Cesen, Marshel Widianto's Wife, Quietly Learns Mandarin to French

Yansen Indiani or Cesen is known as a very productive person who cannot stay still even after becoming a housewife. After completing her master's degree, Marshel Widianto's wife actually increased her activities by studying various foreign languages.

Marshel recounted a funny moment when he suddenly realized that his wife was seriously studying Mandarin in their house. Cesen did this independently through online courses to fill her free time, which felt empty after graduating from college.

"I was shocked when I suddenly thought, 'Why is there someone speaking Mandarin in my room?' Oh, it turns out she was having a Zoom meeting, talking with someone in Mandarin. I was confused, I said, this is a house in Cibubur, not Glodok," said Marshel Widianto when met in the Kapten Tendean area, Mampang, South Jakarta, recently.

Cesen acknowledges that she has indeed been accustomed to a very busy schedule since she was young, even before joining the JKT48 group. If she doesn't have energy-draining activities, she actually feels confused and cannot sleep soundly at night.

Cesen's habit even led her to try learning French in addition to English and Mandarin. She does all this to prepare herself to educate her children with multilingual skills in the future.

"Actually, I want to do this because I think Marshel might not have time to teach the kids later, so I’m here. I want my children to have English and Mandarin as their everyday languages," Cesen explained her reasoning.

Marshel, as a husband, provides full support for his wife's very positive learning spirit. He feels helped because Cesen can cover the shortcomings of their parents in terms of academic teaching for their future children.

In addition to learning languages, Cesen also has a strong desire to return to social activities as a volunteer. She prefers direct interaction with the community in rural areas rather than teaching in a classroom as a lecturer.

"As for future plans for a PhD, maybe there isn't any yet, but I might want to continue learning other languages. Also, I want to continue because I like going to villages, you know, volunteering, that's right," explained the womanborn in Jakarta.

Cesen believes that children will imitate what their parents do, so he wants to provide a real example of the importance of education. By continually upgrading himself, he hopes his children will be motivated to pursue education as high as possible.
