English VS Javanese

Can you speak English ??? Can you speak Javanese??

The first question , I think It will sound so sophisticated, if a person finally answer """ YES, I CAN SPEAK ENGLISH FLUENTLY!!!!!!!, but it will sound ironically if a Javanese can't speak Javanese fluently.....

I was wondering why it can be.... Today I watched VOA on TV, it showed that most foreigners coming to Indonesia liked to understand and to learn our Javanese. They can speak Javanese or Suroboyonese just like the native living in Surabaya and Indonesia.

But, the question that I wanna ask.... CAN WE PRESERVE THE HERITAGE OF OUR JAVANESE??? The answer will be automatically far different from the question I asked previously...... We are as an Indonesian and A javanese should preserve the heritage and we should also know about the world outside....

it will sound so GOOD if we can speak Javanese and can speak foreign languages such as English, German, Japanese or others. When I chat with my friends from overseas, They always ask me about the language in my native land here, Surabaya. From this opportunity, We can treasure our friendship and we can share about the different cultures...

CAN Y'ALL DO THE SAME THINGS LIKE BALINESE, JOGJAKARTANESE and others who can preserve their own heritage even they always get along best with cultures aroung the world as foreigners come and go from their land.

The best answer will be in your mind and idea... Think of it and share what in your mind is.
