Hello! I'm excited you’ve chosen Indonesian as your next language to master! I am Richard Halim, a graduate student from Blitar, Indonesia, and I am ready to guide you as you explore this wonderful language. I have experience as an exchange student and have guided fellow exchange students from around the globe. My passion lies in sharing about Indonesia with people from other countries and exploring new cultures and languages. I speak Indonesian, Javanese, English, and Dutch, and I am actively learning more about the languages I speak. As a fellow language learner, I can provide insights into the learning process from an on-the-ground perspective.

Me as a Teacher

With experiences in the academic and professional field in Indonesia, I am beyond thrilled to share not only the Indonesian language but also Indonesian culture in general. This is perfect for future international students and professionals looking to expand and explore Indonesia.

My lessons & teaching style

To immerse my students, I occasionally conduct virtual tours using Google Street View, where I can introduce them to Indonesian street signs, adverts, and other interesting aspects that are rarely discussed in formal lesson plans. I can teach Bahasa Indonesia to both beginner and intermediate-level students. With various teaching tools and materials, I am confident that regardless of your proficiency level, you will be able to pick up interesting tips and tricks about Bahasa Indonesia with me. Terima kasih telah ingin belajar Bahasa Indonesia dengan saya! See you in my virtual class.

I really enjoy Richard’s teaching style. He’s friendly, approachable, and easy-going, which makes learning with him a comfortable experience. His teaching is clear and well-structured, and after each class, he sends me all the materials in a Google Doc format, so I can easily access them anytime. We started with basic greetings, and now we’ve moved on to numbers and currency. With each lesson, I’m learning more and more, and it’s great because Richard is an excellent teacher.
