Out Now - Indonesian
Language Learning CD-ROM
Produced by Protoavis Productions
in Melbourne, Australia, and distributed by IBS Infotech, Australia’s leading
language software distributer, Bahasa Kita takes a fresh approach to language
learning by CD.
Importantly, it does not assume you know the language
before starting. It can stand alone as a learning method, taking
the newcomer to the language step by step from the very beginning.
It has plenty of interactive exercises and spoken
examples. It also has clear explanations of the language structure.
It allows you to progess a substantial way into the Indonesian language,
and is designed with the needs of both students and business people in
mind.
There are concise cultural notes which give advice
on how to manage personal interactions and social customs while in Indonesia.
Examples of personal and business letters are provided, and can be extracted
into “Windows Write” to serve as examples or templates. Many units
address both a specific area of language and a particular situation.
Navigation through the 12 units is very simple and
at all stages there is access to a talking dictionary which includes most
of the words used in the CD ROM. Within the language practice there
is useful information for the traveller to Indonesia. Throughout
the program, you can choose from various options, for example, spoken English
translations can be turned on or off.
Many of the exercises can even be used for Indonesians
to practise English.
If your computer has a microphone and standard sound
software, you can practise speaking the language by calling up Windows
“Sound Recorder” from within the program, to record your voice and compare
with that of native Indonesian speakers.
Games include four crossword puzzles and a computerised
“hangman” game.
If you want to take a break, or are thinking of travelling
to Indonesia, you can access a slide show with photos covering a range
of places and social contrasts.
The Bahasa Kita CD-ROM requires a Multimedia PC running
Windows with at least 16Mb RAM and 8Mb disk space.
