I am not only enjoying studying this program, but am finding my language skills are improving immensely. I love the fact that the course covers all skills – writing, reading, listening and speaking – unlike a lot of other on line courses where you only learn words or set sentences. I also like the fact… Read more “A whole learning experience”

I am from Germany, where the Indonesian language is very rarely spoken. It was impossible to find a class for learning Indonesian. There are some other resources on the Internet, but most of them are focused only on vocabulary.

I thought the 15 lessons for Module 1 were fun to go through. The anki flashcards make it interesting to learn new vocabulary. Having access of The Indonesian Way textbook through the website is a lot more funner to learn the language than going through a regular textbook or eBook. One way to improve the… Read more “Fun and interactive”

Thank you from the bottom of my heart

This is the best online language program that I have taken. It is quite rigorous and I have learned alot in a short period of time. I would highly recommend this program for those looking to learn Indonesian at their own pace. It is also quite affordable for what you get.

I’m approximately half way though the lessons in The Indonesian Way. The lessons have mostly been great, and I feel like I am making progress. I like the variety of audio dialogues available to listen to and practice with, and the exercises are good too. The Anki deck is very convenient and I practice with… Read more “A great online textbook”

The Indonesian way is a good starter course. The lessons are complete (words, grammatical rules, culture (as reflected in a language) they are thematic (introduction, eating et cetera) and they have a strong push at exploring things yourselves. I knew the lessons for more than 10 years, but they improved a lot. Some exercises do… Read more “Good starter course”

I tried learning Indonesian just from a vocabulary flashcard app, Sneddon’s grammar, and a book written in Indonesian. I wasn’t getting very far.

The best way to learn Bahasa Indonesia online!!

So far I really like The Indonesian Way. You learn words and phrases that you also hear in everyday life and the lessons have just the right size.

I am continuing to progress and am very comfortable speaking when I am in Indonesia. Every time I visit (3-4 times a year) my communications skills get better and better. Thank you!!

This has been a great resource for me to learn Indonesian. I would highly recommend this comprehensive, user-friendly, and intuitive course to learn Indonesian from the basics up to intermediate proficiency and beyond!

I like it

Great content! The lessons are very useful

The lessons are clear and I am always learning something new!

I have been studying Indonesian for some time using different apps and courses. I wish I had found this course at the start. This is the only online course with a structure to go from A1 to B1. I really enjoy the different types of exercises.

I have tried a number of different online Indonesian programs and this is the best one I have used by far. This program is great for busy people who can schedule their own time to learn the Indonesian language. I highly recommend the Indonesian Way as a great tool to learn this interesting language.

I tried Babbel, but this works better for me. Only some technical problems stop me from giving 5 stars.

I have tried many other ways of learning Indonesian but find the use of The Indonesian way very comprehensive.

Indonesian Online is a fantastic resource for learning Bahasa Indonesia. I’ve tried other methods (one-on-one tutoring, Teach Yourself, Pimsleur, and others) over the last few years, but I believe this site is simply the best combination of well-structured lessons and audio/visual materials. There have been one or two small hiccups, typical of any interactive website,… Read more “Well done !”

After having tried several language courses I definitely pick The Indonesian Way as my No.1 course. Interesting, well balanced and above all much more effective than other language courses. In addition its worth to note – whenever there seems to be a problem to access the course, somebody responds & helps in a very short… Read more “A real language course”

This is probably the best resource to learn Indonesian out there.

I really like that the… Read more “Best resource to learn Indonesian”

Some years ago, I did study Bahasa Indonesia with a couple of hard copy text books from reputable sources, and had a 1x/week in-person tutor.

As a child of Indonesian parents, I had already some knowledge about Indonesian. I currently have at least an A2 CEFR level. I’ve chosen to start the course at the beginning to make sure my foundations were correct. My vocabulary knowledge is already very good, but this module has taught me the more precise meaning… Read more “Review first module”

This is my testimonial.

I am really enjoying this course and taking my time to complete all the exercises, I think this is the key to learning the language.

The order in which vocab is presented makes absolutely no sense. At the end of the first month a student can’t count to ten, name a single color, or mention any family members other than mother and father. Speaking about family is extremely culturally important in Indonesia. Meanwhile, by this time a student can list… Read more “Why would I want to know the different types of rickshaws when I can’t count to ten yet?”

I find this course absolutely pivotal in learning Indonesian. The quality of the course has been excellent so far. I would recommend this to everyone who has an interest to learn the Indonesian language.

I am only 15 lessons in, but so far I really like this! The way it’s structured makes it easy to dissect and understand. So far I’m finding this easier to learn than Spanish, and I think a lot of that has to do with how it is presented and sectioned.

Having been a previous student using the Indonesian Way I have returned to use the resource as a tool for revision and perfecting. I found the program to be exceptional. However upon my return there are a few things that I would identify as having already been perfectly structured and the changes seem to be… Read more “Indonesian Way review”

The indonesian way enables you to study at your own speed, both fast and slow. There’s enough repetition of vocabulary in the courses alone to learn most words without long and tedious study. The sound files are great and I personally think the substitution drill is absolutely brilliant.

This has been a very practical, engaging and rapid course which has fair exceeded my expectations. I would strongly recommend this to someone who wants to grasps Bahasa Indonesia to a high standard

This is a great resource.

Indonesian language resources designed for the intermediate learner are rare. That’s why I was so glad to find the “Baca Yuk!” program. The lessons are well-structured with authentic materials (especially valuable for me are the audio recordings with matching text).

First, I love the lessons and that they include information about the country and culture. Please write more about these subjects. I suggest you to include songs, newspaper headlines and comics. It will make learning more fun.

This is a gem of a course. It has both the interactiveness of an app and the academic rigour of a textbook. To have a structured way to go from absolute beginner to advanced, while paying sufficient attention to grammar, slang and culture, is very valuable.

Practical and simple way to start communicating in bahasa Indonesia effectively.

I love the lessons and the way they are constructed with fun quizzes while being still very educational.

The Indonesian Way is a great learning tool. The lessons in Module 1 build upon each other well — I felt challenged but not out of my depth. I like that the Indonesian Way contains insightful cultural information in addition to grammar and vocabulary. I also like that it introduces the learner to both formal… Read more “Great learning tool”

This is a good module.

Amazing so far! Easy and applicable in every day situations. Only thing I would like to see is a way to to find useful products without having to remember the lesson number, like sentence shells.

The Indonesian Way is an extremely well-organized and well-thought course. Having previously tried several book & recording, class and in-person tutoring programs, this Indonesian Online course is, in my opinion, the best available.

Fantastic way to learn Indonesian. I learned more in two weeks with this program than with other programs over the years.

Very good course

Absolutely the best bahasa Indonesia course ever! I have been doing all Uli’s courses for some time and have actually progressed to some of the slightly more advanced, but still always do The Indonesian-Way in tandem for revision. I just love it.

I appreciate it a lot. Excellent self learning material, not boring at all. Thank you very much for providing this opportunity.

I think this is a very comprehensive program and I feel lucky to have come across it.

Plenty of content, but it is quite difficult to keep track of what lesson has been completed and get an understanding of how you are going. Additionally, and perhaps this is because I purchased this some time ago, it appears a lot of the relevant content for me is not included in my membership.

Great course! I have increased my vocabulary very quickly and have been able to have relatively complex conversations with a native Indonesian speaker!

The Indonesian Way is a very good material for learning Indonesian language. I have tried other materials for beginners before but I find that this one is the most well-defined, and also the most agreeable. It has very clear explanations, useful exercises, and, most importantly, always revisits previously learned vocabulary. It involves all the four… Read more “very good material”

I do not ever need to learn a lot of vocabularies after repeating the lessons. What I also like is that the language I learn… Read more “very good”

For me, this course just gets better. It pushes me harder than other courses and it also encourages me to listen to the Indonesian transcripts over and over until I can (more or less) keep up.
