Why not enroll yourselve into a course? You need to practise hands on. It is hard to do it cyberly.
By the way, if it is Indonesia, than it is speaking Bahasa Indonesia. Not speaking Jawa.
In Java Island alone, there are more than 3 languages. The 2 main one is Javanese (East Java) and Sundanese (West Java). When someone say 'speak Jawa', he is actually saying, 'speak Javanese'.
Javanese is somewhat different from Bahasa Indonesia (BI). BI has it root to the Malay, which is spreadly spoken in Sumatra and Malaysia.
I remember while I was working there, when my guys speaks in jawa, I know and I can tell. But it is hard for me to make anything positive out of it. Similar to Sundanese.
Many language schools outside Indonesia don't teach Jawa, but only BI. But if you want to learn Jawa, you may go to Malang in East Java, a beautiful cool place, slow pace and full of nice people. Cheap cost of living too. All you take is 3 to 6 months full time (that is how long my chinese friend took), and you may move about in Java freely.

it hard to teach you to speak jawa because there is many type of jawa language. but i guess if you really want to learn jawa Indonesia you better go there. i once told that there is around 50 types of jawa language there.
so good luck.

You mean Javanese, don't you?
Javanese is an etnic language used by javanese in Indonesia.
I can speak Indonesian but Javanese i don't think i could except greetings :)
How are you? (Eng) > Apa kabar? ( Indonesian) > Piye kabare? (Javanese)
Excuse me(Eng) > permisi ( Indonesian) > kulo nuwun ( Javanese )
etc.
i have many friends in Indonesia they are Javanese descents but they couldn't speak Javanese.
I think you'd better learn Indonesian language first , it's easy to learn Javanese if you go to central Java directly and learn it by conversation with peoples live there.

Okay... look....
Sugeng enjang, nami kulo Allegra Hasan.
Artinya, selamat siang (ato pagi ya, gue lupa!!! ^^), nama saya Allegra Hasan.
In English: Good morning, my name is Allegra Hasan.
Btw, Javanese and Indonesian are completely different!! You can't look it as the same...,, even the accents are different....

first of all, pigs are actually not rodents. Secondly, pig latin has absolutly not something to do with chatting with pigs. 0.33, what the word "ouyay areyay upidstay" ability is "you're stupid". Pig latin is the place you're taking the 1st letter of the understanding and circulate it to the top of the understanding and advert the -ay suffix. So the words pig latin in pig latin may be "igpay atinlay" for occasion. Does that make experience?
