This is my family Ini keluarga saya
Setelah kata kerja atau kata depan, kata ganti berubah bentuk: I→me, he→him, they→them (I know her. This is for him.). Sambil melihat foto keluarga, latih gabungan be, have, dan kosakata keluarga, lalu pelajari our, their, these, those serta very, nice, want. Pojok budaya "Keluarga di Dunia Barat" membahas sedikitnya sebutan kerabat dalam bahasa Inggris dan kebiasaan memanggil nama. Pojok pelafalan melatih konsonan akhir (and, friend, child) tanpa menambahkan vokal.

Grammar
Object pronouns (me / him / them) kata ganti objek (me / him / them)
A pronoun has one form as the subject (before the verb) and another after a verb or a preposition. Subject → object: I→me, you→you, he→him, she→her, it→it, we→us, they→them. So the subject "He" knows the object "her": He knows her. After "for", "to", "with" too: This is for him. Korean marks the role with a particle (-을/를, -에게) instead of changing the word — but in English the word itself changes.
Kata ganti punya satu bentuk sebagai subjek (sebelum kata kerja) dan bentuk lain setelah kata kerja atau kata depan. Subjek → objek: I→me, you→you, he→him, she→her, it→it, we→us, they→them. Jadi subjek "He" mengenal objek "her": He knows her. Setelah "for", "to", "with" juga: This is for him. Banyak bahasa menandai peran dengan partikel atau urutan kata alih-alih mengubah kata — tetapi dalam bahasa Inggris katanya sendiri yang berubah.
- I know her. They like us. /aɪ noʊ hɜːr ðeɪ laɪk ʌs/ Saya mengenalnya. Mereka menyukai kami.
- This is for him. I see them. /ðɪs ɪz fɔːr hɪm aɪ siː ðem/ Ini untuknya. Saya melihat mereka.
- These are my parents. I love them. /ðiːz ɑːr maɪ ˈperənts aɪ lʌv ðem/ Ini orang tua saya. Saya menyayangi mereka.
Culture
Family in the West Keluarga di Dunia Barat
Bahasa Inggris punya kata kekerabatan jauh lebih sedikit daripada banyak bahasa — dan itu petunjuk tentang bagaimana keluarga dibicarakan. Sebutan lebih sedikit, lebih banyak nama panggilan, dan dorongan menuju kemandirian sejak dini.
Satu kata, tanpa usia
English "brother" and "sister" carry no age and no speaker-gender — there is nothing like 형/오빠/누나/언니. If age matters, you add "older" or "younger": my older brother, my younger sister. Otherwise one flat word covers everyone.
Tidak memakai sebutan kerabat untuk orang asing
You do not call an older stranger "brother" or "auntie". Kin terms stay literal — only for real relatives. For a stranger, "excuse me" is the polite opener, not a family word.
Keluarga inti sebagai default & kemandirian
"Family" often means just parents and kids, and many young adults move out and live on their own early. Blunt questions about marriage or salary can feel intrusive — the reverse of some Korean norms. Within the family, kids usually say "Mom" and "Dad", but call aunts and uncles by their first names.
Jika ragu, gunakan sebutan kerabat secara harfiah — hanya untuk kerabat sungguhan — dan tambahkan "older" atau "younger" hanya saat itu benar-benar penting.
