Thema von InteresseSportReisenGeschichte
As a son of a Balinese tour guide, I love sharing the folklore, language, culture, and traditions from Bali, Indonesia. I’m earning a degree to teach Mandarin to international students at a Chinese university. In 2021, I participated in the US State Department's YES Program for cultural exchange and leadership. In 2022, I spent the summer visiting my AFS host family from the YES Program. Each day, I use Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Bali, English and Chinese (Mandarin). I love learning languages and am dedicating my life to teaching languages in order to understand the cultural diversity. I enjoy life-long learning through traveling, and volunteering in social and cultural activities.
I teach Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Bali in my classes using Bahasa, English or Chinese Mandarin for instruction. I enjoy teaching all ages and language levels and welcome overseas Indonesians. The class will be designed around your needs so schedule a trial lesson to discuss your goals. We should be having fun during the learning process. In my undergrad degree from the Chinese university, I’ve been designing learning materials using multiple online formats to make classes more engaging to create a strong connection with my students. I regularly use all four of my languages in public speaking and presenting learning materials for international students and audiences.
I use fun methods such as: learning from songs, games, riddles, local jokes, photos, videos and Power Point to show the language,...
I went for 2 week to Bali and local people were amazed by the level of my Balinese speaking. So very happy with Dena

Dena is very patient, friendly, and skilled at teaching beginners. The class was well-structured, informative, and genuinely useful. I had a range of questions, all of which he answered clearly, and he went above and beyond by sharing insights about Bali that satisfied my curiosity. I really appreciate how the lesson combined language and culture, as I believe the two complement each other perfectly. I’m already looking forward to booking my next lessons with him, matur suksma :)

Dena is the best teacher ever. I love his teaching style. He listens intently and displays calm and patience in his instruction. He always shares unique insights into Indonesian culture and language. The time I spend with him is productive, exciting, and enjoyable. My Indonesian has improved dramatically since he has been my instructor. He truly is an amazing guy and teacher! He deserves a rating higher than 5 stars!

Dena Mandala was very professional and helped me understand both the language and culture of Bali in just my first lesson! Material was thoroughly explained. Will continue taking classes with him!
