We are ready in exchanging cultures and languages. Our mother tongue is Minang and Bahasa (Indonesia) is our national language. Our mother tongue; Minang is unique, while Bahasa is learned in 45 countries. It is easy to use. You just say based on it is written.
Your presence will boost our students' motivation, and they can interact by using the target language (basic English) directly.

NATURE
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We have beautiful nature in Sumatera Barat. There are Lakes, mountains, jungles, beaches, valley, and canyon. I think you can start googling with the keyword: Sumatera Barat, West Sumatera, Bukittinggi, Sawahlunto, Payakumbuh, Sianok Canyon, Jam Gadang, Harau Valley, Minangkabau.
I would love to try hiking and climbing to the mountain; Mount Merapi in Bukittinggi - Sumatera Barat - Indonesia. Because I live and work in three different cities, so I know those cities very much.
We are very welcome for both native and non-native speaker to join us.
Please do not hesitate to contact and ask me some questions about the program or everything you would like to know.
Warm regard,
Deni
