Bahasa Kita

Bahasa means ‘language’, kita means ‘our’. So Bahasa Kita means ‘our language’.

Bahasa Kita is a practical Indonesian language learning site which teaches the difference between daily spoken Indonesian and the formal language learned at schools or courses. Anyone can learn Indonesian from Bahasa Kita.

To fully understand Indonesian, it is important to learn both formal and informal grammar and vocabulary as some daily spoken words are not included in dictionaries, but are often used on television, and in the print media and advertising.

Bahasa Kita explains the different rules and grammar for formal and informal Indonesian, with a helpful glossary of words and advice on how they are used in both situations.

The site is regularly updated with the new words or expressions, acronyms and slang which is useful for people learning Indonesian and for Indonesian people living abroad who want to brush up on their language skills.

For travellers to Indonesia, Bahasa Kita offers a guide on common words which will help them get around the country with ease.
