In this lesson, you will learn the Indonesian language and society through an introduction to basic Indonesian grammar, vocabulary, and communicative strategies. You will become familiar with key elements of social interaction in Indonesian, including the use of address terms, ways of greeting, and common topics of conversation for people studying or working in Indonesia, such as student and family life and the geography of Indonesia. Using basic sentence structures, you will be able to engage in a variety of interactions, including getting to know people and describing daily activities, as well as reading and writing simple descriptions.

I've created this video material in very detail based on my experience as a professionally qualified teacher of Indonesian language for speakers of other languages with over 5 years of experience both in-class and almost 2 years of online tutoring experience, and both in Indonesian and in Australia. I enjoy teaching all aspects of Indonesian to students of all levels.

What students are saying about me:

***** "My first lesson with Andika gives me a great hope that I have found a great teacher. Andika was very professional (and yet approachable) and the overall interaction was simply productive and pleasant as regards language learning."

***** "Andika was very helpful and understands Indonesian to English translation well. He also speaks very clearly and is easy to understand. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their bahasa Indonesia."

***** " Thanks again Mas Andika. I greatly appreciate your patience with me and your knowledge of the English language for translation. I especially like when you explain everything in Indonesian as this helps me learn. Thanks for your encouragement."
