English-Indonesian Joke Book

The English Indonesian Joke Book is a collection of 100 jokes in easy English available for the first time in digital format. It is a great way for Indonesian speakers to improve their English or for English speakers to brush up their Indonesian.

So what does the English Indonesian Joke Book look like? 

On each page there is a joke, in pretty simple English, sometimes with a cartoon and any difficult words are translated at the bottom of the page.

Teacher: Your handwriting has improved.
Boy: Thank you, sir.
Teacher: Now I can see how bad your spelling is.

handwriting – tulisan tangan
to improve –  meningkatkan
spelling – ejaan

On the following page you can see a translation in Indonesian. There were all done by the professional Indonesian translator, Muhamad Rivai. 

Guru: Tulisan tanganmu sudah meningkat.
Anak laki-laki: Terima kasih, Pak.
Guru: Sekarang saya bisa melihat betapa buruk ejaanmu.
