Hi all -
I'll be spending September and October in Indo as I search for answers about possibly moving there as I enter into my 'old bule' phase. I'm sitting here in the US of A, which isn't big on opportunities to learn bahasa Indonesia. I found a website ...

... where for about $8 a month I can at least get a good exposure to the basics of the language. I've been doing the lessons repeatedly, and I'm finding when I go back to previous lessons after a break, I've had some retention. However, no one to speak with, which would be helpful now. But it's a start! And I can vouch for the old wisdom that learning a new language later in life is far different than doing so when you're you're young. Old brains aren't that pliable any more!
