Sprachcaffe Languages PLUS

Thinking of learning English properly and
enjoying a Meditteranean climate?
Look no further than the very South of Europe!

The Island of Malta is situated between Sicily and the coast of North Africa. The sun shines the whole year round on its North African-like landscape. Malta has a more diverse culture, and has played a greater role in history, than almost any other island on earth. The Phoenicians, the Romans, the French and the British have all come and gone. Now it's your turn!

Today Malta is one of the most Catholic countries in the world; nowhere else are there so many religious holidays or so many churches per square mile. However, what makes Malta so interesting for a language course, is the legacy left behind by the British, who needed the island for its strategic value, well into the 1960s.

The entrance to our School in Malta.

Our Sprachcaffe school in Malta.

Just as in all other former colonies, the judicial system and British administration have remained in place. English is an official and cultural language. The education system is very British and Maltese language schools are greatly respected throughout Europe.

The Maltese mentality is basically Mediteranean - a cool mixture of Arabic, Italian, Spanish and British. They drive on the left (like in Britain) and they insist on having a siesta (like in Arabic countries and Spain). Otherwise the Maltese are tolerant and open minded, interested in all cultures.

School information
The school is simply breathtaking - a sight to behold! It is of unique architectural interest and was built at the beginning of the century. This striking, aesthetically pleasing stone edifice with its classical Greek-like structure and curves will not fail to impress you.

The school is located in a quiet part of St. Julian's Bay, yet close to its nightlife centre. The complex, comprising classrooms, apartments, restaurants, and gardens - not to mention the swimming pool and the beach volley pitch, is the perfect place in which both to study and relax. As the sun practically shines all year round, relaxation and leisure opportunities are almost unlimited.

Our School in Malta is very close to
St. Julian's, centre of nightlife.
