At Smart School of English, we go beyond offering English language courses—we now provide an Online Self-Study Course to learn basic Maltese.
As Malta is a bilingual country with English as a dominant language, many might assume Maltese isn’t essential. However, recent regulations have made basic Maltese proficiency mandatory for certain professions, particularly in client-facing roles like healthcare. Our new course is specifically designed to help individuals meet these requirements, ensuring seamless integration into the Maltese workforce and society.
