When learning another language, please be prepared to make mistakes. Remember when we were little kids? We couldn't pronounce words correctly. (Pelat...) We also used the wrong word at the wrong time.
For example, Muhammad (6) and Musa (5) thought that merdeka meant 'flag'. They'd say, "Look Abi, the car has merdeka" or "Merdeka can't do anything... they can just terbang-terbang". Then we explained what merdeka is all about - how the country is free from colonization. Ooops! "What's 'colonization' Abi?" That's when other people control our country. Before this.. (and the history lesson started).
So, please... no matter how old we are, when we are learning another language please be willing to be a kid again.
Just let the words out from your month. Get excited to experiment with words.
It's OK to make mistakes. After all, we are still learning.

Why are the clogs at the back with three light blues and one pink. You mean a pair of blue clogs and an unpair clogs? That kind of clog selection may be good for the kids but not for english.
You must be superman's cousin. You see things that people don't. Bravo!
FYI, those clogs are from our 1st and 2nd purchases. we bought a new pair shortly after the painting session.
Now, no more clogs....just "selipar jepun"...
