Let's Know About Me 
My name is Yuspayanti, usually called Ulhfa. The
reason why my parents gave me that name is because Yuspa comes from Arabic,
namely “shaafin” which means holy, and ulhfa, which means thousand, so the
meaning of the name Yuspayanti ulhfa is a thousand words that are holy. I
really like and proud of this name because I think it is very unique and rarely
owned by other people. I'm a girl who like fashion and self improvement enthusiast in my life. I am currently serving as Miss Hijab Social Yogyakarta in 2023
My first language is
Melayu because I was born and grew up in Malaysia. Even though both of my
parents came from South Sulawesi ethnic Bugis, the first language I was
taught is Malay because it adapted to the place where my family lived and where
I was born and lived. Then, my second language is English because we know that
English is the second language in Malaysia, so I have to know and understand
how to speak English, and my parents really encouraged me to be able to speak
English. Besides English, my second language is Indonesian because, when I was
in vocational high school, I got a full study scholarship to study in
Indonesia, Malang, East Java. The first time when I lived in Indonesia, I had
great difficulty understanding and speaking Indonesian because I thought the
words were very difficult to understand and the environment was not supportive
because my friends almost every day speak Javanese and very rarely use
Indonesian. With environment conditions like this, it makes me depressed
because I really confused and I think it is difficult to be in an environment
like that where the two languages I want to achieve are all limited "
English and Indonesian”. When I was in Indonesia I felt my vocabulary in
English was reduced because I never spoke English anymore, like when I was in
Malaysia. But after I continued studying at the University Muhammadiyah
Yogyakarta with a major English education department, I felt a very good change
in my second language from before because my environment is supportive, such as
my lecturer and my friends from various provinces, and in everyday we speak in
two languages, namely English and Indonesian, so I can understand both well and
correctly.
The first time I
learned my second language, “English” was when I was in elementary school, and
I really liked the method my teacher taught me by memorizing vocabulary and
practicing every day how to write sentences and speak English. Besides that, my
teacher always makes the situation in the class fun. For example, she sings
English songs, so I’m not frustrated with learning English, and it is easy to
understand when my teacher explains the structure of English. So my teacher
really helped me to improve my second language, and I think this method is
really good and helped me to learn English because I really enjoyed it. I also
learned from my environment, such as my family and my friends, which really
helped me to improve my second language because they often combine two
languages, English and Malay, in their daily life so I always ask them if I
don’t understand the meaning. Besides learning English from my teacher and my
environment, I also learned autodidactically by watching television every day,
which uses English subtitles, joining competitions such as speech and story
telling, and then learning by social media such as YouTube and Instagram,
reading the dictionary every day, and memorizing at least ten vocabulary words.
In addiction, my
second language is "Indonesia.” As time goes by, I always try and make
plans that one day I want to speak Indonesian well and fluently. To achieve
this, I always join competitions such as speech and short movie competitions.
And then, I learned from my friends on my campus who came from various
provinces, and all of them used Indonesian correctly and well. Without I
realizing it, when I spoke more and more Indonesian every day with my friends,
my Indonesian became better than before, and I gained more vocabulary. So now
my second language, “English and Indonesia,” is better than before.
In my opinion and
based on my experience, the best way to learn our second language is to have an
environment that supports us and always practiced every day. I think it is very
successful to use this method because, except I improve my second language, it
can also can increase my self-confidence. So there are some methods or ways
that I used to improve my second language. I think these methods are very
effective and successful for me because, by memorizing vocabulary and
practicing everyday and have a good environment, we can improve our second
language, and I've still used this method until now.
