Description
My name's Hary, from Indonesia, an English graduate of Jakarta University. With my family (a wife, three children), now I live in Wonosobo, one of the magnificent tourism spots in Central Java since it has Dieng Plateau, the popular 2000-meter high land where you can enjoy Europe-like weather and the beauty of typically tropical mountainous landscapes. What is more? You can also see some different rare things on this land: the cluster of the oldest Hindu Temples (though incomparable to those of the greatest Prambanan and Borobudur), sulfuric color lake and, most of all, the crater called Sikidang, a volcano where you can watch in a very close distance. Dieng is 25 km away from my place, and to reach it you can take a public bus that leaves every 30 minute from 6 am to 5 pm.
Recently I'm focusing on two different projects: English classes for the local community (kids and adult) and producing videos youtube contents. I teach English both on and off line. I used to have a small school building in town, but now at home. I have two tiny classroom at home (occupying 1-4 people) for private students. The class starts from 8 am to 8.30 pm, both on and off line, in some intervals: 8.00-9.30, 9.30-11.00 am, 2.00-3.30 pm and so on. I'm sure it'll be helpful to have your hands in terms of speaking partners for my class. You don't have to speak a perfect English for this purpose, as my students are mostly beginners. Simply being partners for their speaking practice of daily conversation will be very valuable for them. In addition, I also have a youtube account and, not regularly, produce a content on everything. Your part in this project will be a highly fun for sure.Types of help and learning opportunities
Art ProjectsLanguage practiceTeachingCultural exchange and learning opportunities
I'm a talk active in general matters, wide open minded, and love showing you something, so I hope you will have a picture of our way of life in Java.
For a movie, producing together a small documentary of our rural life might also take you to a detail knowledge of our real life. Learning Indonesian language might be another interest.Help
Sitting and having a talk with my student(s) of everything in simple ways of English in the classroom is the main help I need. But it doesn't have to be indoors, you may also take a short walk out around. When I need to produce my youtube content, involving you in this matter would be very great of course.

In case you take an interest in learning our Bahasa Indonesia or Bahasa Jawa, I can teach you these.Accommodation
I would provide you with free bedroom and a two-meal day as long as you stay with me. In spare time during your stay, if I'm not too busy I can possibly take you round for sight seeings. Mobile WiFi is available.
What else ...
I'd prefer those of big humor, smiling and laughing since I believe happiness in any matter always starts from this atmosphere. I need to confirm that you like children in the English classes. I'm myself a heavy smoker, so I don't mind if you are. But no alcohol, nor drugs.
