peace with the easily irritated mermaid queen. It is kept locked and reserved for her. For a tip, hotel staff will allow people access, to pray to the Queen of the Southern Ocean. It is a good business.

Contoh Kalimat "Simple Sentence" (Completed)

Dalam bahasa Inggris, terdapat beberapa jenis kalimat menurut jumlah predikatnya. Salah satu jenis kalimat tersebut adalah simple sentence atau kalimat sederhana. Nah jika dalam pembahasan jenis kalimat di bagian simple sentence hanya memberikan beberapa contoh singkat, sekarang saya akan membagikan beberapa contoh kalimat bahasa Inggris tentang simple sentence lebih banyak lagi.

Sebelum itu, hal yang perlu kita ketahui adalah ciri utama dari simple sentence. Ciri umum kalimat sederhana atau simple sentence adalah hanya memiliki susunan Subject + Verb. (baca: Pola Struktur Kalimat Bahasa Inggris)

Meski susunan utamanya hanya terdapat Subject dan Verb, bukan berarti bahwa dalam simple sentence tidak memiliki Object. Simple sentence atau jenis kalimat lainnya bisa memiliki object dengan syarat verb (kata kerja) nya adalah kata kerja transitif (transitive verb). Jika kata kerjanya transitif, maka susunannya menjadi Subject + Verb + Object. Begitu juga dengan Complement dan Adverbialnya.(baca: perbedaan transitive dan intransitive verb)

Untuk mempersingkatnya mari kita lihat beberapa contoh kalimat sederhana Bahasa Inggris berikut ini :

Contoh Simple Sentence dalam 12 Tenses. (Baca juga: Mengapa Tenses itu hanya 12)

1. I always love you
2. I loved you yesterday
3. I will always love you
4. Doni is learning English now.
5. Doni was learning English when I came.
6. Doni will be learning English when I come.
7. Ellisa has already eaten dinner.
8. Ellisa had already eaten dinner when his boyfriend arrived.
9. Ellisa will have already eaten dinner when his boyfriend arrived.
10. Santi has been reading a book for two hours.
11. Santi had been reading a book for two hours before his mother came.
12. Santi will have been reading a book for two hours by the time his mother comes.

Baca juga: Contoh Kalimat Active dan Passive dalam Tenses Bahasa Inggris. 

SELANJUTNYA Jika kalimat di atas dijadikan negative. Maka tinggal menambahkan "not" setelah auxiliary verbnya, kecuali nomor 1 dan 2. Kira-kira hasilnya akan seperti ini :

1. I don't love you
2. I didn't love you yesterday
3. I will not love you
4. Doni is not learning English now.
5. Doni was not learning English when I came.
6. Doni will not be learning English when I come.
7. Ellisa has not already eaten dinner.
   
8. Ellisa had not already eaten dinner when his boyfriend arrived.
9. Ellisa will not have already eaten dinner when his boyfriend arrived.
10. Santi has not been reading a book for two hours.
11. Santi had not been reading a book for two hours before his mother came.
12. Santi will not have been reading a book for two hours by the time his mother comes.

Pola Struktur Kalimat Bahasa Inggris

Sudah dijelaskan sebelumnya tentang definisi kalimat dan jenis-jenis kalimat, sekarang saatnya memahami pola penyusunan kalimat dalam grammar. Dalam membuat kalimat, kita harus tahu bagaimana menentukan sebuah subject kalimat (baca: cara memahami subject kalimat), kita juga dituntut untuk memahami beberapa kata kerja (verb), cara perubahan kata kerja ke dalam beberapa tenses dan masih banyak lagi.

Namun, satu hal yang perlu kita ketahui adalah pola struktur dasar kalimat dalam bahasa Inggris hanya sebatas hanya sebatas subject, verb, object, complement dan adverbial. Selebihnya, pola struktur kalimat adalah dependent clause yang diawali dengan kata sambung (conjunction). Untuk lebih jelasnya lihat screenshot di bawah ini :

Dari gambar di atas, jelas sebenarnya sangat mudah menentukan struktur kalimat bahasa Inggris. Kita hanya dituntut untuk memahami subject, verb, object dan conjunction. 

Sebenarnya masih banyak lagi modifikasi kalimat bahasa Inggris, karena pembahsan mengenai modifikasi kalimat bahasa Inggris ini terlalu banyak, maka akan saya jelaskan pada tulisan berikutnya saja, Semoga.

3 Jenis Kalimat Pertanyaan Bahasa Inggris

Sebelumnya sudah saya jelaskan 9 pertanyaan tentang cara mengawali percakapan bahasa Inggris. (baca juga : rhetorical questions dan declarative questions), nah sekarang sedikit mundur ke belakang yaitu membahas jenis kalimat pertanyaan (questions) dalam bahasa Inggris.

Langsung saja, menurut Quirk dkk (1985: 806), "Questions can be divided into three major classes according to the type of reply they expect."

 

1. Those that expect affirmation or negation, as in Have you finished the book?, are YES-NO questions.
2. Those that typically expect a reply from an open range of replies, as in What is your name? or How old are you? are WH-questions
3. Those that expect as the reply one of two or more options presented in the question, as in Would you like to go for walk or stay at home?, are ALTERNATIVE questions.

Menurut Radolph Quirk dkk, ada 3 jenis utama kalimat pertanyaan dalam bahasa Inggris dilihat dari jenis jawaban yang diharapkan.

1. YES-NO Questions, yaitu kalimat pertanyaan yang membutuhkan jawaban Ya atau Tidak. Contoh :Sudah baca bukunya?
2. WH-Questions, yaitu kalimat pertanyaan yang membutuhkan jawaban yang luas. Contoh : Namamu siapa? Umurmu berapa?
3. ALTERNATIVE Questions, yaitu kalimat pertanyaan yang membutuhkan satu dari dua atau lebih jawaban yang ada dalam pertanyaan. Contoh : Maukah kamu jalan-jalan atau tetap di rumah saja?

Mungkin, ketiga pertanyaan tersebut terlihat mudah diucapkan, namun berbagai aturan dalam membuat  3 jenis pertanyaan dasar bisa saja membingungkan. (baca 8 aturan membuat interrogative qustions)

Kontroversi Grammar Perusak Speaking

Ada seorang bule berbincang dengan seorang mahasiswa yang sedang berlatih speaking. Si bule  terlihat tidak menikmati pembicaraan dengan si mahasiswa karena ia pikir mahasiswa tersebut terlalu lama berpikir tentang grammar ketika berbicara. Hingga dengan sangat terpaksa si bule diakhir pertemuannya dengan si mahasiswa menyarankan agar jangan terpaku pada aturan grammar ketika berbicara bahasa Inggris. Si mahasiswa mengganguk mengiyakan saja seolah-olah pertemuannya dengan si bule rusak dan gagal gara-gara Grammar.

Ilustrasi tersebut mungkin pernah dialami oleh beberapa siswa yang suka belajar bahasa Inggris, khususnya speaking. Menurut hemat saya, membenarkan pendapat si bule bahwa grammar merusak speaking anda adalah salah besar.
 

Grammar itu aturan paten dalam belajar bahasa. Grammar tidak hanya wajib dipelajari, tapi juga harus diamalkan. Meski demikian, ternyata masih banyak yang menganggap belajar bahasa tidak belajar grammar. Tidak hanya orang bule, tapi juga berbagai instansi, lembagai pelatihan bahasa, kursus dll juga masih banyak yang beranggapan seperti itu. Lihat saja, banyak ‘iklan’ bertebaran di berbagai ‘spanduk’ yang menawarkan program  ‘lancar bahasa inggris tanpa grammar’
 

Bagi saya, grammar tetap wajib dipelajari (baca:belajar grammar itu wajib) meski kita sedang belajar berbicara (Speaking ) atau berlatih percakapan bahasa Inggris. Keberadaan Grammar tidak boleh tergeser dengan dalih apapun. Alasan ini mungkin ditolak oleh beberapa ‘penyedia spanduk’ program ‘lancar cas-cis-cus bahasa inggris tanpa grammar’ tersebut. Namun, saya akan tetap ngotot sekuat tenaga bahwa grammar itu penting meski kita sedang dalam hipnotis ‘spanduk lancar bicara bahasa Inggris tanpa grammar.’
 

Lancar bicara bahasa Inggris bergantung pada kemauan anda untuk berlatih percakapan bahasa Inggris. (baca: Cara Ekstrim Lancar Percakapan Bahasa Inggris). Jika anda tidak memiliki kemauan untuk beralatih speaking, anda tentu kehilangan syarat wajib lancar berbicara Bahasa Inggris.
 

Selain tekad dan kemauan untuk berlatih percakapan, anda juga dituntut untuk mengetahui berbagai kosakata bahasa Inggris yang tepat. Semisal saja, jika kita sedang berada di kebun binatang, tentu topik pembicaraan kita adalah mengenai fauna, satwa, binatang atau hewan. Oleh karena itulah kosakata bahasa Inggris tentang binatang perlu anda kuasai. Jika tidak, maka sia-sia saja anda terjebak dalam ‘spanduk lancar berbahasa Inggris tanpa grammar’.
 

Dalam berlatih percakapan bahasa Inggris, kedua hal di atas jelas memiliki pengaruh yang besar. Bagi orang yang memiliki kemauan dalam mengawali pembicaraan dengan orang lain, maka dia memiliki kesempatan untuk terus meningkatkan kemampuan percakapannya. Namun jika seseorang tidak memiliki satu hasrat pun untuk bertanya dan mengawali pembicaraan bahasa Inggris, maka jangan harap anda memiliki kesempatan lancar bahasa Inggris (baca: 9 Pertanyaan pembuka percakapan bahasa Inggris)
 

Dari uraian diatas, tidak ada satu alasan pun bahwa grammar merusak kelancaran speaking anda. Yang ada hanyalah bahwa grammar perlu dilupakan dalam speaking bahasa Inggris, bukankah demikian?

Dongeng Bahasa Inggris - Jack Si Pemalas

Dongeng bahasa Inggris kali ini akan menghadirkan kisah si Jack Si Pemalas. Meski hidup miskin bersama ibunya, ia tetap saja malas, lalu bagaimankah kisah dari dongeng bahasa Inggris tentang Jack si pemalas ini, yuk kita simak bersama-sama (Jangan Lupa buka kamus bahasa Inggris jika ada kosakata bahasa Inggris yang belum kita ketahui, Oke)

Once upon a time there was a boy whose name was Jack, and he lived with his mother on a common. They were very poor, and the old woman got her living by spinning, but Jack was so lazy that he would do nothing but bask in the sun in the hot weather, and sit by the corner of the hearth in the winter-time. So they called him Lazy Jack. His mother could not get him to do anything for her, and at last told him, one Monday, that if he did not begin to work for his porridge she would turn him out to get his living as he could.

This roused Jack, and he went out and hired himself for the next day to a neighbouring farmer for a penny; but as he was coming home, never having had any money before, he lost it in passing over a brook. "You stupid boy," said his mother, "you should have put it in your pocket." "I’ll do so another time," replied Jack.

On Wednesday, Jack went out again and hired himself to a cow-keeper, who gave him a jar of milk for his day’s work. Jack took the jar and put it into the large pocket of his jacket, spilling it all, long before he got home. "Dear me!" said the old woman; "you should have carried it on your head." "I’ll do so another time," said Jack.

So on Thursday, Jack hired himself again to a farmer, who agreed to give him a cream cheese for his services. In the evening Jack took the cheese, and went home with it on his head. By the time he got home the cheese was all spoilt, part of it being lost, and part matted with his hair. "You stupid lout," said his mother, "you should have carried it very carefully in your hands." "I’ll do so another time," replied Jack.

On Friday, Lazy Jack again went out, and hired himself to a baker, who would give him nothing for his work but a large tom-cat. Jack took the cat, and began carrying it very carefully in his hands, but in a short time pussy scratched him so much that he was compelled to let it go. When he got home, his mother said to him, "You silly fellow, you should have tied it with a string, and dragged it along after you." "I’ll do so another time," said Jack.

So on Saturday, Jack hired himself to a butcher, who rewarded him by the handsome present of a shoulder of mutton. Jack took the mutton, tied it to a string, and trailed it along after him in the dirt, so that by the time he had got home the meat was completely spoilt. His mother was this time quite out of patience with him, for the next day was Sunday, and she was obliged to make do with cabbage for her dinner. "You ninney-hammer," said she to her son; "you should have carried it on your shoulder." "I’ll do so another time," replied Jack.

On the next Monday, Lazy Jack went once more, and hired himself to a cattle-keeper, who gave him a donkey for his trouble. Jack found it hard to hoist the donkey on his shoulders, but at last he did it, and began walking slowly home with his prize. Now it happened that in the course of his journey there lived a rich man with his only daughter, a beautiful girl, but deaf and dumb. Now she had never laughed in her life, and the doctors said she would never speak till somebody made her laugh. This young lady happened to be looking out of the window when Jack was passing with the donkey on his shoulders, with the legs sticking up in the air, and the sight was so comical and strange that she burst out into a great fit of laughter, and immediately recovered her speech and hearing. Her father was overjoyed, and fulfilled his promise by marrying her to Lazy Jack, who was thus made a rich gentleman. They lived in a large house, and Jack’s mother lived with them in great happiness until she died. Taken from kidsgen

Distinguishing Adverbs (Emphasizers)

Menurut Frank (1972: 143) Distinguishing Adverbs atau dikenal juga dengan emphasizers adalah adverbs (kata keterangan) yang berfungsi untuk menegaskan / menekankan beberapa kata tertentu atau juga menegaskan konstruksi susunan gramatikalnya.

Beberapa macam distinguishing adverb (emphasizer) diantaranya adalah :

• especially = khususnya
• even = bahkan
• exactly = tepatnya
• just = hanya
• not = bukan (digunakan untuk hal yang berlawanan)
• only = hanya

Tidak seperti adverb (kata keterangan) pada umumnya (baca : fungsi adverb dalam grammar), adverb kategori emphasizer ini lebih condong berfungsi tidak umum. Mengapa demikian? Oke, distinguishing adverb atau emphasizer biasanya berfungsi menegaskan struktur grammar berikut ini :

Pertama, Noun (kata benda)

Contoh : 

Even John agreed to come.

We ordered two dozen roses, not one dozen.

Kedua, Pronoun (kata ganti)

Contoh :

Even they came late

Only she could not come

Ketiga, Prepositional Phrase (Frasa kata depan / Adverbial)

Contoh :

He went to the party only because of his wife.

Even during the performance he didn't stop talking.

Keempat, Subordinate Clause (Anak Kalimat)

Contoh :

I don't know exactly when I can come.

You shouldn't work so hard, especially after you've been ill.

Keterangan :

Kata yang berwarna merah adalah distinguishing adverb / emphasizer

Kata yang berwarna biru adalah kata atau susunan grammatikal yang ditegaskan / dijelaskan oleh distinguishing adverb.

Dongeng Bahasa Inggris - Rapunzel, Wanita Rambut Panjang

Rapunzel adalah Dongeng Bahasa Inggris asal Jerman yang menceritakan tentang sepasang kekasih yang mengharapkan hadirnya momongan, lalu bagaimana kisah selanjutnya? Silahkan buka kamus bahasa inggris jika ada kosakata bahasa inggris yang belum dipahami. Selamat Membaca :

There was once a couple who had long in vain wished for a child. At length the woman hoped that God was about to grant her desire. They had a little window at the back of their house from which a splendid garden could be seen, which was full of beautiful flowers and herbs. It was, however, surrounded by a high wall, and no one dared to go into it because it belonged to an enchantress, who had great power and was dreaded by all the world. 

One day the woman was standing by this window and looking down into the garden, when she saw a bed which was planted with the most beautiful rampion - rapunzel, and it looked so fresh and green that she longed for it, and had the greatest desire to eat some. This desire increased every day, and as she knew that she could not get any of it, she quite pined away, and began to look pale and miserable. Her husband was alarmed, and asked, "what makes you sad, dear wife." "Ah", she replied, "if I can't eat some of the rampion, which is in the garden behind our house, I shall die". The man, who loved her, thought, sooner than let your wife die, bring her some of the rampion yourself, let it cost what it will. At twilight, he clambered down over the wall into the garden of the enchantress, hastily clutched a handful of rampion, and took it to his wife. She at once made herself a salad of it, and ate it greedily. It tasted so good to her - so very good, that the next day she longed for it three times as much as before.

If he was to have any rest, her husband must once more descend into the garden. In the gloom of evening, therefore, he let himself down again. But when he had clambered down the wall he was terribly afraid, for he saw the enchantress standing before him. "How dare you", said she with angry look, "descend into my garden and steal my rampion like a thief. You shall suffer for it". He answered, "let mercy take the place of justice, I only made up my mind to do it out of necessity. My wife saw your rampion from the window, and felt such a longing for it that she would have died if she had not got some to eat". Then the enchantress allowed her anger to be softened, and said to him, if the case be as you say, I will allow you to take away with you as much rampion as you will, only I make one condition, you must give me the child which your wife will bring into the world. It shall be well treated, and I will care for it like a mother.

The man in his terror consented to everything, and when the woman was brought to bed, the enchantress appeared at once, gave the child the name of Rapunzel, and took it away with her. Rapunzel grew into the most beautiful child under the sun.

When she was twelve years old, the enchantress shut her into a tower, which lay in a forest, and had neither stairs nor door, but quite at the top was a little window. When the enchantress wanted to go in, she placed herself beneath it and cried, "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair to me".

Rapunzel had magnificent long hair, fine as spun gold, and when she heard the voice of the enchantress she unfastened her braided tresses, wound them round one of the hooks of the window above, and then the hair fell twenty ells down, and the enchantress climbed up by it.

After a year or two, it came to pass that the king's son rode through the forest and passed by the tower. Then he heard a song, which was so charming that he stood still and listened. This was
Rapunzel, who in her solitude passed her time in letting her sweet voice resound. The king's son wanted to climb up to her, and looked for the door of the tower, but none was to be found. He rode home, but the singing had so deeply touched his heart, that every day he went out into the forest and listened to it. 

Once when he was thus standing behind a tree, he saw that an enchantress came there, and he heard how she cried, "If that is the ladder by which one mounts, I too will try my fortune". thought he, and the next day when it began to grow dark, he went to the tower and cried, "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair". Immediately the hair fell down and the king's son climbed up. At first Rapunzel was terribly frightened when a man, such as her eyes had never yet beheld, came to her. But the king's son began to talk to her quite like a friend, and told her that his heart had been so stirred that it had let him have no rest, and he had been forced to see her. Then rapunzel lost her fear, and when he asked her if she would take him for her husband, and she saw that he was young and handsome, she thought, he will love me more than old dame gothic does. And she said yes, and laid her hand in his. She said, I will willingly go away with you, but I do not know how to get down. Bring with you a skein of silk every time that you come, and I will weave a ladder with it, and when that is ready I will descend, and you will take me on your horse. They agreed that until that time he should come to her every evening, for the old woman came by day. The enchantress remarked nothing of this, until once Rapunzel said to her, tell me, how it happens that you are so much heavier for me to draw up than the young king's son - he is with me in a moment. Ah. You wicked child, cried the enchantress. What do I hear you say. I thought I had separated you from all the world, and yet you have deceived me. In her anger she clutched rapunzel's beautiful tresses, wrapped them twice round her left hand, seized a pair of scissors with the right, and snip, snap, they were cut off, and the lovely braids lay on the ground. And she was so pitiless that she took poor rapunzel into a desert where she had to live in great grief and misery.

On the same day that she cast out rapunzel, however, the enchantress fastened the braids of hair, which she had cut off, to the hook of the window, and when the king's son came and cried, rapunzel, rapunzel, let down your hair, she let the hair down. The king's son ascended, but instead of finding his dearest rapunzel, he found the enchantress, who gazed at him with wicked and venomous looks. Aha, she cried mockingly, you would fetch your dearest, but the beautiful bird sits no longer singing in the nest. The cat has got it, and will scratch out your eyes as well. 

Rapunzel is lost to you. You will never see her again. The king's son was beside himself with pain, and in his despair he leapt down from the tower. He escaped with his life, but the thorns into which he fell pierced his eyes. Then he wandered quite blind about the forest, ate nothing but roots and berries, and did naught but lament and weep over the loss of his dear wife. Thus he roamed about in misery for some years, and at length came to the desert where Rapunzel, with the twins to which she had given birth, a boy and a girl, lived in wretchedness. He heard a voice, and it seemed so familiar to him that he went towards it, and when he approached, Rapunzel knew him and fell on his neck and wept. Two of her tears wetted his eyes and they grew clear again, and he could see with them as before. He led her to his kingdom where he was joyfully received, and they lived for a long time afterwards, happy and contented.

Guru Bahasa Inggris Paling Gaul

Apakah anda memiliki guru bahasa Inggris yang gaul abis? Atau guru bahasa Inggris anda tidak gaul? ah.. Tentu itu relative. Karena untuk mengetahui guru bahasa Inggris kita gaul atau tidak, kita tentu harus mengetahui makna gaul itu sendiri. Untuk itu, mari kita pahami makna gaul dalam Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia, berikut ini :

ga ul, ber ga ul v hidup berteman (bersahabat): ia tidak suka ~ dng orang yg tidak berpangkat;
meng ga ul v mencampur; mengaduk; membancuh: ia ~ nasi itu dng kuah;
meng ga uli v 1 mencampuri; 2 cak menyetubuhi; mempergauli: suami harus ~ istrinya dng baik;
meng ga ul kan v mencampurkan; mengadukkan: ia ~ beberapa butir telur pd adonan itu; per ga ul an n 1 perihal bergaul; 2 kehidupan bermasyarakat;
mem per ga uli v mengajak bergaul; menggauli: ia hanya mau ~ orang yg sederajat dng dia;
mem per ga ul kan v mencampurkan; menggaulkan; mempertemankan: ayahnya ~ anaknya dng anak-anak di kampungnya 

 

. 

Dari definisi gaul diatas, dapat kita simpulkan bahwa guru gaul adalah guru yang bersahabat, enak diajak ngobrol, ibarat teman sendiri. (Pendapat Subyektif)

Nah, lalu siapa guru bahasa Inggris paling gaul yang enak diajak ngobrol dan ibarat teman kita sendiri? Mungkin anda memiliki pendapat subyektif mengenai siapa guru bahasa Inggris paling gaul, begitu juga saya. 

Seperti halnya pada posting sebelumnya, memang sudah saya sebutkan beberapa nama dan alamat tempat kursus bahasa Inggris di Jakarta. Namanya juga Jakarta, Daerah Khusus Ibukota pasti memiliki berbagai macam orang gaul, dari anak kecil hingga dewasa. Dari pekerja buruh hingga tutor atau guru bahasa Inggris pun mungkin banyak yang gaul.

Akan tetapi, tidak satupun dari dari guru bahasa Inggris di sana "kelihatan" gaul, baik guru lokal dalam negeri ataupun dari luar negeri, semuanya kelihatan tidak bersahabat (bagi saya) dan terlalu formal.

Lalu, siapa guru bahasa Inggris paling gaul (versi saya)?, jika tidak keberatan ini dia guru bahasa Inggris paling gaul yang pernah saya temukan. Silahkan menuju ke halaman facebook guru bahasa Inggris paling gaul  di bawah ini :

Guru Bahasa Inggris Paling Gaul 

Ia adalah pemilik MARVELOUS ANGLOPHILES COMMUNITY AND COURSE - Pare - Kediri - Jawa Timur.
