Frequently Asked Questions

What is the easiest way to learn Chinese / Mandarin in Melbourne?

1. For kids/beginners
The easiest way to learn Chinese is playing and using it while having fun! Like, when we draw pictures, we learn color words together; when we talk about your favorite snacks, we pick up food vocabulary. And we can sing silly little Chinese songs too! Don’t worry about saying something wrong—talking and playing is the fastest way to get good at it, I promise!
2. For adult learners with travel/work goals
Start with exactly what you need, and use it every single day! If you’re learning for your China trip, focus on things like “I want mapo tofu” or “Where’s the bathroom?” first. Spend just 10 minutes a day practicing those phrases—say them when you’re making coffee, or walking your dog. Link the words to real stuff around you, and it’ll stick way better than just memorizing a list!
