Personal dialogue, perfect pronunciation, spelling dictations and lots of necessary vocabulary.

Together we discuss, we read and write, but I also take you to think and perhaps in some cases even take you on an excursion to Bali for live dialogue!

Indonesia is famous for its beautiful places and humble people. There are a lot of things you can discover when visiting this country. Sometimes language becomes a barrier to enjoying your stay in another country. Sometimes you could just fall in love with the country and have a desire to be part of them and language become something important.

Taking an Indonesian class will help you in these situations. I'll help you to be able to talk and communicate with locals, and even better help you speak like a native Indonesian. I'll show you the culture and customs of Indonesian during the class. You'll get more information about Indonesia not only its language. I'll be happy to guide you to achieve your goals in learning Bahasa Indonesia.
