The world's easiest language is NOT what you expect

This is my 60 second #shorts review of Indonesian, the world's easiest language. Despite how different it is from English, once you try learning this outrageously elegant language you’ll very quickly be asking yourself, why don’t all languages do it like this?! The grammar, pronunciation, and writing system are all extremely simple and elegant compared with supposedly "easy" languages like Spanish or French.

[pingtime]

Indonesia Language is made to be simple, you can't unite hundreds of tribes with their own mother tongue with hard to understand national language (most of us spoke it as second language)

[AjiRahman]

as an Indonesian, this easiness make me difficult to learn another languages. 😅

[anovosedlik]

'Mouse mouse' is dope. I drink beer beer to that now.

As a Greek, I am jealous. Why is the balcony door a girl

When I moved to Malaysia as a teenage girl I absolutely LOVED the way plurals were constructed in Bahasa Malaysia. Just say the word twice. It did make me giggle once: the first time I heard “ladies and gentlemen” in a speech: “Puan-puan dan tuan-tuan”. Then I realised it sounds like the start of a poem…

The hardest part of leaning either Indonesian or Malay is to get to practice… people kept switching to English!

I love how xiaomanyc’s face just turns red to squeeze his video in a minute

[oxqlion]

ah yes, in Indonesia we do say "look at that mouse - mouse". Basically, if it's plural just say it twice.

Bahasa Indonesia definitely one of the easiest language to learn, but rather hard for foreigner to speak. Especially for those who speak English, and Indonesians rarely speak formal language in daily uses. Indonesians love to speak using a lot of slang words

[youtb-user]

Another fact about Indonesian: about 90% or more of Indonesian people's first language or mother tongue language is not Indonesian. Most of Indonesian people's mother tongue language is vernacular language based on region where they born/grow up in Indonesia. There are even some people in some regions in Indonesia that really can't speak Indonesian.

English :
Struggling to not assume pronouns
Indonesian :
Why do words need to have gender?

[aahhhhhhh]

If Xiaomanyc run out of languages to learn, He'd start learning to speak to animals

[hydroclaws]

I am currently learning indonesian and it is definitely being the easiest language to learn based on the languages I have tried to learn and quit randomly, and also learning it makes me want to learn it more because of the amount of progress I already have!

[Melissafullofgrace]

Sounds like a language I would love to learn. Short, sweet and to the point!

[nathanaelmoses]

English : there are many plural form in my language!

Indonesia : hehe repeat them twice goes

[Miuoshki]

Indonesian be like "why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?"

[AbrahamCollins]

Bahasa Indonesa was one of my favorite languages to learn. It's been a long time since I've put it to use.

[smurfiennes]

It’s easy to learn it, just memorize the words and put them together to form a sentence. Done.
