The dialogue, line by line

Maaf, saya tidak mengerti. Bisa ulangi?
Sorry, I do not understand. Could you repeat that?
Tentu. Saya bicara terlalu cepat, ya?
Of course. I was speaking too fast, wasn't I?
Iya. Tolong bicara pelan-pelan.
Yes. Please speak slowly.
Baik. Kamu belajar bahasa Indonesia di mana?
All right. Where are you learning Indonesian?
Sendiri, lewat aplikasi. Kurang lebih enam bulan.
By myself, through an app. About six months.
Bagus sekali untuk enam bulan.
That is very good for six months.
Saya rasa masih banyak yang saya tidak tahu.
I feel there is still a lot I do not know.
Wajar. Bisa pakai bahasa Inggris kalau susah.
That is natural. You can use English if it is hard.
Tidak usah. Saya pikir lebih baik latihan terus.
No need. I think it is better to keep practising.
Betul. Walaupun salah, orang tetap mengerti.
True. Even if you make mistakes, people still understand.
Kadang saya malu, ya kan wajar?
Sometimes I am embarrassed, that is normal, right?
Wajar sekali. Oleh karena itu, jangan berhenti berlatih.
Completely normal. Therefore, keep practising.
Omong-omong, kamu bisa bahasa apa lagi?
By the way, what other languages do you speak?
Bahasa Jawa sedikit. Sebagai contoh, matur nuwun artinya terima kasih.
A little Javanese. For example, matur nuwun means thank you.
