What People Say

I am just starting Indonesian for a wedding in Bali. IndonesianPod101 has already expanded my knowledge of the language.

I was in Java from 1978 to 1980 and was quite fluent. Since then I have lost my fluency and I would like to get it back since I love Java and Indonesia.

Kepada IndonesianPod101.com yang terhormat,

Nama saya Anita. Saya berumur 60 tahun dan berasal dari Africa Selatan. Kami tinggal di Indonesia dari 2001 sampai 2015 dan sampai sekarang masih kembali ke Indonesia serial tahun. Kami sangat mencintai Indonesia seperti tanah air kami.

There are so many grammatical mistakes in the piece above. However, I wanted to try. My goal is to become fluent in formal Indonesian speaking, reading and writing so that I can give my best to Indonesia, as that is what she deserves.

I’m looking forward to this study journey with you.

I spent in Indonesia about 1.5 year. Before leaving to Indonesia I was learning Indonesian for a few month. This was wonderful experience. I was able to communicate in Indonesian not only in a very simple topics, but also I could conduct more complicated conversations. Indonesian are very interesting people with a very surprising mentality. To have a possibility to communicate with them directly, means to have opportunity to meet their culture without any kind of impurity. Continuation with IndonesianPod101 gives me opportunity keeping in touch with the language.
