What is hard about Bahasa Indonesia?

If you are used to the English pronunciation, Bahasa Indonesia pronounce their alphabet the Dutch way. So if you’re a Malay speaker there is some unlearning and relearning to do.

The good thing about that is the consistency. You learn one Bahasa Indonesia and you can speak to all 199M+ Indonesian speakers.

Bahasa Melayu for e.g. is different in West and East Malaysia.

No. Bahasa is Indonesian for “language”. “Bahasa Indonesia” means “Indonesian language” in Indonesian.

Why is the online Indonesian course cheaper than the in-person course?

Our online Indonesian course has exactly the same curriculum, teachers, number of hours and group size. But compared to the in-person class, we save money because there is no need to reserve a classroom. We pass these savings on to our online class participants.

What's the relevance of Indonesian language for Singapore?

Not only is Bahasa Indonesia the world’s 12th most spoken language with 199 million speakers, it’s also the official language of one of Singapore’s neighbours.
