Personal, practical Indonesian lessons — online across Europe, and in person in Warsaw. Learn the language Indonesians actually speak, while discovering the culture behind it.
Why learn
Everyone has a different reason. Your lessons will be built around yours.
Is Indonesia already part of your family? Learn to communicate with your partner’s family, understand everyday conversations and feel more connected when you’re surrounded by Indonesian speakers. We’ll focus on the Indonesian you’re actually likely to hear and use.
Going to Bali, Java, Sumatra — or somewhere further afield? Learn how to order food, use transport, shop, ask directions, make small talk and deal with everyday situations. A little Bahasa Indonesia can completely change the experience of travelling through Indonesia.
Already know some Indonesian but freeze when someone actually starts talking? Let’s talk. We’ll work on listening, pronunciation, confidence and natural everyday Bahasa Indonesia.
Never spoken a word of Indonesian? Perfect. We’ll start simply and you’ll begin creating useful sentences from your first lessons. No previous experience required.
Working with Indonesian colleagues, clients or organisations? Lessons can focus on practical communication as well as the cultural differences that influence how Indonesians communicate professionally.
Real Indonesian
A textbook teaches you one thing. Then you arrive in Indonesia.
We'll learn proper Bahasa Indonesia, of course. But I'll also teach you the language you'll actually hear around you.
More than words
Sudah makan?
Have you eaten?
Often not a question about food at all — just a way of showing that someone cares.
These are the things an app can’t always explain.
Meet your teacher
I was born and raised in Indonesia and Bahasa Indonesia is my native language. My life has since taken me around the world.
I’ve lived in Indonesia, Brussels, New Zealand and Poland.
I’m now raising two children in an international, multilingual family.
I’m also a yoga teacher and completed an extensive 800-hour yoga teacher training in New Zealand.
Teaching yoga has influenced the way I teach generally. I believe people learn best when they feel comfortable. You don’t have to worry about getting every word right. You don’t have to be embarrassed about your accent. And you definitely don’t have to wait until your Indonesian is “good enough” before you start speaking. Just start talking. I’ll help you with the rest.

Where
Most lessons take place online, so you can learn from home, your office, or wherever suits you — anywhere in Europe.
Warsaw is home, so occasional face-to-face lessons are possible there, depending on availability and location. Please get in touch before booking an in-person lesson.

Don’t have months to study? You don’t need them. This short course focuses entirely on the Indonesian you’re most likely to need while travelling — restaurants, Grab & Gojek, taxis, hotels, markets, shopping, money, directions, numbers, small talk and useful questions. And, perhaps most importantly: Jangan pedas, ya. Not spicy, please. 🌶️

The name
There’s a little Indonesian hiding inside the name of this website.
Bahasa = language. Anda = you.
So bahasa Anda means your language.
But my name is Anda. So it also means Anda’s language.
Either way — it’s yours now. 😊
