Jembatan Bahasa Indonesian Language School
Indonesian language, locally known as Bahasa Indonesia, is arguably one of the world's easiest languages to learn. Spoken by 280 million people of various ethnic groups and local languages, this official language is created to be simple, so all Indonesians can learn and use it to communicate with each other. Learning Bahasa Indonesia will also enable you to understand its sister language Malay, which is widely spoken in Malaysia, Brunei, and Singapore.
Our teachers are experienced and certified to teach Bahasa Indonesia as a foreign language. They are graduates of notable universities, all holding Bachelor's and some Master's degrees in language teaching, literature, and other related majors. Most importantly, they are passionate about teaching and sharing our language and culture.
To learn Indonesian more effectively, exposure is key. That's why we immerse you in the language as much as possible. In class, your teachers strive to conduct the lessons entirely in Bahasa Indonesia. Grammar and language structures are taught in a practical context, enabling you to communicate in Indonesian most of the time.
Our Indonesian classes include audio and video lessons of daily conversations, mini stories, and movie clips. These lessons help you improve your listening skills and become familiar with the sound and rhythm of the language, as well as learn about the culture. Studying Indonesian with us grants you free access to our collection of resources.
We use scientifically-proven flashcard apps that utilize Spaced Repetition Approach so that you remember vocabulary long-term. Flashcards are customized to correspond to our course books, equipped with sentence examples and voice recordings. With regular use, you'll be able to recall vocabulary with ease and confidence.
We want your Indonesian to sound natural, which is why we've adapted our teaching materials from authentic resources taken from everyday life. Our materials include real and natural conversations, monologues and stories, as well as YouTube videos, movie clips, TV series, podcasts, newspapers, and blogs - all of which are adjusted to your proficiency level.
Ultimately, we understand that every learner is unique. We listen carefully and personalize our teaching approach to meet your specific learning styles and language needs. If you believe you learn Indonesian best in a certain way or you need lessons for specific purposes, please let us know. We will do our best to accommodate and support you.
We can help you speak Indonesian from scratch, or continue from your current level. At Jembatan Bahasa Indonesian Language School, we have adapted the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) as our guideline. We have six levels which correspond to the CEFR framework.
In your very first class with us, we assess your level to make sure you are placed in the right course.
