Back in March I met a really cool Indonesian academic/lecturer named Nelly that lives in Auckland with her husband Rizky. She's connected with AUT University and has begun giving me some one to one tutoring in Bahasa Indonesia - we had the first lesson in person and the second and upcoming ones on Skype. I must admit that as much as I've had some success teaching myself with help from friends and got myself off the ground (she assessed me as currently being at a low intermediate level) I feel I'd arrived at a point where I needed some guidance, direction and actual instruction! There's only so many ways and times you can talk about yourself, hobbies, work, family and surroundings before you hit the first wall and start floundering on a plateau - at this point you run the risk of simply losing interest and motivation. For me that's not a big issue because I leave for Indonesia in a month so the need to speak as well as I can is a pressing one - but for my language learning in general... I'm loving having the guidance and help!
TERIMA KASIH BANYAK NELLY!
