About Me
italki teacher since Nov 6, 2022Interest topicSports & 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.Me as a Teacher
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.My lessons & teaching style
I use fun methods such as: learning from songs, games, riddles, local jokes, photos, videos and Power Point to show the language, local culture and traditions from Indonesia. I will use a relaxed study approach, hence my students would learn the language without pressure and see me as their friend. My goal for teaching is to help my students use Bahasa for everyday conversations with native speakers while traveling or making friends with Indonesians. I encourage my students to be confident when speaking Bahasa Indonesia or Bahasa Bali in public by also teaching local culture and traditions in Indonesia, especially from Bali. I'm excited to start our language journey together!My teaching material

Mr. Mandala's class was well structured and clear. It was a very good introduction into Basa Bali. Will definitely go back for another lesson.

这位老师真的超乎我的意料，他的中文水平非常高，能流利的使用中文，英语也讲的非常好，他能深入浅出一步步引导。即便是在第一节课堂，在慢慢的引导当中获取很多知识，而且课程进行非常有趣，轻松不会让人感觉到紧张成。另外，老师真的很帅气！

Dena is the best! He really is a good listener. I love that he is patient. He transitions smoothly when goes over my errors, because he simply doesn't tell, instead he writes examples with easy to understand explanation.
