LearnIndonesian Wants to Teach the Bahasa People Actually Use
An iPhone Indonesian-learning app that puts formal and slang registers side by side, teaches affix patterns, and scores pronunciation from the learner’s own voice.
Field notes
Lessons pair dialogue, vocabulary, grammar, cultural notes, and exercises, with audio that can be slowed down and recorded for comparison. The site lists 26 units, 130 lesson sections, and 183 dialogue recordings, and says progress is checked on the server rather than by answer keys stored on the device. Its dictionary explicitly contrasts formal Bahasa baku with everyday gaul, including examples such as tidak versus nggak/gak.
