Why choose to study Chinese in Perth?

China has a population of nearly 1.4 billion people and as such, is home to the most spoken language on the planet, Mandarin. With 918 million speakers of the language, Chinese Mandarin has spread to every corner of the globe and is an important language to learn for diplomatic and business relations, especially in Australia. There are at least 276 indigenous Chinese languages spoken in the country, and rich culture and history behind each one; Other popular languages in China include Cantonese, Pinyin, and Wu.

Mandarin is the official language of China, so if you are looking to study the language at high school or university this is most likely the language that you will learn.
