I plan lessons and course content from my knowledge of each individual student, and am delighted to share my knowledge and answer questions, even outside class time.

If you're planning a holiday in Bali or any other part of Indonesia, you will find it most rewarding if you can speak with the friendly Indonesian people. In more remote areas, it can be very necessary to know some Bahasa Indonesia. Maybe you are a surfer and you frequently go to Indonesia's legendary surfing locations, many of which are in remote areas where people do not know any English, besides a few words. You certainly will benefit from being able to speak the language.
Language study encompasses study of cultural aspects of that country....the two are inseparable - and I will give you a lot of interesting information about manners, customs, and if you wish to know more about history and and traditions, I'm delighted to share the information.
