JADI will offer a subscription plan at $14.99/month. Subscribe to our newsletter to be the first to know when the app launches and to receive exclusive offers.
JADI is designed for beginners through intermediate learners. We recognize there is a lack of resources for intermediate and advanced learners so we are developing content for learners who are committed to growing their fluency with Bahasa Indonesia.
Unlike Duolingo, every JADI lesson is crafted by a real native Indonesian teacher (5-star rated on iTalki with 3,400+ reviews). JADI focuses primarily on input, providing high quality examples to students so they can understand and process information rather than rely heavily on gamification and drills. JADI also teaches root word formations, uses the Goldlist method for long-term retention, and includes native speaker pronunciation practice.
All lessons are created by Yohana, a native Indonesian speaker and 5-star rated teacher on iTalki with over 3,400 reviews. She crafts every lesson, cultural insight, and pronunciation guide.
