Malta & Clubclass

Malta was a British colony for over 150 years. Since independence from British rule, daily use of the English language has never subsided and the Islands are officially bi-lingual. Business, scientific, educational and other circles use English as the predominant language. English is also spoken exclusively in a number of social circles. When enrolled in an English language course in Malta, students are able to communicate with all locals and in all situations, encouraging daily and practical use of the language. Malta has rapidly acquired a reputation for excellence in teaching English as a foreign language. Clubclass has helped form this coveted status by providing a highly immersive educational system that gives rapid and lasting results the residential language school.
