Squline Opens Online Course for Indonesian

A developer of online courses Squlines announces new online class for Indonesian (Indonesian). The product released due to a trend in 2018 that global markets are heading to Indonesia. Bahasa Indonesia has potential to be understood and learned by foreigners, particularly investors or businessmen planning for expansion.

Tommy Yunus, Squlines's CEO, said that it's necessary for the creative industry and technology players planning for expansion to Indonesia, to learn the culture and the language. Therefore, it'll be easier to decide the business steps.

The foreigners who want to join the course in Squline can access the class anywhere, anytime, using the one-on-one Live Video Call method with the experts. By downloading the app and registering, you can sign up for the online class with a flexible roster. The targets are those who are too busy to come to an actual class and don't have much spare time.

Squline admits that the initiative was inspired by the training at the Startup Grind Global Conference and Telkomsel NextDev event last March. In the biggest annual creative festival, South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, Texas, Squline is selected to be Indonesia's representative and promote Indonesian in its app.

As a local startup in education, Squline provides a portal for language learning. There are many similar services in Google Play including language. The interesting part is its target market. While other players are targeting Indonesians to learn the foreign languages, Squline is focused on covering global markets who have interest in Indonesian.
