Simple tasks can be much much harder when there is a communication or language barrier. My Lingo is here to connect you with a range of businesses and services which can communicate fluently with you and your family for ease of use.
My Lingo is your go-to directory for a number of Australian businesses and service providers who are fluent in a range of languages. This makes life easier for you as you can communicate with ease for whichever service you need.
Our Sectors Include:
How Does It Work?
Simply search for a particular sector or type of business, enter the language you are looking for, and My Lingo will connect you with a range of providers that will help make communication and organisation easier.
We understand how hard it can be to operate in a new country where you are not fluent in the primary language. This can make various basic daily tasks far more difficult. With our help, you will be connected with businesses and service providers who communicate in your native tongue, making it much simpler to organise simple, yet vital tasks.
Helping to Foster a Multicultural Community
Australia is a multicultural society. The country prides itself on being open and accepting to people from all over the world, and the various communities that combine to form our population are a huge part of what makes this one of the best countries in the world.
My Lingo hopes to foster this community, while also making it easier for new residents to integrate into the existing fabric of society. It is our belief that life in this country should be enjoyable and manageable, and we look to remove language barriers to help this happen.
Know of a Bilingual Business that's not on Our List?
We are continually upgrading our register to grow the most prominent online, multilingual business directory in Australia. If you know of a business that is fluent in more than one language, or you operate one yourself, that isn’t on our register; we’d love to hear from you to add you to our listings.
To help make it easier for new arrivals, here are some primary and essential sectors to set-up here in Australia:
You’ll want to start by getting an Australian phone number and saving some of the most important contact numbers like emergency service numbers (police, fire and ambulance). If you are looking for work, you’ll be able to update your resume and various job sites with your new Australian phone number. Potential employers will prefer a local number to contact you on.
It is also a good idea to open a local bank account to provide to your next employer. This will also give you access to local ATMs. To do this, ensure you have your passport and one other form of identification, in most cases, your foreign bank card will be accepted as well.
While My Lingo is here to help put you in touch with products and services that speak your first language, you still want to make sure you are getting the best deal. We are here to help smoothen the process, and ensure that you can communicate your exact needs to service providers. The following tips will make sure you are getting the best deal:
With help from the service providers on My Lingo, this should all be made much more manageable. Start searching our directories for the products and services you need, in your language of choice today.
- If possible, always get more than one quote for a service to ensure you are not being overcharged
- Read customer reviews; this is an accurate way to understand how the business operates, treats their customers and the quality of work they provide
- Ensure you receive a detailed quote with all charges listed as to not be hit with hidden costs down the track
With help from My Lingo, finding the right solutions to your needs should be made much more comfortable, as you’ll be able to communicate in your language of choice. We’ll connect you with people who can help you directly, or help you get things done via a third party. For example, a lawyer who speaks your native tongue, that can communicate with the courts of business owners should you need.
My Lingo is all about making your transition to the Australian lifestyle less complicated. Or helping those in Australia who need to work in a language other than English. We strongly recommend that you bookmark our site so you’ll easily be able to search our directory whenever the need arises.
