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.
