Nice to meet you Senang bertemu denganmu

/naɪs tə miːt juː/

Bab terakhir! Pelajari 10 kata baru (meet, again, together, everyone, know, see, say, eat, drink, love) dan kumpulkan semua yang telah dipelajari — kata kerja be, have, kata ganti, kata sandang, -s jamak, kata tanya, preposisi — ke dalam percakapan alami untuk berlatih. Tidak ada tata bahasa baru. Pojok pelafalan memeriksa penyambungan bunyi — mengucapkan kata secara tersambung seperti "nice to meet you". Tema pojok budaya adalah "Kesopanan tanpa bentuk hormat".

Nice to Meet You — Senang Bertemu Denganmu

  1. Emma Hi! I'm Emma. Nice to meet you. Hai! Saya Emma. Senang bertemu denganmu.
  2. Minsu Hello! I Minsu. Halo! Saya Minsu. (kesalahan: kata kerja be hilang — "I am Minsu")
  3. Emma Nice to meet you, Minsu! You know Jack? Senang bertemu denganmu, Minsu! Kamu kenal Jack?
  4. Minsu Yes, I know Jack. Nice to see you again! Ya, saya kenal Jack. Senang bertemu lagi!

Together Again — Bersama Lagi

  1. Jack Come, Minsu! We eat together. Everyone is there. Sini, Minsu! Kita makan bersama. Semua orang ada di sana.
  2. Minsu I see everyone again. I love this! Saya bertemu semua orang lagi. Saya suka ini!
  3. Jack Yes! Eat and drink, Minsu. Ya! Makan dan minum, Minsu.
  4. Minsu We are together again. Nice to see everyone! Kita bersama lagi. Senang bertemu semua orang!

Putting it all together Menyatukan semuanya

No new grammar this time — just a review of the whole book. To introduce yourself and talk about your world, combine the pieces you know: "be" (I am, you are, it is), "have" (I have, she has), pronouns and possessives (my, your, his, her), "a/an" with the singular and "-s" with the plural (a book / two books), wh-questions (what, where, which, how many), and prepositions (in, on, under). For example: "Hi, I am Minsu. I have two sisters. This is my bag — it is on the table. Nice to meet you!" Every sentence here uses rules from earlier chapters. That is the whole of Band 1.

Kali ini tidak ada tata bahasa baru — hanya mengulang seluruh buku. Untuk memperkenalkan diri dan berbicara tentang duniamu, gabungkan bagian-bagian yang sudah dipelajari: "be" (I am, you are, it is), "have" (I have, she has), kata ganti dan kepemilikan (my, your, his, her), "a/an" untuk tunggal dan "-s" untuk jamak (a book / two books), kata tanya (what, where, which, how many), dan preposisi (in, on, under). Contoh: "Hi, I am Minsu. I have two sisters. This is my bag — it is on the table. Nice to meet you!" Setiap kalimat di sini memakai aturan dari bab-bab sebelumnya. Itulah keseluruhan Band 1.

  • Hi! I am Minsu. Nice to meet you. /haɪ aɪ æm ˈmɪnsuː naɪs tə miːt juː/ Hai! Saya Minsu. Senang bertemu denganmu.
  • I have two brothers and one sister. /aɪ hæv tuː ˈbrʌðərz ænd wʌn ˈsɪstər/ Saya punya dua saudara laki-laki dan satu saudara perempuan.
  • What's this? It's my bag. It's on the table. /wʌts ðɪs ɪts maɪ bæɡ ɪts ɒn ðə ˈteɪbl/ Ini apa? Ini tas saya. Ada di atas meja.
  • I know everyone. See you again! /aɪ noʊ ˈevriwʌn siː juː əˈɡen/ Saya kenal semua orang. Sampai jumpa lagi!

Politeness without honorifics Kesopanan tanpa bentuk hormat

Bahasa Inggris tidak punya sistem tingkat tutur hormat — tidak ada akhiran kata kerja yang naik atau turun menurut status lawan bicara, seperti sebagian bahasa yang berganti antara tutur sopan dan biasa. Kesopanan justru terbawa oleh kata dan nada: kata kecil apa yang Anda tambahkan, dan seberapa hangat terdengarnya.

"Please" dan "thank you" yang bekerja

Adding "please", "thank you", "sorry", and "excuse me" is how you stay polite in English — and speakers use them far more often than a Korean speaker might expect. "Coffee, please" and "Thank you!" carry the courtesy that a raised speech level would carry in Korean. Leaving them out does not sound neutral; it sounds blunt.

Perhalus, bukan menaikkan tingkat

Where Korean would raise the speech level, English softens the words around the request. "Could you…", "Would you mind…", and "Maybe we could…" make an ask gentler without any change to the verb endings. The full forms come in later bands, but the instinct starts now: to be polite, wrap the request, do not re-conjugate it.

"Sorry", kehangatan, dan tanpa membungkuk

English speakers say "sorry" a lot — for bumping into someone, interrupting, even for mishearing. It is social lubrication, not a deep apology. And there is no bow: a nod, a smile, and eye contact do the work instead. Over-formality can even read as cold, so keep your tone warm and friendly.

Jika ragu, tambahkan "please", "thank you", dan "sorry" dengan murah hati dan jaga nada tetap hangat — itu mencakup sebagian besar yang dilakukan bentuk hormat dalam sebagian bahasa.
