The primary data for this study were from the speech in Bule Barbie YouTube channel on August 14, 2023, entitled "Speaking Indonesian 24 Hours? "Bule Barbie So Confused," while the secondary data were from a variety of sources, including books, journals and other sources that offer data pertinent to the ongoing investigation. There are several kinds of linguistic mistakes, including additions, deletions, and alterations. Various variables, including the effect of one's native language, lack of Bahasa Indonesia mastery, and a lack of formal education, contribute to these inaccuracies.
