Opening of the first English Cafe in Indonesia

Dina was delighted to be the guest of honour with her husband Martin for the opening of the first English Cafe in Indonesia. The vision is to ‘chill and learn’, to develop language learning and language practicing habits in the spirit of Healthy Linguistic Diet, while enjoying delicious locally grown coffee and freshly baked cakes. HLD wishes lots of success to the owner: Dr Yaman Surmayan, who completed his doctorate in Liverpool and who brought his passion for the English language and UK culture back to his home country to support his fellow citizens in developing English language skills. His young staff and his family are all enthusiastic English learners – keen to make everyone feel welcome and chatty. Dina had a great pleasure to meet everybody at You Key and to be a part of their story.
