A Need to Learn English online in Indonesia, FREE is my Web Project.

,

Hello. Awesome projection. Let me know how I can help. I am English Facilitator.

Personally I'm not interested but I know some people who are doing the same thing except they are charging. It's the way to go so good luck.

Appreciate your reply. I can send you the project idea, if you want to look into that. A friend who is a software engineer is working to analyze the aspects and scope...Tell me how can I send you a pdf file ? just 2 pages.

Appreciate your reply...

All I can say is to appreciate your reply... 'Your opinion in your style'

I discussed the word 'belajaringgris' with my indonesian wife who speaks english as well, at the time when we were searching for domain name and I asked her,  what does it mean. She said 'learning english' understandably learning english language. Correct me if I'm still wrong but do ask your indonesian wife first. You are a native english speaker so your assessment may be technically right. BTW I learned english while studying my masters and other education in Canadian institution. If I launch the website www.belajaringgris.co.id indonesian ppl will understand it thats what I need. Volunteers are not paid employee and they don't need ITAS/KITAS....

.

LoL......It seems like you are insisting on making it a mission impossible for me and stopping others from joining me as volunteer. You are confusing the word 'volunteer'  with paid employee.The immigration officials here in Indonesia, that I know and dealt with so far, are very co-operative and helpful. They are not that cruel to deport a volunteer, no such example I have ever heard of.

My ending comments:

Be nice and respectful to others, life will be easy. Everyone deserves a due respect while maintaining human dignity. The words we use for others also reflect who we are, our thoughts level, our motive and our personality.

Good Bye Fred....

Out of curiosity what variant of the English language will be on offer? I ask this as they are seversl variants and can lead to confusion and mistakes from one to another. it is correct what Fred says, expats who do unpaid work without correct visa/ paper work is not permitted, it could lead to you or your company getting in trouble, or the simple reason an opportuinity for an indonesian has been missed paid or unpaid

Good Bye Fred....

I strongly agree with your words and thank you for reminding us all. Actually I think your idea is good, and as you say, everyone will absolutely understand what you do even if the wording is not exactly correct. I am sure you will find a way to make it work.

Now is a time when so many people in all walks of life are struggling and we all need to show a lot of compassion to those around us. This evening, a friend of my wife called to get advice about starting a new business (he is a product designer) but things haven't been going well since the pandemic. She essentially explained to him several of the reasons why it would probably fail while giving him some suggestions, but in a nice way. There was no insulting him or making fun of him for his errors or making nasty comments. We are both Muslims and we believe in being kind to people. That is why my wife founded a charity to help orphans and we both are active in our local community with teaching young children English, music and other activities freely.

Good luck!

Thank for your nice comments.

I already have some one on board now. Luckily , a bilingual Indonesian citizen. We can hire a native english teacher from Canada, if so needed. I'm passionate about my project and Yes, as you mentioned, any anomaly or flaws will eventually be removed once the website is ready to be launched. Contents are regularly edited/updated and Improvement is a constant work on the web management.

Thank again for wishing me good luck.
Try to be calm in difficult time, it will be over and we all will get back to normal life soon, being optimistic !
Stay safe and blessed....

I thank you all, for your response to my post. Specially to Fred whose harsh comments made me more stronger in my commitment. No hard feelings though.

Life is hard though for expatriates, adopting to Indonesian way.
But I believe, there is an opportunity in every difficulty to turn things around in a better direction.

Let me share the Success story of some 'Nice Guys' of my family.

My motivation comes from my son Sam (Samad), who always motivated me to think out of box, explore my potential, saying Papa!  'you are a smart nice guy' do something big but I kept doing my regular job in IT industry until I retired early at the age of 60 and now thinking for that 'something big'  Samad was 7 years old when we were migrated to Canada in late 90s. He always used to ask me stupid question when he was a kid. Once a dog barked on him and he asked me Papa! Do I look stranger? Does this dog bark in english?  His teacher used to call him 'A nice skinny kid' that skinny kid is now a handsome muscled guy.
Samad was an academic savvy, liked to play games and doing weird stuff like jumping off the plane with parachute and staying in freezing water for long time. As an outstanding student, Samad has consistently been acquiring an average of 90% scores throughout his academic career. He made it to the College after finishing his high school, where within 3 months he became a 'one o one' tutor and earned good amount and paid off all his college fee at his own. After finishing his college diploma in accounting software, he started teaching accounting specialized in ACCPAC making $28/hour. He went to Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada, completed his bachelor degree in Business Management and paid off all the hefty fee/expenses at his own. After University, he got a job in a big accounting firm with a handsome salary of 60K/year. He left the job after 2 years and became an entrepreneur of Online Private Taxi Business, in Toronto. The bottom line of this long story is, he is a 'Nice Guy' never got into trouble or fight, never used drugs or involved with women and determined to his goals.
Danny, a nephew went to USA in early 90s when he was a Custom Inspector back home, started selling umbrellas outside Penn station in Manhattan, NY, has now become a successful entrepreneur owning couple of stores there. Relatives used to make fun of him as  being stupid leaving a nice job and selling umbrellas. He proved all the speculations about him, as wrong, that he will come back and regret. He was pretty determined and a 'Nice Guy' as well.
Ehsan Khan, my first cousin used to play cricket on the streets, tried hard, back home to become professional cricketer but failed many times. Never liked to go for higher studies making Parents upset and worried about his future. But his passion made him to the world class cricketer, as now he is the top player of Hong Kong Cricket team. He is a 'Nice Guy' and determined.
Other first cousin, a skinny short guy, most of the time bullied at the school but never got into a fight or trouble with the troubled kids, rather made them as his friends. Quite tolerant and determined to his goals. He and his wife are doing their PhD in software engineering abroad on Govt. expenses for higher education. He was bullied quite often when he was a kid and people always made fun of him. His reaction would be 'smiling' and ignoring them. He is a religious guy and always teach everyone to be tolerant. Saying the end results of being nice and tolerant, are always better than the other end which make things worst.

So Be Nice and tolerant and thanks for spending your precious time, reading my story.....

Stay safe and blessed

Hello Jay,
Saw your message about Conversational English in Indonesia.

I lived in Bali for 20 years and way back in 1985 or so  I taught English
at the Tjampuhan Hotel in Ubud.

Recently I offered Conversational English in Buenos Aires with students from China,
Brazil, Argentina, Peru,Russia.

I loved doing it and would like to again online.

Please send me details about your program and plan and best of luck.

Stay well!

Barbara
