Bintang Bahasa


Free Introductory Materials
Bintang Bahasa's philosophy of language learning is simple: Language is about expressing ideas clearly and easily.

Traditional grammar and structure-oriented teaching is NOT effective. New programs offering near magical results do NOT deliver as promised. 'Learning like a child again' is NOT the answer.

What we offer is a comprehensive and affordable program with graduated audio materials, written scripts, and exercises that will massively increase your learning curve.

Essentially we've divided the program into 10 levels from absolute beginner (Level 0) to nearly fluent (Level 9).

To find out what level you're at and to plan your lesson program, visit the Levels home page.

And for some extra focus on your vocabulary and to help you REALLY understand a word more completely go to 10 Words a Day.

And if you're looking for a particular word, use our handy dictionary.

Lots of other material available so if you like what you see here, please sign up for lessons with one of our great teachers.

...NEW!! Just added new audio files!
Here's something to help you 'hit the ground running' when you arrive in Indonesia. "Tiba di Bandara" (Arriving at the airport) - This booklet takes you word by word and step by step from immigration to your hotel to your friend's house for dinner.. and it's not at all like most boring phrase books.   Tiba di Bandara
(to listen to a recording while reading along click here or on Level 1 file 5.)

Another very useful guide that will serve you well, all the way to an intermediate level, is our Basic Course Book.

The best booklet for absolute beginners is our "Apa ini? Apa itu?". It will begin laying the firm foundation necessary for all your future learning. Have a look to see why it works so well. Basic Indonesian - Booklet 1

If you'd like a printable version of any or all these, just email us and we'll send you the link to download a FREE copy.

How can I learn Indonesian easily?

The secret to a good language program is actually VERY obvious to most students. The problem is, nobody has ever put a program together based on the NEEDS of the students. Until now. We still surprise ourselves with how well the program works and still wonder why nobody has done it before.
