LEARN A LITTLE USEFUL INDONESIAN FOR TOURISTS IN BALI # 1 from EBC EXPERIENCE BALI CULTURE

December 4, 2025 Amanda

It’s really fun learning a few Indonesian words to speak with the locals in Bali. They really appreciate you trying. Don’t worry if you get it wrong, they will laugh with you and help you. It adds another aspect to your trip.

See Komang’s Video for pronunciation.
