A lot. Indonesian is the world's biggest trilinguist country.

People usually speaks their local languages (there are 700+ of them), Indonesian, and other foreign language.

In my class alone there are probably 8 languages spoken by the student (usually Indonesian, Javanese, Sundanese, Banjarese, Balinese, Indonesian, Chinese, Madurese, and so on), so they can just gossiping about things and the teacher or friends wouldn't know anything.
