Sophie Navita says that language was the toughest part of her new show Interns: The Series, which premieres on Feb. 9 in Singapore.
'I didn't find [my] character hard to portray,' the 39-year-old actress said was quoted by kompas.com.
'What was quite challenging was switching from English to Malay. I often said, 'dateng', when I had to say 'datang', so they had to cut, Sophia said, referring to the slang (gaul) way to say 'arrive' versus its correct pronunciation.
After wrapping up shooting in January, Sophie began an online course in holistic nutrition.
'If I maintain studying four to five hours per day, I should be able to finish it in one year,' said the initiator of Indonesia Makan Sayur, or Indonesia Eats Vegetables, campaign.
