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 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!

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!

The teacher knows what is necessary to learn and insisist on repreating and translating and making sentences in a gentle way and gives plenty of examples to memorise it more easily. I enjoy the classes and learn a lot, matur suksma 🙏

Dena is a very good teacher, gives lots of info in the short time of the lesson. He is very friendly and patient and follows the pace of the student. I really enjoy learning the balinese language, Matur Suksma
