Charlotte - 2019

I wanted to travel to Indonesia and improve my language skills I had also focused much of my university study on Indonesia and was keen to learn more the country and experience it for myself.

I have a much better understanding of Indonesia's cultural and political background. Academically I have improved my Indonesian language skill more than I ever could have without going and studying over there.

Veronika - 2017

I decided to complete the Indonesian Language Short Course to further my language skills and practice in a real life context. The course provided a very good curriculum. Unfortunately, of the 2 courses I intended to complete only 1 was offered. My advice for future participants would be to ask for written confirmation that all courses are actually offered and insist on confirming all important aspects of a program. Either that or be really flexible and manage expectations. My favourite part of the experience was the field trips which were part of the program. We were able to visit local business and interview shop owners and other local members of the community, which was really interesting.
