Cinta Bahasa has been the perfect language school for me. I could already speak a
bit of Indonesian
when I enrolled, but with lots of mistakes and holes in my understanding. I
could sometimes manage a
proper Indonesian question, but then couldn’t understand the answer! I started
with the group
beginner class, so Ochie and the teachers could assess my level, then they
arranged private classes
for me, which have been worth every rupiah, really good value. My teacher has
such a friendly
approach, while being thorough about revising grammar from the ground up. Now
I’m learning exactly
what I need to progress, filling in the gaps and getting lots of ‘tips and
tricks’ I would have
missed out on, just sitting with my dictionary or bumbling through like I was
before. I realise now
how kind my Indonesian friends have been in coping with my mangled version of
their language… And
how much they didn’t correct!
