Fortnightly Roundup May 14
Fortnightly Roundup
Welcome back to our Fortnightly Roundup. Our team have worked hard over the last few weeks to bring you a new episode of Nihao Mate. This time it's all about the delicious and popular street food, Malatang, a type of Chinese hotpot. These Malatang restaurants have been popping up all over Australia and there are quite a few in Adelaide too. Take a look at our video below to learn more about this popular dish.
We have also recently held information sessions for high schools about learning Chinese and the benefits of a second language. These talks were hosted by Senior Lecturer in Chinese Studies, Dr Gerry Groot and Deputy Dean (International) & Program Coordinator of Master of Arts (Interpreting, Translation and Transcultural Communication), Dr Ning Zhang. If you would like to view a similar talk that was held with Dr Groot and Leonie McKeon online last month, click here.
