Our Students Love Us!
sample of (translated) testimonials, written by some of our Dutch students
If you want to quickly learn Indonesian to hold basic conversations at the market, join in the bargaining game, and be greeted with big smiles, then BaliBound Academy's beginner course is the best choice. In just 10 lessons, I learned many practical Indonesian words and phrases. Klarijn is an excellent teacher with extensive knowledge of both the language and the culture. The course material is top-notch, and the exercises with fellow students are fun and engaging. The course was fantastic! I signed up for the follow-up course with great enthusiasm.
Arnold S.
I thought it was a fantastic course with an excellent teacher. The group was also fun, and I learned a lot. I can't wait to put what I learned into practice!
Fred B.
In a short time, I learned much more than I expected with the BaliBound Academy beginners course. I can already say quite a bit in Bahasa Indonesia and understand the basics of the language. The focus on Indonesian culture and the interaction with fellow students in a private setting made the course very appealing. The weekly online lessons were a pleasure due to their varied, enjoyable, and professional delivery.
Saskia C.
This online course makes you feel like you're in Indonesia from the comfort of your living room. I learned a tremendous amount in just ten lessons, but like Indonesian food, it leaves you craving more!
Nikki R.
Great course! I learned a lot in a short time. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to be understood in the Indonesian Archipelago.
