Speaking Indonesian

Why speak Indonesian from day one

Indonesian does not conjugate verbs, so you can say new sentences as soon as you know the words. That is the ideal case for speaking practice: build a sentence, say it, repeat.

A sentence to start with

Saya mau makan nasi goreng.

I want to eat fried rice.

Indonesian questions, answered

Can I learn Indonesian for free with 4ToSpeak?

Yes. The free plan needs no card and has no time limit. You get 25 daily energy, about 3 to 4 full lessons a day, and the whole module store is open to you (some modules cost coins you earn by practising).

How does 4ToSpeak teach Indonesian speaking?

Every Indonesian sentence goes through four steps: you order it, translate it, listen and type it, then say it out loud. The last step is the point. You hear how close you were, word by word, instead of tapping an answer.

Do I need a microphone to practise Indonesian?

Yes, for the speaking step. Your browser asks permission the first time, and it works on a phone, a tablet or a computer. The other three steps work without one.

Do I need to know any Indonesian already?

No. Lessons start from short everyday Indonesian sentences and build up, so you can begin from nothing.

Is Indonesian hard to learn for English speakers?

One of the easiest languages for English speakers to start speaking. The sounds are simple and the grammar is light.
