A Quarantine Comeback

We're back for another episode via a recorded zoom chat! Sorry in advance for the sound quality. We miss doing the podcast, and we've gotten some messages about our "disappearances" so here we are! In this episode we're talking about things we're doing during quarantine... (spoiler: it's a lot of cleaning), and some words to express our feelings during this pandemic.

Hopefully our listeners (wherever you are) are staying safe & healthy!

Love you guys,

C&K

Makan-Makan / Eating Out (Part 1)

Welcome to episode 2 of podcast Bule Belajar Bahasa! In this episode we get a little bit carried away as we talk about our favorite topic: food. Cindy teaches Kristen how to say the alphabet letters in Indonesian, as well as talking about how to order food, cook food, adjust taste in Bahasa Indonesia. This episode was so long that we had to split it up into 2 episodes (sorry not sorry)!
