Where do you live? The best school in Bali is Cinta Bahasa Indonesian Language School, which has a large school in Ubud and has major clients like Australian Consulate, Australian Volunteers International, John Hardy Silver, The Green School (they write curriculum for all grades and teach High School too). They also have classes at the Canggu Club and in Mertasari in Sanur, also on Gatot Subroto in north Denpasar. Many Private Teachers do not have training or certification and would not get a job at a school like Cinta Bahasa, they make more money from taking up your time and leaving you confused. I know, I learned this the hard way from another course I took in Ubud. I spent two times the money there than I spent at Cinta Bahasa, but I had four times better result! Now I can speak and teach myself. My private teacher never taught me that, they just keep me confused for as long time as possible, until I stop paying.Bahasa Indonesia is easy to learn to speak at a basic level, it should only take you 40-60 hours max.

Where do you live? [/QUOTE]As Mat says in his post and in his profile, he is in or near Kerobokan, a long way from Ubud. I agree that Cinta Bahasa is good but no need to slam private teachers. They can also be excellent.

Hi - I highly recommend a teacher I used (am using) Nika 0897 010 3285.. He's structured, organised and very engaging. Tell him Andrea said to call. if you want any other information PM me - did not want to SMS as I am reading this late..

Hi, I highly recommend Seminyak Language School (near Bintang supermarket). Many of my friends and customers have learned Bahasa Indonesia there and have been very happy with the outcome!

I would be interested in your experience with your one-to-one teacher. I, too, am in Kerobokan, and had a one-to-one teacher when I lived in Denpasar (which was very good at the time.) I have tried some qualified teachers teaching one-to-one, and some are not as good as I would have expected. I had better Indonesian teaching from a guy paid Rp 50,000/hr than a qualified teacher charging Rp 200,000/hr. Maybe it was just personal chemistry. Anyway, a personal recommendation is better than a glossy advert, in my opinion.
