Study Indonesian in PAAS
Fall 2022: Introduction to Indonesian I (PAAS 120)
Spring 2023: Introduction to Indonesian II (PAAS 121)
The Indonesian language is a variety of Malay and very closely related to Bahasa Melayu,
which is spoken in Malaysia, Brunei Darsalam, parts of southern Thailand and the southern
Philippines, and is also one of the official languages of Singapore. It is spoken by nearly one
quarter of a billion people and by approximately half the population of the Southeast Asian
region.
The Indonesian language program in PAAS offers a four-semester sequence of courses
designed to provide you with the fundamentals of the language and to equip you with a
speaking, reading and writing ability that can be used as an effective platform for further
study and, potentially, an internship or exchange experience in Indonesia.
