Well, it’s been a long time since last time I wrote a post in english. Now, I want to write again in english, something short, while my brain is still fresh.
Textbook (buku referensi or buku teks in Indonesian), you can say it is my “daily meal”. In fact, textbook has always been my “daily meal” since the 3rd semester. In my fourth year like now I cannot afford to spare my time without textbook (what a lie…
). I feel like, my relationship with textbooks is getting more intense when I’m doing my thesis. In my major, you will find it difficult to find indonesian textbook. Almost all of it was written by foreign professors, lecturers, or experts. Even, at the beginning of my third semester, our professor ordered us to read dutch textbooks (of course we can’t read it.. >__<“).

Look! It is all in english!

Look! The cover is in english too!
Although I’ve read many books since my 3rd semester, I still have it difficult to understand its meaning. I’m still not used to it. The problem is not in translation process, but in understanding its meaning (contextual meaning). There are so many terms in english that were difficult to be translated into Indonesian.
Our lecturers (who speak fluent english) always gives us a list of reference books at their own will. For each course (subject, mata kuliah) can be more than five books, all in english. If there are seven courses in each semester, it means we have 35 books to read. Wow…
Inevitably, we should like to read ‘em all.
I just can’t forget what my lecturer said, “you’ll get used to it if you keep reading english books”.
Hfffffttt… I hope I can read a textbook like I read a novel. :D

Well then, I should get going now. I have an appointment with my lecturer. Hope my draft is approved. ^__^

Huaaaa makasih doanya, Bunda! ^__^
I barely know someone who loves textbook – as for me, I never even bought it, since it never been used for in most of my classes… paling juga awal-awalnya, but will be neglected soon enough
Kutubuku lu ya ternyata ehehe.
Yap, sama kayak mahasiswa jaman sekarang. ga pernah mau fotokopi satu buku teks. Maunya cuman mau fotokopi per bab sesuai dengan yang dibutuhkan di setiap pelajaran. Udah gitu, beberapa semester kemudian pas ditanya di mana fotokopiannya, jawabnya ga tahu, hilang…
hi ..
nice post ..
Can we exchange links?
thanks
oh…good luck bro!
*siapin budget wat beli buku neh mw masuk semester III*
dan kebanyakan textbook itu dibeli dari dunia baru hihi

Coba kopi aja semua itu ke google-translate, Mbak.
lagian kalok mbaca tekbuk indonesia, jadinya malah tambah bingung bukannya tambah ngerti

text book perlu bgt tuh kemaren waktu gw gi nyusun thesis, buat bibloigraphi
kalo aku malah wajib baca novel bahasa inggris kak. nanti pas semester 5 baru deh textbook bahasa inggris terus di presentasiin. 1 minggu 1 buku errrrrrrrr
Yes… textbook is a great and reliable resources for student. Most of the textbooks are written based on relevant studies published in various journals. Btw, I am familiar with English Medical Textbooks, I have translated many of their chapters into Bahasa
Wow…. hebat Mas Masdin.. Terutama untuk buku kedokteran, saya rasa semua berbahasa inggris ya Mas…
Saya salut dengan mahasiswa kedokteran yang harus menghafal bertumpuk-tumpuk buku teks yang tebal dan berbahasa asing.
Berharap bisa baca textbook kayak baca novel…
hmmm..bisa gak ya…
Saya pengennya sih gitu…
wadow……… ada yang bahasa madura kagak?
Sayang sekali gak ada.
I just could say that “I hope U can read those textbooks like u read a novel.”
LoL

Kok nggak ngomong, Mbak?
sejak sekolah sampe sekarang, paling gak suka disuruh baca text book. ngantuk! hahaha.
lebih suka kalo ada yang ngejelasin trus gua catet sendiri. belajarnya lebih enak…
Kayaknya kita sama, Mas Arman, sama2 bisa ngerti kalo dijelasin secara khusus.
makanya saya agak kurang suka dengan perpustakaan saya, sedikit bukunya! (baca: banyakan buku bahasa inggris :-p ) sukses ya asop!
Makasih dukungannya.
Sama kayak perpus jurusan saya, dikit banget yang berbahasa indonesia.
good luck for the english

Gapapa, yang penting saya dapet dukungan.
You seem an interesting fellow.
Here, in Pakistan, we’re taught with English textbooks since kindergarten. That’s why I guess we get used studying in English
Good luck with your thesis.
Wow, in Pakistan? Aww man, I really want to be fluent with english since I was kid… But… Yeah, I can’t do anything about it. So I just need to learn it continously.
Jadi inget dulu semua textbook kuliah penuh coretan pensil dan stabilo, saking males nyatat di buku catatan. Begitu mau ujian, baru deh dibuka dan dibaca
Tapi belajar dari textbook bahasa Inggris, jadi lebih mudah paham, lho
Iya, belajar dari buku bahasa inggris emang lebih mudah paham ketimbang belajar dari buku terjemahan. Buku terjemahan bahasanya aneh.
mantep bro englishnya. lanjutkan
like everyone says dude. practice makes perfect. one day you’ll be d’bomb… hhahah
good luck with the english
Yap, practice makes perfect, and I don’t have enough patience to wait for the result.
yeiy a post in english! were you triggered by me? *geer mampus*
my textbooks are my breakfast
hahaa..
but seriously.. you rather prefer to read those textbooks in english than bahasa, rite? i bet you understand it better in english
Okay, honestly, maybe right, maybe wrong.
I was impressed by the students of industrial engineering. I’ve seen you all bring big, thick book, and in english for sure. I really envy you, guys.
Yap, the translated version of textbook (in indonesian) is more difficult to understand when compared to the original version (in english).

i love text books,it has many advantages..as spare pillow,as an additional foothold when i had to fix the lamp, even as defense tool if i accidentally met bad guy, i really get used to it now:P
Aduh, lumayan juga ditimpuk ama buku teks setebal 200 halaman…
died while standing (baca : mati berdiri), for this case there is one proverb or maybe a curse, “buku terbuka, mata terpejam”
