WHY DON’T YOU LEARN MALTESE?Learning Maltese is more than just a boost to your CV, more than a means of communicating with your Maltese partner, relatives, friends, and work mates!

It brings you closer to the Maltese way of thinking. It helps you venture beyond popular tourist areas, making your own linguistic way around an island rich in history and folklore. Learning Maltese helps you belong to a living culture, literature, and society. It will also reveal surprising links between Maltese and other languages - perhaps, even a shared history with your own mother tongue. So what are you waiting for?
