Why Learn Chinese?
Chinese has more native speakers globally than any other language - nearly one billion. It is the second most widely spoken language in Australian homes. China is also the world's second-largest economy and Australia's most important trading partner.
We aim to help students at all levels reach their Chinese language goals. Our students are all ages, from those in their late teens to those in their late seventies.
