When you read the title above, you might wonder about what jamu is. Jamu is Indonesian traditional medicine. Each area in Indonesia probably has different term about its traditional medicine, but the term “Jamu” is more familiar and popular.

The reason I write this article is that I read one article here written by Dimas. He wrote briefly about the traditional medicine and what his favorite recipe. What intrigued me was a comment from Noaslpls where she said she disliked Jamu since it had bitter

Suddenly I found myself staring at my laptop with a nothing to write. The most dreaded thing had happened to me. Am I finally hitting my writer's block? OHMY! What am I going to do? Scour the net to find articles to read? Find more obscure facts to write in 'Did You Know?' series?. The easiest answer is sleep and more sleep. LOL

I never think of myself that one day I will enjoy writing, especially writing in English. Though I read a lot, I never dream that I will find one coherent thought and sen

Dear Captain,

I want to tell you something which made me a bit confused. If you can help me make it clear, I'll be happy.

Yesterday when I came back from Starbuck it started to rain. I seemed to leave my umbrella on the table in Starbuck. When I got out of the metro, I had to run back home quickly as the rain was getting thicker. On the way running back home, I thought it seemed my umbrella was in my backpack. But I wasn't sure and kept running.

After I was back home, I was wet all over so that I t

Writing Prompt ~ Sometimes, Sometime, Some Time

 I sometimes enjoy to put my voice in action to check my English skills out in proof. I hope to be able to change my "lazy" to speak in my learning daily in quite some time. Because knowledge without  practice is valueless. Sometimes, I find some learners that have too much grammar background but nothing related to speaking experiences in the target language. So, if you have some time to speak in English, I'd say: SPEAK! It's really important to do

Dear Captain,

Is Kaili naughty? I think nowadays kids are a world of difference comparing to kids at my era. They are more creative, active, smart and like to take chance and show themselves.

They have known more than I do at a young age. They have less homework but more eletronic products to play. I remember at my time, I had to ask my parents' permission before I played my computer. Now they even play their Ipad or smartphone in class. As a result, they start to wear glasses at a younger age.

 Honestly, I am not good enough at English skills. My speaking is bad, my listening and writing are very awful and my reading always makes people who listen to it laugh very loudly. I just learn English because it is a compulsion of my study. Now, I am thinking that I want to change it, I start to learn more seriously than before. Although it is difficult for me to manage my time.

 I live with my brother and his wife. I am an orphan. It makes me work hard to earn a living to fulfill my daily nece

The great adventure happened one warm  evening in the central square of Budapest called Blaha Lujza Square. I was standing at the bus stop when a foreigner turned to me and asked one of the most frequent questions, 'Excuse me, do you speak English?'

I wasn't a beginner that time. First I had learnt English by myself for a year by the help of a self-teaching book and the CDs belonging to it. I had a pretty good vocabulary and a basic grammar kowledge. Finishing my one-year-program I admitted a cou

Dear Captain,
Guess who I met today! Guess! Hehehe!

Our gerocomium came a new old grandpa. I know him! It has been a coon's age since he moved away. I've never expected we would meet again and meet at such place.

He is an artist. He writes essays, he plays music, he is a green thumber. His calligraphy is excellent, his landscape painting is dazzling. My chess skill is learnt from him!

He was my neighbor. When I was nine, he moved away for work to another city. I always wanted to mention him to you,

Greetings!

I will share Keynote lessons with other teachers or members of EC who wish to do so.

Mr. Miner

Greetings!

I use Apple's Keynote application to teach English to my students. Some students take lessons one to one, and others take lessons in small groups.

I present the lessons that are on an iPad via a small wifi called an "AppleTV" to HDTV screens. The ATV links to the iPad wirelessly, and to the HDTV via an HDMI cable.

I create the presentations on my Apple iMac. I use DropBox to move the lessons from My computer to the iPad. I usually create my own lessons but I also use the lessons offered
