Let's get to know each other.
Why Iwan Yang started Learn Indonesian Hub
Iwan Yang moved from Indonesia to Singapore at the age of 10 and learned English and Chinese on his own. It left him with a lasting fascination with language: how each one works, and how a small change in wording can shift what a sentence really means.
Before Learn Indonesian Hub, Iwan ran a travel agency that specialised in trips to Indonesia. Then came a chance to teach Bahasa Indonesia, and he found the work he wanted to do. In 2018, when space became available in our office, he opened his own school. Learn Indonesian Hub became the first brand of Skills Training Hub Pte. Ltd.
He wrote our course books around the way adults actually pick up a language: what to learn first, what can wait, and how to explain each point to learners who think in English or Mandarin.
What we believe. If you want to learn and keep getting better, we will help you as far as we can. That is why learners who finish a level with us can join later classes of that level again, free, as often as they like, when there's space in the class.
Iwan's first classes
When the school opened, Iwan taught every class himself. These are some of his early learners on their last day, certificates in hand. Today a team of native Indonesian teachers teaches from the same course books.
How we teach Bahasa Indonesia
Five things every Learn Indonesian Hub class has in common.
Classes of 3 to 8
Small enough that you speak in every lesson, with enough classmates to practise conversations.
Speaking comes first
Apps can teach you words. Saying them out loud to a real person is the hard part, so every lesson includes conversation practice.
Native teachers who teach in English
All our teachers grew up speaking Bahasa Indonesia. They explain in English, so you always know why a sentence works.
One course book, in class or online
Every class at your level uses the same book, at Tanjong Pagar or online. You keep your place if you change class, teacher or format.
Repeat a level free
Once you finish a level, you can rejoin later classes of that level free, as often as you like, when there's space in the class.
