文化的背景

The 'Taman Bacaan' (Reading Garden) is a unique cultural institution where volunteers set up small libraries in their homes or parks to encourage literacy. Known as the 'City of Students', Yogyakarta has a very high density of people reading in cafes and public spaces. The first word revealed in the Quran is 'Iqra', which means 'Read'. This gives the act of reading a spiritual significance for many Indonesians. Reading is becoming a 'cool' aesthetic on Instagram (Bookstagram Indonesia), often paired with aesthetic cafe shots.

🎯

Drop the prefix

If you want to sound like a local in a cafe, always say 'baca' instead of 'membaca'.

⚠️

The 'C' sound

Never pronounce 'baca' as 'baka'. It's always 'ba-cha'.
