Our Programs

The way of training of Pak Danang has resulted that by now (after little one year), that I can express myself reasonably well in the Indonesian language in the daily situations. To my opinion this result is achieved due to Pak Danang’s approach to not only teach from the book by words and basic sentences, but also to discuss with us during each lesson in Indonesian the daily events which we experience. This way you are not only learning the book but also many words which I can use in my daily dealings. But even more important, in this way you will learn more quickly how to apply the words in sentences.

Ik heb nu bijna een jaar les en ben zeer tevreden over Sentra Lingua en de manier waarop Pak Danang lesgeeft. Effectieve en praktische lessen hebben ervoor gezorgd dat ik in korte tijd al eenvoudige zinnen kon praten en me zo al snel kon redden in winkels en restaurants. De lessen zijn goed ingedeeld en behelzen zowel theorie als praktijk. Wat het extra leuk maakt is het uitwisselen van informatie over het land waar hij is geboren en waar ik ben geboren (Nederland). Naast het leren van de taal krijg je zo ook informatie over de geschiedenis en cultuur van Indonesie. Dat maakt het erg interessant.

We have been living in Jakarta since May 2014 and my husband and I wanted to learn about both the culture and language of Indonesia.
Pak Danang has been our Bahasa Indonesia teacher for about 8 months now and in this time we have found him to be a very friendly and patient teacher. We have progressed quickly language wise and have learnt so much about Indonesia from him. He is flexible and always accommodates our schedule. We always look forward to our lessons and his good sense of humor means that we often have a real laugh together (how strange for schooling ). We highly recommend him.

Mr Danang Hastoaji is an excellent teacher, because he teaches through casual conversation in combination with the structure of a book. After a few months I could already talk and read Bahasa Indonesia in social as well as professional situations. He is very patient, explains things well and works in a structured manner. Next to the language, he explains all kind of Indonesian cultural matters. Danang is very flexible when it comes to scheduling lessons, which is practical when you learn the language on top of a fulltime job. I can highly recommend him as a teacher.

Pak Danang is an excellent language teacher. He is very patient and has never been tiring of explaining & answering the questions I asked him about the meaning of the words. I have recommended him to my colleague who has previously changed the teachers already twice during rather short period. My colleague was also very satisfied with pak Danang. He told me that he has recommended pak Danang to his friends in the other company as well.

I am very happy with the Bahasa Indonesia lessons I have been taking with Ibu Joharnie. Ibu Joharnie is an excellent teacher – she is very patient and is understanding when I have questions or do not understand the course content. Ibu Joharnie takes time to explain words and sentence structure and she is also able to provide alternatives and suggestions that fit with my current vocabulary. Although we are only one third of the way through the course I am already feeling more confident with my language development and I look forward to completing the remaining lessons.

Pak Danang is a patient teacher with good humor and has the ability to tailor the lessons according the requirements of the day. His conversational teaching style makes the lessons feel like a meeting between friends, and they also sets excellent examples for later use in dialogue with others. I recommend pak Danang for everybody wanting to learn Bahasa Indonesia!

. I am highly satisfied with the course as I was soon able to speak fluently. Learning with Danang was always easy. He is very flexible in terms of scheduling the lessons to my work schedule as well as organizing the content of the lesson. There was always a good balance of learning new vocabulary, speaking and grammar. Learning with Danang was never a burden, but very enjoyable. Above all Danang functioned not only a as language teacher for me, but also as a cultural guide. Topics to speak about were always free of choice. Thus while learning the language, I learnt a lot about Indonesia as well

Pak Danang was always willing to adjust to my schedule when I was available and was very patient when I would fall behind in my language skills. I am not a person who takes well to learning new languages, however with Pak Danang I learned quickly. He included conversation as part of each lesson which not only incorporated language skills but also introduced me to many cultural aspects of Indonesia. Pak Danang is extremely attentive and encouraging, ensuring that each chapter from the text was understood before proceeding on to the next. He has a personality and sense of humor that immediately makes people feel relaxed, comfortable, and not intimidated which is essential for learning. I would absolutely, without hesitation, recommend Pak Danang to anyone interested in learning Bahasa Indonesia.

“mit Herrn Danang macht das Lernen richtig Spaß. Er fordert die Schüler auf, eigene Erfahrungen in der Fremdsprache zu formulieren. Er ist als Lehrer korrekt und zuverlässig, sowie manchmal auch streng. Das hat mir sehr geholfen. Ich möchte ihn hiermit gerne weiter empfehlen

Danang’s teaching is consistently communication-oriented. I realy like that. It makes you learning the language simply by using it. And for bahasa Indonesia this approach is really very suitable

My lessons with Vita have been very good. She accepted all of my questions and she is good in answering my questions that worked in the past that i need. The certain thing that i want to learn, she is flexible and teaching with those thing versus going straight from the book. She is also flexible on timing when we needed and she is also speak and understanding english very well.
