InterestsSports & FitnessTravelHistory
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.

Terima kasih Bli Dena for another great lesson! I highly recommend Dena to everyone looking to get insights about Balinese culture and history, especially if you are living on the island. In our lessons, we weave Indonesian vocabulary and conversation skills with chats in English about the cultural or historical questions I have about Bali or Indonesia in general. I'll keep doing lessons with Dena because of the insights I'm gaining from our wonderful conversations!!

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 was absolutely lovely to work with! He had clear communication through out our whole interaction. From the start he was interested in my goals. He was punctual and clear about his availability. We decided it would be best for me to write out an introduction. I was challenged to only use my notes and my spotty memory to write out this letter. It sure was a fun exercise! Through the whole lesson, he was very engaged. He was kind about with the corrections, and wasn't too critical. He helped me with pronunciation of the more complex words. I even left the lesson with a few new phrases under my belt to use with my friends! I am very satisfied with the quality of work Dena provides. He is here to make sure his students are having a good time while learning. It might just be easy for him considering his fun-loving and bubbly personality. I look forward to working with him again!
