"The language that is strategically useful, most likely to be useable on low-cost, nearby holidays and relatively easy to grasp in its basics is Indonesian. It has simple pronunciation and structure, and a phonetic script using the Roman alphabet."
Hamish McDonald "Asia Pacific" Editor, April 2008

The Balai Bahasa Indonesia courses consist of separate modules.
Level 1 module (Beginners 1 – Survival) covers basic communication skills with the emphasis on speaking, listening and reading skills, providing learners with the confidence to communicate for the purpose of exchanging personal information and transactions.
Level 2 modules (Beginners 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D) provide a variety of workplace and social scenarios with similar grammatical difficulty and complexity. These modules follow on from Level 1 but can be studied in any order.
Level 3 modules (Elementary 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D) consolidate and broaden vocabulary and language use. These modules follow on from Level 2 but can be studied in any order
Conversation Classes are aimed at people who want to maintain their Indonesian fluency with targeted practice sessions. Classes are structured around specific interest topics and focus on oral communication.
If sufficient demand permits, all levels are available every term.
