Learn Bahasa Indonesia by Listening Indonesian Music : Efek Rumah Kaca I learned English by listening music. After I could get a grasp of what they talked about, I read a more complicated article, and the cycle goes on. Though my english is still not perfect, but i am fluent in conversational english. So I'd suggest this method for foreigner who wants to learn bahasa Indonesia. I don't like mainstream music. I'm a lot more into Indonesian indie music scene. No, I'm not a snob. But Indonesian mainstream music scene is all about love. And they got a similar style in one moment. When the trend switch into other style, they will follow it. So it isn't too interesting for me. Nowm I'd suggest Efek Rumah Kaca, a band. Hey, i don't know if you're into this genre, but they got a simple lyric (but has a deep meaning), and it is writen in standard bahasa Indonesia. The songs : Cinta Melulu (well, melulu isn't standard, but the other are pretty simple), Di Udara, Kau dan Aku Menuju Ruang Hampa, Mosi Tidak Percaya, Wah, the list would be long. They only got 2 albums 'til recently. I guess you could find it on Youtube. you could also go to efekrumahkaca.net. If you like them, you could support them. cheers :D Wikipedia : "Efek Rumah Kaca (English: Greenhouse Effect) is Indonesian indie rock band, formed in 2001.
