Learning Bahasa in Bali: A Journey of Gratitude, Growth, and Cultural Connection

(Please be kind 🥰) Practicing my Indonesian with a special message 🇮🇩 English Translation; Happy Birthday to the Republic of Indonesia! I’m Mia, from Australia. I’ve lived in Bali for a year and seven months. I love Indonesia and Bali because the people are so kind and the culture is so beautiful. I’m currently learning Indonesian with a teacher, and I want to learn because it’s so important. Very important - Bali has given my family a home, and I’m so thankful, Thank you so much, Bali and Indonesia. Happy 80th Independence Day, Indonesia 🇮🇩 🥰 🥰🥰🥰🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 Filmed something for Indonesian class today and only realised afterwards just how far I’ve come! I’m still nowhere near fluent in conversation, but I’m loving every chance to learn and practise in real life here in Bali. It’s a little nerve-wracking to share this… but I’m proud of the progress and even more excited to keep going! to my Indonesian friends - thank you for your warm welcome I can’t wait to celebrate Independence Day with you! 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩 Big thanks to my teachers at Better Learn Now @blnbali for making learning Bahasa so fun!
