Over the past few months, we’ve been putting together a “Beginner Indonesian” video series here on the language & culture blog to help you get started learning this great language, even if you have absolutely zero experience with it.

Through this 10-part series, you’ll learn the basics of Bahasa Indonesia: the alphabet, greetings, numbers, survival phrases, and much more. Bookmark these videos, follow along at home, and you’ll have a nice foundation on which to build up your skills. Here are all of the videos, posted in chronological order:
