Why Learn Indonesian?

Indonesian is one of the most spoken languages in existence; roughly 200 million people speak it as either a first or second language. Interestingly, about three times more people (more than 150 million) speak it as a second language than their primary tongue. It is the official language of Indonesia and is spoken in practically every corner of the world, from Singapore to South Korea and the United States to the United Arab Emirates.
Learning Indonesian online could have a big impact on your personal or professional life. And if you need to study the Indonesian language, Pimsleur is the perfect place to learn!

Learn Indonesian with the Pimsleur App
Speak Indonesian with Confidence. Read like a Native.
Through his research, Dr. Pimsleur found that traditional teaching methods like memorizing vocabulary, conjugating verbs, and practicing grammar actually SLOW DOWN your ability to learn Indonesian. He called them the kiss of total silence because they made it nearly impossible to speak the Indonesian language. It's the reason learning a language feels so difficult, when it should feel totally natural.
It makes sense when you think about it. Have you ever seen a toddler memorizing vocabulary lists? Or picking out parts of speech in a sentence diagram? Of course not. Children learn language the way we were meant to ‐ by listening. That's because we are hardwired to remember sounds and store them in our memory automatically.
It's the same way you pick up a song on the radio. You don't have to study the lyrics or understand musical notes and chords to remember a song. Chances are, if you hear a song once you can sing along the next time you hear it.
