Indonesian Immersion Program

One of the best ways to learn Indonesian is by immersing yourself in the language and the culture of the Indonesian people. In this Indonesian immersion program, you will be exposed to the language 24 hours a day in a natural, everyday setting. Your classes will be a combination of Indonesian lessons with our professional instructors, self-study with homework instructions & extra learning resources, and cultural exploration to practice the language in real-life situations as well as deepen your understanding of Indonesian culture. You also have the option to stay with Indonesian people in a local area to maximize your language exposure.

You can choose to take this immersion program for as short as one week and as long as six months. We arrange the program based on your Indonesian proficiency level. Here is an example of a 4-week program for beginner students.

Note: Self-study involves completing assignments to help you practice Indonesian outside of classroom lessons. The time is flexible and self-directed. Examples include joining a gardening group, chatting with locals, participating in sports events, watching TV series or movies, and reading books or articles. Your teacher will review your assignments the next day.

Instructors

The class sessions will be handled by our professional Indonesian teachers. You can read about their profiles here.

For language tours on Fridays, you will have the opportunity to work with Indonesian artists/professionals who have experience in their fields. All instructions will be mostly in Indonesian, and they will be adjusted according to your Indonesian proficiency level.

Accommodation & Meals

We are based in Jalan Subak Daksina, Tibubeneng, away from the touristy/business area, but the beach is only 11 minutes away. Most residents here are local Balinese and other Indonesians from across the country so it’s a great place to find an accommodation that is within walking distance from Jembatan Bahasa. Various restaurants, from a vegetarian one to a meat lover, are available in the area.

Three minutes drive from our office, there is a vast local residence called Perumahan Pengending Permai where English almost completely disappears. For maximum exposure to the language, this is the perfect location.

We have collected some accommodations near our school that give you exposure to Indonesian language and culture outside of the classroom. You can check the list here
