Kapanlagi.com - Indonesian is the mother tongue for most people in Indonesia. In daily life, Indonesian language is used for various needs, from communication to creation. However, not everyone can speak Indonesian fluently and correctly, including some local celebrities.

Despite having a career in the local entertainment industry, they still often struggle to speak Indonesian. They have various reasons that make them struggle with the Indonesian language. What are their reasons? And who are they?

Here are several lists of local celebrities who had difficulty speaking Indonesian.

 

 

 

 

1. Cinta Laura

Beautiful artist Cinta Laura has a distinctive way of speaking and managed to attract attention at the beginning of her career. Cinta started her career as an actress in the soap opera titled CINDERELLA in 2007. Despite having a 13-year career in Indonesia, Cinta still admits to having difficulty speaking Indonesian. She mentioned this when she appeared as a guest on Sandiaga Uno's podcast.

In the podcast, this Indonesian-German woman admitted that she moved to different countries during her childhood. This made her more accustomed to speaking English and made it difficult for her to master the Indonesian language. Nevertheless, Cinta still claims to be continuously learning Indonesian.

 

2. Boy William

Handsome actor and presenter Boy William also experienced a similar situation to Cinta Laura. Although born in Jakarta, Boy grew up abroad with his parents. This man, born on October 17, 1991, only returned to Indonesia in 2009. Since then, Boy has started his career as an MTV VJ. Until now, Boy is often seen mixing Indonesian and English when communicating.

 

3. Cassandra Lee

Foreign-looking soap opera actress, Cassandra Lee, still maintains her foreign accent until now. At first glance, the way this actress, who is familiarly called Cassie, speaks reminds us of Cinta Laura. Cassie also spent her childhood abroad and had difficulty adjusting to the language. However, as a professional actress, Cassandra continues to strive to improve her Indonesian language skills. In fact, in the movie TIGER BOY, Cassie also learned the Betawi accent.

 

4. Aurelie Moeremans

Aurelie Moeremans is an Indonesian-Belgian mixed celebrity. Aurelie also spent her childhood in her father's country, Belgium. Returning to Indonesia as a teenager, Aurelie was determined to try her luck in the entertainment industry. However, her limited Indonesian language skills were once a hindrance that caused her to fail during casting.

Nevertheless, now Aurelie proves that she is capable of mastering her parents' native language. Not only talented in acting, but now Aurelie is also skilled in singing Indonesian songs.

 

5. Isyana Sarasvati

Isyana Sarasvati often experiences tongue twisters when speaking in Bahasa Indonesia. This beautiful singer admits that she has limited ability to speak Bahasa Indonesia. This is because Isyana and her sister, Rara Sekar, spent a lot of their childhood in Belgium. Furthermore, as Isyana grew up, she pursued higher education abroad, which made her more fluent in speaking English.

 

6. Raline Shah

Raline Shah is one of the actresses with a very distinctive beautiful face of Indonesian women. However, Raline actually had difficulty pronouncing Bahasa Indonesia at the beginning of her career. According to Raline, speaking Bahasa Indonesia was her biggest challenge when starring in the movie 5 CM. This is because Raline usually communicates in English in her daily life, as her mother is from Singapore.

 

7. Azkanio Nikola Corbuzier

Azkanio Nikola Corbuzier or commonly known as Azka, the son of Deddy Corbuzier, has experienced bullying because he often speaks English. In various occasions, Azka is indeed seen more often using English to communicate.

However, Azka and Deddy Corbuzier have reasons for that. It turns out that Azka has been diagnosed with dyslexia, which makes it difficult for him to write and read. Deddy then decided to teach Azka English, which he considers easier to use as the language of instruction during learning.

So, those are some celebrities who have experienced difficulties in speaking Indonesian. Their perseverance in learning Indonesian deserves our admiration.
