    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Sometime the travellers have a problem to communicate with local people in my place who don't speak english. The solution is learn local language like bahasa Indonesia, Madures or Javanese. Most of the people in Bondowoso speak Indonesian,Javanese,Madures (in village) or Arabic (in the city). Also if you can speak Indonesian with students it will be better for communication with local people or students in the school. Because you have bilingual interactions. This case make stundents easier to learn English with you exspecially for Elementary students.
    How to learn it? I can help you through note book and practice directly.
