Puri Indonesian

Ibu Ningshi is one of the pioneers of Bahasa classes in Indonesia, and has developed course materials based on European and US language teaching concepts. Her teaching approach is practical and effective. I have greatly enjoyed the week-long intensive course with her and Karin, and I have learned a great deal. Definitely recommend their courses.

I have been coming to Indonesia every year for the past five years. I love this country and quite keen to pick up the language. In the past I have picked up books for self study but somehow the progress was stunted before it fizzled out completely. By chance this time in February 2020 I had an extra week in Jogja and decided to enrol myself in a one on one course at Puri Bahasa. That was indeed a very good decision because at the end of the six day (36 hours) basic communication course I was already striking up small conversations in the cafes and warungs. The teachers here are lovely and professional in their attitude. There is huge focus on conversational practice which I think is the key to build confidence. The teaching material prepared by the Principal Sri Ningsih is good and appropriate for the level. In the end I would once again like to thank the two young ladies who were my teachers, Winda and Dayu for their pedagogical skills and the encouragement they gave me to build up the confidence to talk in Bahasa. Thank you everyone and hope to upgrade my skills when I visit next.

I have been learning Bahasa Indonesian as an adult for a number of years and have found that Puri Bahasa is a great school. Bu Ningsih is a really inspiring educator. The teachers understand how adults are motivated and teach really useful language. For me a week spent at the school is equivalent to 6 months classes back in Australia....and it is fun! Very professional.

After studying Indonesian in Australia for a couple of years Puri Bahasa was recommended to me by friends and I have just returned from a six day course there. I will certainly be back. Bu Ningsih and the other teachers are fun, obviously well trained and adapt to the learner's particular needs and focus in a structured effective way. Those six days did a lot for my Indonesian.

I took 3 weeks of Indonesian classes, 20h/week, at Puri Bahasa. Over those 3 weeks, I met 3 different teachers and they were all excellents. As a language teacher myself, I always have high expectations when I register to private language lessons ans I was not disappointed with this school. Teachers adjust their classes to suit your needs and make sure that you talk a lot. Highly recommanded!
