My experience in Learning Bahasa Indonesia as a new language at Universitas Negeri Malang, Indonesia
My Indonesian classes were awesome because I had good teachers, student-teacher relationship was nice in class which helped me to learn quickly the language, the interest to learn the new language, using different learning materials like text books and internet programs like Babbel, interacting with Indonesian natives , the conducive environment at state university of Malang also favored me to learn the language easily , regular attending of classes as well as extensive teaching by teachers , with all that I was able to speak Indonesian language within three months and eased my master’s program where the medium of instruction is Bahasa Indonesia

The reasons for my success in obtaining a high distinction grade are as follows
