Course testimonials

Kerry said: Pak Hani is the best teacher - I loved my lectures with him. I learnt so much and he was so lovely.
-
Tony said: I found this course challenging and much faster paced than the Level 1 course because of the advanced competency of the other students, but at the same time, it has motivated me to study harder.
-
Paul said: Hani is a great and committed teacher and makes us feel comfortable in class even when we make mistakes. He also makes us accountable for doing our homework by rotating the homework questions amongst the participants. He adds a lot of value explaining the grammatical rules beyond the vocabulary that the text book focuses on. I am looking forward to the Level 3 course.
-
Amy said: I LOVED the program. Our tutor was fantastic! She was friendly and encouraging whilst still pushing us to improve our skills. The only down side for me was the timing of each class - 7pm to 9pm is too late for my brain to be functioning. It would be much better if it was from 5 to 7pm or 6 to 8pm instead. This is the only deterrence from doing the next course.

Rosalind said: Pak Hani is a terrific instructor! I would love to go on with my studies and hope you will schedule a level 3 Indonesian language course early in 2022.
