Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a quick and fun way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Indonesian. After mastering basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Indonesian tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced speakers.
🤷 How long does it take to get better at speaking Indonesian?
Some people brag about their natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Indonesian will take at least 600 hours of practice. The actual range of time can differ significantly depending on your available level of Indonesian or proficiency in other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch TV, try typing using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible ways to think and speak in Indonesian out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Indonesian classes online.
🤳 Can I choose my own Indonesian instructor?
In learning centers, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, of course! The largest selection of approved Indonesian tutors with detailed profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.
🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?
Colleges typically schedule classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools usually give shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can take as few as one lesson a year, as many as several a day - and as many (or as few) as you want during any time of day, on weekdays and/or weekends.
