Month 2 Language Project update

After two intense months of studying Indonesian—dedicating up to
eight hours a day, seven days a week—I’m excited to share my
progress in this episode of the Language and Travel Hacking
Podcast. I’ve reached a solid B1 level, able to hold
conversations with patient speakers using formal Indonesian.
Skipping Bali’s beaches and parties to focus entirely on learning
has paid off, and I’m now ready to take my skills beyond
structured lessons and into real-world interactions. With a
spontaneous, unscripted conversation video on the way, you can
judge my progress for yourself.


Now, as I prepare to travel through Indonesia—starting in Jakarta
before spending a month in Jogja—I face a new challenge: shifting
from formal textbook Indonesian to the casual, everyday language
spoken by locals. Adapting to natural speech won’t be easy, but
I’m eager to fully immerse myself and explore more of Indonesia
beyond Bali. Tune in to hear about my language journey so far and
what’s next as I continue my adventure!
