Getting around Indonesia on foot means asking real people for help, and a few clear phrases go a long way. Learn to ask "Di mana toiletnya?" (Where's the toilet?), check the way with "Ini jalan yang benar?" (Is this the right way?), and follow answers like "Belok kanan di lampu merah" (Turn right at the traffic light). When words run out, "Bisa tunjukkan di peta?" (Can you show me on the map?) always saves the day.
Getting around
28
Getting around Indonesia mostly means apps like Grab and Gojek, plus taxis, ojek (motorbike taxis), buses and trains. These phrases cover the whole ride: booking, giving directions, paying, and dealing with the famous traffic. Learn a few like "Tolong ke bandara" (To the airport, please), "Berhenti di sini saja, Pak" (Just stop here, please) and "Bisa bayar pakai QRIS?" (Can I pay with QRIS?), and you'll move around the city with far less stress.
Food
28
This set gives you everything you need to eat well in Indonesia, from ordering to reacting with delight. Learn to say "Enak sekali!" (So delicious!) when the rendang hits, ask "Ini pedas nggak?" (Is this spicy?) before you order, and check "Ada yang halal?" (Is there anything halal?) or explain "Saya alergi kacang." (I'm allergic to peanuts.) Master these and every warung, food stall, and restaurant becomes an adventure.
Ordering
28
This set covers everything you need to order food and drinks at a warung, restaurant, or cafe in Indonesia. With simple lines like "Saya mau pesan" (I'd like to order), "Tolong jangan pedas" (not spicy, please), and "Minta bon, ya" (the bill, please), you can order confidently, adjust the spice, take food to go, and pay — even with "Bisa bayar pakai QRIS?" Loop them until they roll off your tongue and mealtimes become the easiest part of your trip.
Shopping
28
This shopping set gives you the everyday lines you'll use in Indonesian malls, minimarkets, and street stalls — from browsing to paying. With simple phrases like "Ini berapa?" (How much is this?), "Ada ukuran lain?" (Do you have another size?), and "Bisa pakai QRIS?" (Can I pay with QRIS?), you'll shop with confidence and maybe even get a friendly smile. Tap, listen, and repeat until each one feels natural.
Bargaining
27
Bargaining at a pasar is half the fun of shopping in Indonesia, and a few friendly words go a long way. Ask "Berapa harganya?" to open, smile and try "Boleh kurang?" or "Kurangin dong," and when the price feels right, seal it with "Oke, saya ambil yang ini." Keep it playful — vendors love a traveler who plays the game with a grin.
Hotel
27
This set covers everything you need for checking in and settling into a hotel or homestay in Indonesia — from arriving with "Saya ada reservasi atas nama Lina" (I have a reservation under the name Lina) to asking "Sudah termasuk sarapan?" (Is breakfast included?) and sorting out little problems like "AC-nya tidak dingin" (The air conditioning isn't cooling). Learn these by ear and you'll handle your whole stay with confidence, from check-in to check-out.
Money
28
This set covers the money moments every traveler in Indonesia runs into: paying, changing cash, and using e-wallets. With lines like "Bayar di mana?" (Where do I pay?), "Bisa pakai QRIS?" (Can I use QRIS?), and "Ada kembalian?" (Do you have change?), you'll handle markets, warungs, taxis, and money changers with confidence. Learn these by ear and paying for anything becomes easy.
Sightseeing
28
This set covers the words and phrases you'll reach for while sightseeing across Indonesia — from Bali's beaches to Java's temples and mountains. Ask the basics like "Tiket masuknya berapa?" (How much is the entrance ticket?) and "Buka jam berapa?" (What time does it open?), hand your phone to a stranger with "Tolong fotoin, dong," and share the moment with an easy "Indah sekali!" With these lines you can rent a motorbike, join a tour, and chase the sunset like a local.
Health & help
28
When you're not feeling well far from home, a few clear words make all the difference. This set covers the calm, useful phrases for getting help in Indonesia — telling someone "Saya sakit" (I'm sick) or "Perut saya sakit" (My stomach hurts), asking "Ada apotek di dekat sini?" (Is there a pharmacy nearby?), and in a real emergency, "Tolong panggil ambulans!" (Please call an ambulance!). Learn these before your trip and you'll be able to reach a pharmacy, a doctor, or help of any kind without panic.
Small talk
27
Indonesians are famously warm and love a friendly chat, so a few small-talk lines go a long way. With openers like "Dari mana?" (Where are you from?), "Saya dari Jepang" (I'm from Japan), and "Boleh minta kontak?" (Can I get your contact?), you'll turn a quick market run or a ride with your Gojek driver into a real connection. End warmly with "Nanti kita ketemu lagi ya!" (Let's meet again!) and "Hati-hati di jalan" (Take care on the way) and people will light up.
