🎟 Is it affordable to learn Indonesian and what does a lesson with a tutor of Indonesian cost?
For university and college courses you can estimate Indonesian course cost by dividing annual tuition by ten (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the rate for fifty or so class hours each semester. Language academies and private Indonesian tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the more affordable Indonesian tutors can be found online, with rates on Preply averaging 11 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, experience and student demand.

📚 How much Indonesian do I need to know to sign up for a course?
When considering college and learning center classes be prepared pass a few pre-requisites. Predetermined curriculum classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework volume and exams, so research the details in advance. With personal Indonesian tutors you can find reviews for whom the tutor is effective with and which other expertise they make available (like classes for adults, etc.) For more flexibility, choose a tutor from many teaching online.
🔥 Why is Indonesian so challenging and are there ways to learn it the easy way?
Standardized language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Indonesian. As proven by others before, you can gain basic Indonesian fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback several hours a week you will be able to understand everyday words, speak on some level, shop and place orders in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid and enjoyable 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 learners.
🤷 How long does it take to master Indonesian?
Some people seem to have a 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 study. The length of time can differ quite a bit depending on your existing level of Indonesian or knowledge of other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, try typing using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in Indonesian out loud. If it's more difficult than you had imagined you can also take conversational Indonesian classes online.
🤳 What are my options when choosing the Indonesian tutor?
In language learning academies, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, certainly! The largest selection of pre-screened Indonesian tutors with full profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.
🗓 Will I be able to fit lessons in my busy schedule?
Colleges usually run classes twice a week over a semester (75-day period). Language schools make available shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can choose your own lesson frequency and time, on weekdays and/or weekends.
