Questions, answered
Is Indonesian really easy to start speaking?
Yes. With no tones, no cases and phonetic spelling, most people build simple sentences quickly, so speaking practice pays off almost immediately.
Do I need to know any Indonesian already?
No, you can start as a complete beginner. Mira speaks slowly, keeps things simple, and can help in English when you are stuck, then raises the difficulty as you improve.
How is this different from a language app?
Apps build vocabulary but rarely make you speak in real time. Mira is a live phone conversation, so you practise understanding and speaking Indonesian together, which is what real conversations demand.
