Duolingo- learning Indonesian?

Duolingo is not well respected within the language learning community.

Try Pimsleur and/or Assimil.

Are they affordable? I’m learning as a hobby and I don’t want to spend a lot of money

Yes, very affordable. Take a look at their websites.

I don’t think assimil have a course in Indonesian from an English base? Maybe an old one is available on eBay?

I looked at the app for assimil but it wasn’t rated highly and their website, mmm, I’m not too certain how it works but it said had no recordings for Indo

You may be correct. I have no idea.
Learning Indonesian isn't common so I wouldn't be at all surprised if you are correct.

Pimsleur does have at least one level in Indonesian: https://www.pimsleur.com/learn-indonesian/all-products



Assimil doesn't have an app as far as I'm aware.
Pimsleur does however, and it's fantastic. Ich lerne Deutsch

I don’t speak Dutch but I presume that means I’m learning Dutch lol.

Saya belager bahasa indonesia. Lol Duolingo isn’t that bad. I’ve spoken to a few Indonesian people via a game I have and they’ve confirmed it’s good. I shall see how much I can do in my two week free trial and decide if the other app is needed.

I came to the realisation that this is a U.K. site and there likely won’t be any Indonesians using it, unless living in the U.K. lol!

No, Deutsch is German
Not to be confused with Dutch.

Duolingo is used by the masses because it's supposed to be fun and it has gamified language learning, but it is not very well respected at all among the serious language learning community.

Try Australian sites as it is much more common for people there to learn Indonesian.

Do you have some recommendations. I wouldn’t know where to start?
