The decline in the use of Indonesian as a mother tongue seems to be starting to bloom among the younger generation. There are so many young people who are actually proud when in their daily life they are fluent in foreign languages and actually do not have the ability to speak Indonesian properly and correctly. In the midst of this irony, the author provides a brief analysis of the importance of speaking Indonesian in order to increase the sense of nationalism. It is hoped that this brief analysis will make the younger generation aware of the importance of having good and correct Indonesian language skills. The analysis this time uses a descriptive analysis method where the research tries to describe a phenomenon or event that occurs whose data is in the form of oral or written data presentations from people around the research object area, namely the Indonesian language itself. From this brief analysis, it is concluded that to form a nationalist generation, it can be started from small steps such as getting used to using Indonesian as a daily language and continuously honing Indonesian language skills either through writing or speaking skills.
