Wow, what a semester. Looking back, I really set high expectations for myself. I forgot how difficult it is to learn a different language. On top that, teaching yourself along with the help of a language partner is not as easy as I had imagined. My language partner helped a lot and gives us plenty of tips to remember certain words and phrases. She also provided us with activities that helped me practice my grammar and my speaking.
However, I really wish I had one more semester of being able to take Indonesian. There is definitely a learning curve in the first couple of weeks because you are still adjusting to your learning plan and learning what the best way to learn a language is. All in all, I greatly enjoyed meeting with my language partner and learning Indonesian. It is also helped that there was Bo along to work with. Having a second person in the course was great.
