When my husband and I arrived in Indonesia, he could say a couple of sentences and I could say two words: pagi and terima kasih. I certainly had a lot to learn! The method used at IEP was different than I had experienced before, but I believe it greatly impacted our pronunciation and comprehension in a positive way. In each phase, we gained new skills step by step.
Our teacher was warm, prepared and really helped us understand the culture. We became great friends! I truly appreciate that about the teachers at IEP; they make the effort to understand you as a person, which means a lot when you’re struggling to express yourself in a new language. Learning always happened in the context of daily life and relationships, with the goal of helping us become more at home in our new environment.
When our daughter was born, IEP continued to be a great choice because of their flexibility. We chose our hours and a teacher came to our house. As a new mom, that helped infinitely!
Overall, we couldn’t recommend the program at IEP more. Kami tidak akan lupa hadiahnya yang diberikan oleh administrasi dan penutur- penutur di IEP, yaitu perasaan betah di Indonesia. Di sekolah bahasa ini, kami bukan hanya orang asing sama orang lokal. Kami bukan hanya penutur sama murid… kami sekeluarga!
