Learn Indonesian through Video: News in Bahasa Indonesia from VOA Indonesia

I really think that video is one of the best ways to harness the power of the Internet and learn a language with first-hand resources.

I am always on the lookout for interesting content on YouTube and elsewhere on the web and one source of language video that I often watch is through VOA, which stands for Voice of America.

Voice of America is sort of a collection of news broadcasters who create content about American and world news in a variety of languages (over 40 to be precise!). Many of the languages have video content available for free to view on YouTube.

The channel in Bahasa Indonesia is here: youtube.com/voaindonesia



Here are a couple videos on different topics that are in fluent yet manageable Indonesian and are great for learning through listening:

Video 1: about an expo, from the Dunia Kita (Our World) series



Video 2: a feature on a graphic design company



Video 3: a political clip about the Occupy movement



So there we have it for a start. Check out VOA Indonesia today, there's over 3500 videos there for your viewing and learning. Enjoy!

Selamat belajar,
