Jembatan Bahasa Indonesian Language SchoolIndonesian 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, Indonesian 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 Indonesian language teachers are experienced and certified to teach Bahasa Indonesia as a foreign language. They graduated from 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 have the lessons entirely in Bahasa Indonesia. Grammar and language structures are taught in a practical context, enabling us to communicate in the Indonesian language most of the time.
Our Indonesian classes include video and audio lessons of daily conversations, mini stories, and movie clips. These lessons are designed to help you improve your listening skills and become more familiar with the sound and rhythm of the language as well as learning Indonesian cultures. Studying Indonesian with us grants you free access to our collection of lessons.
We provide scientifically proven flashcard apps that utilize machine learning and spaced repetition approach to help you remember vocabulary long-term. All words and phrases in the flashcards correspond to our course books, equipped with sentence examples and voice recording. With regular use, you'll be able to recall Indonesian vocabulary with ease and confidence.
We want you to sound like us, Indonesians, which is why we've adapted our teaching materials from authentic resources that are part of our everyday lives. Our materials include real and natural conversations, monologues, stories, as well as YouTube videos, movie clips, TV series, podcasts, newspapers, and blogs - all of which we adjust 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 Bahasa Indonesia 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 start 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.
If you have learned Indonesian before, we will asses your level on your first class to make sure you take the right course. We also conduct assessments to monitor your language learning progress and to see if you're ready to move to the next level.
Our teaching team consists of experienced and qualified professionals who have vast teaching experience and are certified to teach Indonesian as a foreign language, known as Bahasa Indonesia bagi Penutur Asing (BIPA).
We offer courses designed for any need, from complete beginners to intermediate level learners, with options to suit your goals and preferences.
Our regular Indonesian classes are designed for students who prefer a slower pace of studying. These classes are perfect for beginners who are just starting to learn Indonesian and want to learn at a comfortable and steady pace. In general, our students study for one hour three times a week or 90 minutes twice a week. This is our recommendation, ultimately, you can decide the frequency and the duration of your lesson.
Our intensive Indonesian course is an ideal option for you if you don’t have much time in Bali or want rapid progress on your language skills. You will study for three hours a day, five times a week. You will work with two or more teachers to familiarize yourself with different speaking styles. Short trips and relevant cultural activities are available at an extra cost (for transportation and materials needed).
Our Indonesian immersion program is designed for students who want to experience the language and Indonesian culture firsthand. In this program, you will be immersed in Indonesian language and culture by attending
language classes, participating in cultural trips and activities, as well as living with a host family (optional).
Learn Indonesian online from the comfort of your home. With our online Indonesian course, you can learn Indonesian at your own pace, with regular or intensive options, every day for at least one hour each session.
