Lingala Lessons in Brisbane

Where to Study Foreign Languages in Brisbane: Brisbane is home to world-class educational institutions and universities where you can study a language or languages to degree level. For example, Griffith University offer courses in Chinese, Italian, Japanese and Spanish, French, German, Korean, Indonesian, Modern Greek and Russian. Also, you can study 12 different languages at the University of Queensland, which also offers studies in linguistics, translation and interpreting. By pursuing these courses, you will develop not only language competency but also cultural awareness to become a more aware global citizen. Please consider that you will need at least an intermediate level of your desired language to get started, so contact us at Language Trainers and we will help you prepare for this fantastic opportunity. However, if you are not interested in studying at university level, but would like to obtain a formal certificate as proof of your language proficiency by passing an internationally accredited exam, like Goethe-Zertifikat if you are studying German, then you can take in the Goethe Institut on Ocean Street. Again, we can help make sure you pass; just ask us about our Exam Preparation course.
