Hi Nuke,
I believe this is most common problem for non native English speaker. But as stated in the other thread or maybe in this thread, even native English speaker could make mistake.
I am not sure what is exactly you saying, but I just guessing what you trying to say is that, you have a problem to listening the conversation?
mmmm.. maybe you should stop thinking to translate every words in English into Indonesian? Just acted like that English is our native language.
Or listening the music, song can be very good to exercising the hearing
come to wnks lounge if you like to talk more
