Excellent Indonesian language program for university students, academics and teachers

May 22, 2023by: Robert Johnson - EnglandProgram: Private Indonesian Language Courses

As an academic undergoing a transition to becoming a teacher, I learned a great deal at Cinta Bahasa both from the learning, and the teaching standpoints. The teachers were pleased to help me be both a learner, and a teacher. Over the past 10-plus years of teaching thousands of foreigners, they have crafted a curriculum that teaches bahasa Indonesia the way it is spoken around you. When I first heard this, it was the reason I chose Cinta Bahasa over other Indonesian language schools in Indonesia, all of whom only teach theoretical and formal Indonesian language, which is rarely seen spoken in the real world. That is fine if that is the kind of language you want to learn, but if you want to learn the real language, the one that is constantly growing and chaing, then I would fully recommend learning at Cinta Bahasa.

A Guide to Language Programs in Indonesia

Locations

With over 300 native ethnic groups that have their own dialects spread across Indonesia, you'll experience cultural diversity from coast to coast. Whether you'd rather drink kopi luwak (coffee) overlooking the terraced rice fields of Ubud or get lost in the buzzing city of Jakarta, language programs in Indonesia will send your brain sailing and exciting adventures afloat.

Don't let the bumper to bumper traffic in Jakarta slow you down. With 12 million people speaking Bahasa Indonesian, language learning in Indonesia's capital city will be a breeze. From the newly developed high-rise buildings to the crumbling slums, this sprawling concrete jungle is far from postcard perfect. However, despite Jakarta's rougher edges, you'll find its citizens from all walks of life to be good-natured and optimistic There’s a surprise around every corner in Jakarta as you can wander the richly scented streets of Chinatown or amid artists hanging out in the bohemian cafes. 

Tucked away amid the rainforest and terraced rice paddies in the highlands of Bali, Ubud (pronounced oobood, the same way “oo” sounds in 'good) is known as a center for traditional crafts and dance. It's a peaceful town to learn the rhythms of a new language and explore the Hindu temples and shrines. Bahasa is widely spoken, but if you're looking for a challenge, Balinese is a tricky language that has unusual sounds. Lured in by Eat, Pray, Love fever, expats and English-speaking locals alike are growing in population in Ubud.

What to call Yogyakarta is a fun language lesson on its own. The city is renowned for its historical and cultural heritage on the island of Java. Yogyakarta is overflowing with thousand-year-old temples and market stalls of all colors and contents. Exploring the surrounding rice fields, natural beaches, and Merapi Mountain will keep you both relaxed and on-the-move. The city is also home to several universities and boasts an artistic atmosphere. Whether you're studying or unleashing creativity with a paint brush, you'll enjoy this city’s charming nature.
