Indonesian language test by GMMM
HI Does anyone know if it is possible to take an indonesian language test here in Bali or on the internet. THe purpose is to show my indonesian skills for future jobs internationally. Best regards from Gabriella
Hi there, Surely you do not need to take any test here. Why not simply demonstrate your language skills at interviews with potential employers and state your level of fluency on your resume? Read More
