Mandarin Chinese in Adelaide
Chinese is the most spoken language in the world, with more than 1.2 billion speakers, and according to the 2011 Census carried out by the Australian Bureau of Statistics over 4000 of them live in the city of Adelaide. Learning Mandarin will therefore be of great help when communicating with this growing community, broadening your job opportunities and making the most of your experience when visiting the popular Chinatown in Adelaide. Knowledge of Mandarin will also come in handy if you want to visit the Republic of China. Just contact us at Language Trainers and we can start designing a Chinese course that adapts to your requirements and schedule!
Why Learn Chinese in Adelaide
For Work: Taking a Chinese course will open up new professional opportunities in Adelaide. Many companies are always looking to hire Chinese speakers, like D W Johns & Co, Telstra Store or JLB for positions such as bilingual accountant, coordinator or sales consultant to take care of their Chinese business partners. If you want to network with Chinese companies, you should consider getting in touch with the Chinese Australian Chamber of Commerce of South Australia on North Terrace St. This institution, established in 1989, can give you up-to-date business information and help you build networks and connections for your company to grow quickly in a wide range of fields such as economy, trade, education and tourism. Contacting the China Business Network of South Australia on Currie Street is also a good idea if you want to connect with Chinese entrepreneurs. This is a not-for-profit association founded in 2015 that aims to assist young professionals, business organisations and new migrants in developing business relations with China.
For culture: Those more interested in understanding the ancient Chinese culture can attend the events organised by the Australia China Friendship Society (ACFS),such as the China National Day Celebration, an annual event that Commemorates the 70th Anniversary of China National Day. Guests usually have the opportunity to meet a featured guest speaker. In 2018, this speaker was the Chinese Consul-General in Adelaide, Madam Lanjing HE. If you are more interested in Chinese dance, you can visit the Adelaide Chinese Dance Academy on Flinders St, the first officially registered Chinese dance school in South Australia to offer Chinese classical and folk dance training. Their instructors are native Mandarin speakers, so this is a great chance to put your Chinese speaking skills into use!
For Social and Food: If you want to make new friends interested in practising their Chinese, why not join the Adelaide Chinese Language and Culture Meetup? This is a community that organises a lot of fun activities and welcomes anyone interested in the Mandarin language and culture. Another option is contacting Internations: A Place for Chinese in Adelaide if you are interested in meeting new people and getting advice such as where in town to go for Peking duck and hot pot. And if you want to taste some delicious traditional Chinese food, you cannot miss Adelaide’s Chinatown on Moonta Street, which consists mainly of Chinese restaurants, grocery stores and markets. For example, House of Chow on Hutt St is an icon of Adelaide's dining establishments. This place offers the best in Asian gourmet cuisine, such as chow fan, dumplings or Kung Pao chicken. All of their menus are written in Mandarin with an English translation, but we are sure you will not need to read the English one after taking a course with Language Trainers!
