Indonesia is Singapore’s closest neighbour and one of its most important economic partners. Indonesian is closely related to Malay, one of Singapore’s official languages, and the two languages share many similarities across the region.
Learning Indonesian can help you:
communicate more easily with Indonesian colleagues and clients
build stronger relationships in regional business environments
navigate everyday situations while travelling or working in Indonesia
connect more naturally with local communities
For professionals working across Southeast Asia, Indonesian is one of the most useful regional languages.
Our Indonesian courses are designed for learners in Singapore who work with Indonesian businesses or travel regularly to Indonesia.
Typical learners include:
professionals working with Indonesian clients or regional teams
entrepreneurs developing business connections in Indonesia
expats relocating to Jakarta or other Indonesian cities
individuals who travel frequently to Indonesia for work
Lessons focus on practical communication used in professional and everyday interactions in Indonesia.
Indonesian, or Bahasa Indonesia, is spoken by more than 200 million people and serves as the official language of Indonesia, the world’s fourth most populous country.
The language is written using the Latin alphabet and is known for its relatively straightforward pronunciation and grammar compared with many other languages in the region.
Indonesian developed from Malay, a language historically used for trade across Southeast Asia. Over time it evolved into the modern national language used in government, education, media, and everyday communication across Indonesia’s many islands.
Our Indonesian courses follow the internationally recognised Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), but we describe them in practical terms so you can easily find the right starting point.

Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) and Malay are closely related languages and share many similarities in vocabulary and grammar.
However, they are used in different countries and have some differences in pronunciation, spelling, and everyday expressions. Learners who already speak Malay often find it easier to understand Indonesian.
If you are unsure about your CEFR level, we recommend taking a placement assessment to ensure you get the most from your Indonesian language programme. The assessment fee can be deducted from your course cost.
Yes. Group Indonesian classes are available for learners who prefer shared learning and discussion. Select courses are offered as public groups each month.
Private groups can be booked for any of our courses for 3 or more learners. Contact us on Whatapp for more information.
Language learning progress varies between learners, but the CEFR framework provides a useful guide to the typical learning time needed to progress between levels.
Beginner (CEFR A1–A2)
Many learners reach basic conversational ability after roughly 150–200 hours practice, both in and out of the classroom.
Intermediate (CEFR B1–B2)
Developing stronger conversational fluency typically requires an additional 200–300 hours of practice.
Advanced (CEFR C1–C2)
Achieving advanced proficiency usually involves significantly more extended practice and exposure.
Yes. All Indonesian courses are delivered online, allowing learners in Singapore to join lessons from anywhere.
Online lessons also make it easier to schedule regular practice sessions and focus on speaking and listening skills.

I recently completed a French course with Lingua Learn, and it was a great experience. It was well structured, the materials were engaging, I really enjoyed the course. I recommend it.
For years I’ve been looking unsuccessfully for good and affordable German classes for my kids. I am so happy that I learned about Lingua Learn a few months ago. My kids love the classes. The team is very supportive and the prices are very reasonable. Above all, as a working mom, I don’t have to worry about transportation, since classes are online. Thank you very much team Lingua Learn for an outstanding service.
I highly enjoyed the Spanish course with Susana. She was able to change topics each lesson while still providing grammatical exercises. I learned a lot. Can’t wait to continue and improve my level!
I recently completed my Italian A1.1 course and had a fantastic experience! The course was engaging and well-structured, offering a great balance between grammar, vocabulary, and practical conversation skills. One of the highlights was our instructor, Ruben, who made the learning process both enjoyable and insightful. His sense of humor and real-life experiences made each class lively and relatable, keeping us motivated throughout the course.
I kept putting off learning Arabic as I found it hard but with Ms. Shaimaa the classes were interactive and fun. We got to practice a lot in class. I am starting my next level soon so I am excited to learn more and start finally having conversations in Arabic with my friends. Thank you, Shaimaa and Lingua Learn!
