enrich vocabulary or foreign language terms, can learn a foreign language, as a
comparison material, absorb foreign languages, and many more important things we can
do in translation

warna kulitnya yang berwarna coklat, dan kami juga sering memanggilnya dengan
sebutan owen. Owen mempunyai ekor yang panjang dan jika kalau kami memanggil dia
ekornya langsung naik ke atas, dia sangat terajar karna dia tidak berani memakan
makanan yang ada di depannya kalau kami tidak memberikannya padanya, dan jika kalau
dia melihat orang yang tidak dikenalnya dia kan megonggong.”

and we also often call him owen. Owen has a long tail and if we call him the tail goes

we don't give it to him, and if he sees someone he doesn't know he will barking.”
