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 one week program for beginner students.
