Reviews
The teaching, learning style applied is very similar to the Pimsleur Approach, which is scientific and extremely useful, effective, and successful. I enjoyed the first lesson, Introductions, very much. As an applied linguist, this type of teaching, learning style is something I value very much....Read full review »

The lesseons are presented slowly and methodically and give a good overview of some basis structures in Indonesian. You can tell that they put a lot of love in their podcast and really want pepople to learn. I bought the premium version and it has helped a lot!
GJR1969 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/01/19
I really enjoyed the free versions before I moved to Indonesia, so decided to purchase the premium once I arrived to help speed my learning. Unfortunately the files are extremely large and the internet speed where I am in Indonesia is not able to download them. I have reached out multiple times...Read full review »

What I like about these lessons is the very clear articulation and enunciation. I can listen while doing other things and not have to resort immediately to the printed word to understand what I have heard. it is especially helpful when Shaun reiterates what Cici has said. I am really enjoying...Read full review »

This series of lessons provides an excellent foundation in Indonesian and makes a good supplement to any textbook. Very easy to follow, and the combination of verbal lessons and study guides reinforces the content from the speakers. Maybe more basic vocabulary would be good but that can but found...Read full review »

Shaun and Cici have delevoped a really easy-to-follow podcast. It's so enjoyable and interactive that I could communicate Bahasa (Indonesian) in just a couple lessons. It's perfect for you to start talking with the local people in Indonesia. Thank you so much Shaun and Cici, take care, hati hati!

Bolts & Nuts via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/29/17
I am about to head to Bali for my sixth time and thought I should really try to advance my understanding of Indonesian. This program with Sean and Cici has been fun and really easy to learn and I would now be comfortable conversing in everyday conversations. Thank you, Terima Kasih!

Many years back I did an immersion language course in Java. Decades later this course brings it all back. It is elegant in design, logical in progression and clear in its pronunciation. The mix of a native speaker and a Bostonian liguist works particularly well. I am off to Bali again in a week...Read full review »

Really enjoying the podcasts. Helpful in refreshing my Indonesian skills. Also the worksheets and language studies they send though are great.

I love this podcast, it is the best.. thank you guys
Sesho_50 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/02/17
Great podcast. I'd say I'm somewhere between beginner and intermediate level prior to starting this podcast. I've never had any formal tuition, so this really fills in the gaps and explains things well. Well done dan makasih banyak Shaun and Cici, sampai nanti!

Just try, learn and have fun. Should be continued!
seb-berlin via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 07/16/16
I am doing a part-time course in Bahasa Indonesia at the moment. That is only once a week. This course, which is so user-friendly and convenient, is my daily go-to. Here I learn words which help to make sense - and make sentences - of what I am studying elsewhere. When my part-time unit finishes,...Read full review »

Very simple and manageable way of learning every day indonedsian language as a start. Thank you Saun and Cici for this great tool. Looking forward to starting premium with you soon!
Masimachiq via Apple Podcasts · United Arab Emirates · 02/11/16
This podcast exceeded my expectations, and the reasons being the following: - they have managed to create lessons that are neither too comprehensive nor too long - they are building your vocabulary by learning everyday relevant & useful words & phrases - the pace is just about right - the...Read full review »
Flying Norwegian via Apple Podcasts · Norway · 02/11/16
I've recently moved to Indonesian with my husband. While he is a native, he is not a good teacher. But these audio lessons have given me a very great basic understanding of the language. I'm hoping to take advantage of the premium package in the future. For now, spending a few minutes...Read full review »

i have already done the pimlser course which was good but doesn’t continue. So a lot of this is revision for me. It gives very good background and i have learnt things in more depth. My only criticism is that the lessons are short and don’t roll on from one to the next. So when i am cooking or...Read full review »

Easy to understand lessons, well paced. You'll be communicating with locals very soon 🇮🇩 🇦🇺
Bluesncountry via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/15/15
I have only started lessons a couple of weeks ago and can already use basic but very convenient sentences. The podcast is a great way to learn as you can go at your own pace and replay episods until you finally remember the sentences. Cici and Shaun are the perfect hosts as they combine native...Read full review »

I am loving listening to the podcasts. Everything is clearly explained and articulated. The podcasts are fun and engaging. I am going to sign up for the Premium course too.

한국어로 하는 인니어 강좌가 없어서 영어로 하는거 듣고 있는데 집중도 잘 되고 여러번 들어도 안 질려요! 감사합니다
유리아 via Apple Podcasts · South Korea · 01/29/15
A very accessible programme. Includes cultural mores, which is great. Phrases are true to life, unlike many language programmes which give sentences and phrases which are highly unlikely to be used in every day parlance.
penjelajah via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/25/15
I can strongly recommand it to whom want to learn Indonesian or Malaysian. Studying one lesson for everyday helps me alot to talk with my international friend. thanks shuan and cici

I just want to thank Shawn and Cece again for this free course! I planned a trip to Bali at the last minute and have been listening to the lessons every night before I fall asleep.

Brainbeats via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/08/14
I’ve struggled to learn even the basics of languages via podcasts in the past as the material seems to move to fast and I feel left behind. The bite sized lessons are perfect and I can revisit anytime as they are quick and easy. I am definitely enjoying the experience far more than previous...Read full review »

A beautiful App to learn Indonesian. Terima Kasih Banyak!
Zerogravity19 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/14
A truly worthwhile podcast with top-notch sound quality and audio production. Regular revision included in the episodes makes a welcome change from most language podcasts that tend to simply assume you will magically learn and never forget anything they have taught you before. Although there are...Read full review »
Enkelkind via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/15/14
This is podcast is exceptionally well organized, easy to follow and helpful. Lessons are broken up into manageable topics and last for about 10 minutes. They build on each other in a very logical way. This is the best self-study audio guide for foreign languages that I have ever come across.
DCIndo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/14
I studied Indonesian many years ago at university and have always regretted not keeping it up. I've been listening to these podcasts as a way of refreshing my memory.

Zoltan1965 via Apple Podcasts · Hungary · 12/30/13
The lessons are useful and well-paced, but the non-native narrator (bule guy) should NEVER pronounce the Indonesian words. I think it would be best (5 Stars) if the native Indonesian speakers were the only ones to pronounce the Indonesian words. This is to prevent any inadvertent replication...Read full review »

Franklin kelly via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/13/13
These lessons are brilliant. I've been listening to them in my car and have learned a lot more than in class lessons that i've had in the past. I practiced my Bahasa Indonesia in Bali recently and was thrilled to be able to have some basic conversations. Thanks Shaun and Cici!
loochh via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/13/13
Lessons were very helpful and great for beginners, thanks to the Learn Indonesian team.
Henkiehaas via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/11/13
Good paced learning and helped me a lot in preparing for my trip to Indonesia. However, my only complaint is...why did you stop at Lesson 48? Are you discontinuing this podcast?
reginaldis via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/16/13
The Learning Indonesia app is fabulous for my needs. The bit sized 5-10 minute lessons are just the right length to keep it going as a daily practice. The PDF book has been essential; it is organised lesson-by-lesson so I can visualise and remember the words in my mind. And the Indonesian and...Read full review »

I only just started learning indonesian and as only few tools for learning this language are on the market, this podcast has been the greatest help so far. What you are teaching is useful and the sound is of good quality. thanks!
kundin17 via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 05/26/13
Spending an increasing amount of time in Indonesia it seems impolite not to try to communicate in Bahasa Indonesia. The approach taken in this program has really made learning easy and accessible in sensible chunks. If you like this you'll love the Premium version which is also great value and...Read full review »

I am very much enjoying these "Learning Indonesian" lessons. The methodology used makes learning so enjoyable that it's no work at all.

What a bargain. A course in Indonesian where I am able to listen to a native speaker and it is free! I already knew a little so I am racing through it, but even in the beginner lessons still learning a lot and learning better pronunciation (mengerti, for example). I am definitely thinking that...Read full review »

Ilove bali via Apple Podcasts · Switzerland · 03/13/13
I'm only on lesson 4, but so far I've been really impressed. Will almost definitely upgrade to the premium package. As a few have mentioned, a little less music and intros would be helpful. But there is a skip forward function, so easily by-passed.
Rollyroo 09 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/26/13
Ms
i scanned through all 48 lessons in three weeks. It is a very good source of learning Indonesian for beginners.
