Dena Mandala

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 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 told stories about Bali and Indonesia to make me feel like I was there, using the language with him. He provided background on when to use formal and informal phrases so that I would sound like a native. He patiently repeated the phrases until I sounded like a local. He asked about my learning style and adjusted as we went along to suit my learning needs. He was so knowledgeable about the language and customs. that I immediately signed up for a package because I can't wait to have more lessons with him! I didn't know language learning could be so much fun!

I can't say enough good things about Dena. He is a dedicated teacher, and I am enjoying learning. He is able to keep me on track, and is good at correcting my pronunciation , at the same time not killing my ego. I always enjoy my lessons with him. He comes prepared, and stays focused. Very professional.

Dena is such a great tutor. Flexible, professional and knowledgeable. :)

Dena was an excellent teacher. Very patient and engaging. I appreciated his teaching style and I look forward to learning from him the future. Highly recommend!
