The elementary course was a great introduction to the language and culture of Indonesia. The structured programme builds up the confidence and fluency of the non-native speaker to allow him to grasp key phrases and sentence structures to enable the student to listen, read and write in Bahasa Indonesia.The little tips in linguistic nuances and cultural norms allow beginners to appreciate the context within which they use the language. Everyday examples are weaved into the lesson to bring the language to life.Learning as a group was both engaging and enjoyable. There is no doubt that every student will look forward to the tete-a-tete with their teacher and fellow students at every lesson.
