Mandarin Chinese in Melbourne
Melbourne is home to more than 4 million people, accounting for nearly 20 percent of Australia's entire population! Many of the population are members of non-native cultures, and according to the 2011 census, there are more than 10,000 Mandarin Chinese speakers in Melbourne, most of whom are monolingual speakers. This high number is hardly surprising as Chinese migrants have been arriving in Victoria since the gold rush of the 1850s, and the number of Chinese-born migrants living in Melbourne has more than doubled since 2001. Today, Melbourne’s Chinatown is the second-largest Chinese settlement outside of China. So, by learning this fascinating language, you will be able to interact with this community on another level, broaden your professional horizons and meet new friends around Melbourne. Get in touch with us today and we will design a personalised programme for you.
Why Study Mandarin Chinese in Melbourne
For Work: Australian businesses today are expanding into Asian markets, so they need Mandarin speakers to effectively communicate with their international clients. Plus, businesses operating locally also benefit from hiring Chinese speakers to access Melbourne’s Mandarin-only speaking population as potential customers. So, learning Mandarin in Melbourne will look great on your CV and open up professional opportunities for you. If you are actively job-seeking, you should get in touch with the Chinese Chamber of Commerce of Victoria on Collins Street, formed in 1987. This institution aims to provide an interactive platform that creates business opportunities for those interested in connecting with Chinese companies and entrepreneurs. To achieve this, it frequently organises business forums, programmes and corporate lunches. These events are attended by native Mandarin speakers seeking bilingual partners and employees, so why not go and impress them with the language skills you learn with us at Language Trainers? And if you would like to keep up-to-date about Asian business in Melbourne, you can follow the Chinese Business Guide website. The site includes links to leading world finance sites and newspapers, advertisements, and general information about business and commerce. The website is completely in Chinese, so improve your Mandarin reading skills with us to ensure you can access this wealth of information!
For Culture: The benefits of learning Mandarin Chinese are not only limited to business in Melbourne. If you would like to experience this ancient culture in the city, you can celebrate the Chinese New Year with thousands of other people, for example: The Chinatown Community has undertaken Chinese New Year celebrations in Melbourne’s Chinatown for over 160 years. The festival consists of a diverse range of traditional and contemporary Chinese cultural activities, like the Millennium Dragon Procession. You can also visit the Festive Street Bazaar, an annual pop-up that allows Chinese families to purchase and pick up specific items, such as decorations, New Year messages, Nian Gao (rice cakes) and other supplies, for celebrating the new year. By learning Chinese, you will be able to read all the product descriptions without asking for an English translation!
For Social: Those who would like to meet and socialise with others who also love the Chinese language and culture can join the Melbourne Chinese Language and Culture Meetup. This group is for anyone who would like to put their Chinese into practice in a fun environment. They hold regular gatherings at least once a week, so we hope you will be able to find time to meet them! And after these meetings, why not take your new friends to one of the many traditional restaurants available around Melbourne? Some good choices are Bamboo House on Little Bourke and Lee Ho Fook on Duckboard Street, where you can order chow fan, mapo doufu and chow mein using the vocabulary and pronunciation you learn with us at Language Trainers!
