The level of english in indonesia is not the best but it is possible to communicate with almost everybody. The local language is easy to learn. I would recommend everyone to take a language course.

I wish I had known...
That it really makes sense to take a language course because the language is easy to learn. And locals are willing to talk to you and are impressed by only simple phrases you can say.
