    Hmmm, it never occurred to me to learn a foreign language just to keep up with the local jokes, especially a language which has three distinct levels. Good luck with your studies. A private tutor would be a good way to go, and a “sleeping dictionary” even better! :oops:

    I can realy relate to that you want to learn bahasa bali. I speak a little bahasa indonesia, the problem is eveybodey speak bahasa bali in my husbands village, I dont understand anything and have to ask all the time what they talking about. the problem to learn the language is the 3 levels. when I learn something I dont know who I can say that to, I have to use different level all the time so I have given up. :oops:

    Hi Ilu,

    It was happened before with my husband. Now he can understand balinese, even sometimes misunderstanding with some balinese words that are the same like Indonesian but different meaning (he's fluent in Indonesian). Well Ilu, if you just want to understand and more communicatif in your husband's village, I suggest you to learn Balinese Kapara. But if your husband have kasta, better you learn Balinese Sor Singgih...

    Regards,

    Iris
