Indonesian blogging

Selamat sore!

I decided to do a blog instead of a normal journal for the Indonesian journal assessment because I find that I'm almost always on the computer, and I believe in CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning). :) I believe this will be the first 'official' student Indonesian language learning blog at my uni... or even the world. haha I guess that this will just be a trial, since my teacher, Bu Indra, doesn't really know what an online journal is.

Salam
Angie
