Testimonials

Spent two weeks at Alam Bahasa for a 60 hrs. Bahasa Indonesia course. Besides being a lot of fun, I obtained a good understanding level of BI, and an excellent basis to advance my active skills while already being able to converse on less subtle topics. The teachers at Alam Bahasa have excellent skills and make learning Bahasa Indonesia the best of fun. During the one-on-one training I received, I was at no point overburdened nor bored. Time flew. The lunches that are organized once a week for students and staff are a great way to get to know each other. Keep up the good work, and a big thank you to all at Alam Bahasa! Thomas

Feel the magic shadows in the deep Merapi forest reflected by the golden sun rays behind the clouds. Listen to the cheerful birds singing at big trees. Take a deep breath, absorb the wet scent of wood, leaves, wild flowers, morning dew, and the aroma of firewood vaguely flowing through houses?roof. Warmed up from walking around, refresh yourself with the showery water from the Merapi before having a cup of coffee and bread or fried rice.
