Indonesian language course

We suggest you take our Small-Group Beginner Indonesian Language Course if you learned to speak Indonesian without formal training, if you have a vocabulary under 100 words you can use, or if you feel unsure that your sentences are correct when you are speaking.

The course starts the first Monday of each Month.  When you register, you will see the list of starting dates for the course.

This course is 40 hours total. There are 20 classes of two-hour lessons. There are 5 classes per week for four weeks, each weekday from 9-11am.  If this class is full, then we will have a second class from 12.30 – 2.30pm. If you are a group of four people, we can arrange a time that is convenient for you! The Small-Group has a maximum of 6 students completing the course.

What you will Learn:

• Our textbook has 19 chapters: you will learn to converse on a wide range of day-to-day subjects in simple and polite Indonesian,
• You will learn how to bargain and negotiate in Indonesian, which can save you millions of Rupiah.
