Welcome to Bahasa Brian

Selamat datang!

My name is Brian Greco, I'm 15 years old, and I'm from Pennsylvania. Welcome to my new blog, Bahasa Brian, featuring my journey learning Bahasa Indonesia, the national language of Indonesia.

I created this blog because I am a lover of languages. And while I appreciate just about any place, the heart of my interest has always been with Asia and its creative and exotic languages. Indonesia's simplicity and lilting sound and grammar drew me in from the start.

Indonesia is a place that's always fascinated me and I'm dying to go there one day. Having ordered a bunch of Indonesian language textbooks for my collection, I've decided to start learning and see where it takes me.

I've also been inspired recently by the prospective interest of studying abroad in Indonesia or elsewhere in Asia, through a high school exchange program such as the American Field Service (AFS). How awesome of an experience it would be to attend school and truly live the culture of a place like Indonesia! We'll see.

Over the years I've started many projects and blogs and often have fallen out with them. I'm looking forward to a fresh start with this new website, Bahasa Brian, and invite you to join me as we venture into the world of this amazing Asian archipelago, Indonesia!

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to comment, email me, and subscribe to the blog with the form on your right to stay in the know with new stuff.

Selamat belajar! (Good luck with your studies!)
