Riska

So far I’ve been working with Riska for a couple of weeks and it’s really changed my thoughts on Bahasa Indonesia and on a deeper level, what language is. Although it’s difficult, I am throughly enjoying our conversations and really looking forward to being able to express myself more fully in this interesting and rich language ! Thank you for being on this journey with me Riska !

I had a great first lesson with Riska! She is very kind, has a fun and laidback approach and was very patient with me and my foreign accent. I even got to meet her cat at the end of the lesson! Thanks Riska, see you again soon :)

It was really enjoyable reading a popular Indonesian book with Riska today. It was like being at a book club with a true friend. I am very grateful that with Riska's help I have been able to reach a level of Indonesian where I can both read at novel level and discuss.

Riska is an excellent Sundanese teacher. I highly recommend her for instruction in Indonesian or Sundanese. She is patient, kind, and flexible, and encouraging; even though I’m a total beginner in Sundanese, I feel motivated and confident thanks to her. I learn so much from our lessons, and I love that she goes way above and beyond to create interesting materials for us to review together. Hatur nuhun! 💕

Great lesson with Riska! We looked at the "meng" prefix and how it changes depending on several different factors. Riska went through and explained all the example sentences. We also did different exercises to attach the "meng" prefix and to figure out the root word based on the word that includes the "meng" prefix. Riska also helped me out with pronunciation - especially when I read a story from lesson 7. Riska is very helpful and always organized!

I've been taking Indonesian lessons with Riska for about a year now, and I keep learning new things from her. She is patient and kind, and never ceases to encourage me as I'm trying to make my way forward in the language. I always feel supported. Thank you, Riska!
