"Hi there, Klarijn here, but feel free to call me Clare. I hold a PhD in Indonesian Studies and am passionate about learning and teaching languages. I've been working in academia for twenty-something years, as a language instructor, tutor, assistant professor, associate lecturer, and academic editor and translator, and have taught Indonesian to hundreds of students from a wide range of backgrounds for 15+ years. I have studied and lived in Indonesia on various locations for a number of years and have been managing a resort in East Bali since 2008. If you're interested in Indonesia and the Indonesian language, then I'd love to connect with you and share my knowledge of Indonesia's languages and cultures. Learning a new language is extremely rewarding and a great way to connect with others. If you're looking for a teacher to get you going or help you progress, I'd be delighted to assist you on your language-learning journey."
