PAT pernah dinominasikan nobel 6x. Pram menulis bukan utk hadiah. Dia menulis utk dibaca. Bacalah dan bakarlah .....mu. Indonesia membangun melalui membaca sehingga bisa menulis - Soesilo Toer #Keynote #prasidatama

Sunan itu suhu dari selatan, daratan cina. Kita mengambil bahasa dr seluruh dunia utk mjd bahasa kita. Pak soes dr org yg dulu dibungkam kini mjd manusia yg bermain dg kepedihan - soesilo toer #keynotespeaker #prasidatama

Novel dunia samin ditulis soesilo toer selama 30 thn. Tokoh Samin adl pemikir bebas ketika kebebasan belum lagi datang kala itu. Samin dg kejujuran dan strateginya membuat taktik melawan Belanda. teks2 samin mengilhami ahimsa. Ditulis dg bhs sederhana, tanpa akrobatik




Samin yg belajar pd alam. Samin yg kritis. Samin yg menembus kebohongan2. Di bagian terakhir bahkan ditulis dg gaya post mo. Manusia hrsnya tidak serakah. #DuniaSamin #SoesiloToer


Kepala BBJ meluncurkan empat terbitan BBJ hasil lomba tahun ini. Ada antologi cerita anak yang ada dua ceritaku juga. Ada kumpulan puisi. Ada kumpulan naskah lakon.  Dan antologi Behind The Scene alias proses kreatif berkesenian para sastrawan Jawa Tengah.


Acara hari itu dihadiri para sastrawan dari seluruh Jawa Tengah. Digelar pula pembacaan puisi, musikalisasi puisi dll.



Dalam kesempatan itu alhamdulillah aku juga jumpa lagi dengan pengarang favorit dan idolaku.

Seneng banget tadi ketemu lagi ama pak Ahmad Tohari dan melihat beliau sehat,tampak tenang,bahagia. Nggak nulis novel lagi, pak? Beliau menggeleng2, "sudah capek. Tapi cerpenku ada di Kompas 7 Oktober kmrn." Terakhir nulis novel apa pak? Orang2 proyek Waduh, sdh lama bgt itu

Kenapa kok gak nulis novel lagi, pak? (soalnya aku tahu bu NH Dini 83 th usianya,msh nulis terus) "nulis novel tuh butuh pikiran dan kerja keras banget," ujar beliau sambil senyum getir, "belakangan royalti merosot terus.Buku cetak sdh tdk lagi digemari.Alhmdlh anak2 sdh mentas"

"Saya nulis terus kok gak pinter2 terus ya pak. Gimana caranya ya?" curcolku, makaudnya biar disuwuk mbuh disebul atau diiduni tapi ben lgs pinter ngono lho hehehe "ya pokoknya nulis terus ya," begitu resep pak Ahmad Tohari tadi. Nggih pak, bismillah insya Allah.

Here it is. My fave author, pak Ahmad Tohari, yang skrg concern ke spiritual dan umat. Finally someday we will be back to our origin habitat, pesantren. Just like cak nun dan sabrang yg bergerak dg maiyahnya. Hidup adl perjalanan. Let's enjoy the journey.

Honestly, I have no expectation at all when I decided to join this tour.I only need refreshing from my hectic periods nowadays.

But it is so wonderful that I finally get more than learning about language.


FRESH  AIR AND NICE SPACE

Many smile faces and warm people welcoming us when we arrived at this desa bahasa. Many of them are still so young. Can you believe this, they are still teenagers but also teaching many elder people to drive them speak and get conversation in English fluently.

We can enjoy the sound of angklung music which accompanying us that morning. Some pleasant gazebo offer the fresh and free ambience.

Desa Bahasa creates the comfortable environment, not only for that language habit goal, but also for the excitement of learners. This combination could be some of benefit and strength of this place. Especially if we compare it with another space which offer same services.

SHIFTING MINDSET

Mr. Hani presents his 'mind game' on projector that automatically shifting audience's mindset. That actually we need no more grammar for this purpose. We only need to speak English fluently where our partner could understand what we want to say. And reverse.

This new mindset however can make us more brave and not doubt anymore to speak English. Not afraid to make mistakes etc.

HAVING THAN MORE FUN

Laughing together with  great sisters under trainer's instruction make me forget for a while with my problems. Desa Bahasa create many techniques so we can learn English easier and more fun. I heard that maybe there are more than one hundred techniques. Can you believe this? More than 100! Wow!

But because of short time, we can only apply some techniques. Some of them is applied by game and outbound. Very excited!

Beside of above benefits, I also learn many many more lessons from the institution and also the founder. This is definitely one of best moment in my life. A milestone which make me think a lot, contemplate further and also will take action soon immediately. Wish me luck!



Thanks a lot, sisters!
Thanks a lot, desa bahasa and tera!

So long. See you again!

Literacy, literally, literary

Kita sering mendengar atau membaca ketiga istilah ini.  Namun mungkin tidak semua orang tahu dan paham makna dan perbedaannya.

Begini menurut salah seorang mentor mrnulisku.

Literary itu sastra inggil.

Literacy itu melek huruf.

Literally itu secara harfiah.

Sedangkan kalau penjelasannya versi temanku yang baru saja jadi runner up award international writing competition,  sebagai berikut.

The Great Gatsby is one of the highlights of American LITERARY fiction.

We wish to increase the LITERACY amongst the villagers.

I told you, he's LITERALLY a carbon copy of Mickey Mouse.

Gitchu. Semoga membantu ya :)
