| POST |

| Fira: Lupakan pekerjaan, mari kita santai di pantai. |
| Becky: "Forget about work; let's relax on the beach." |
| Fira: (SLOW) Lupakan pekerjaan, mari kita santai di pantai. (Regular) Lupakan pekerjaan, mari kita santai di pantai. |
| Becky: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "forget about work." |
| Fira: lupakan pekerjaan |
| Becky: You can use this pattern to give a direction or instruction. Like in this context, you can use it to say something to yourself. Listen again - "forget about work" is... |
| Fira: (SLOW) lupakan pekerjaan (REGULAR) lupakan pekerjaan |
| Becky: Then comes the phrase "let's relax on the beach." |
| Fira: mari kita santai di pantai |
| Becky: In Indonesian, there is a famous expression which literally means “relax just like on the beach.” |
| Fira: Santai kayak di pantai |
| Becky: People use this expression often because they also like the rhyme. You can use it to mean “relaxing on a vacation,” even if you are not going to the beach but to mountains or somewhere else. Listen again - "let's relax on the beach" is... |
| Fira: (SLOW) mari kita santai di pantai (REGULAR) mari kita santai di pantai |
| Becky: All together, it's "Forget about work; let's relax on the beach." |
| Fira: Lupakan pekerjaan, mari kita santai di pantai. |
