Maltalingua is a good school offering competitive rates. The premises are not the most modern among language schools in Malta but remain pleasant. The teachers are qualified, and there is a good, family-like atmosphere within the school. The shared apartments are functional and of good standard.
For young students, the summer program offers good value for money. The standard of accommodation is lower than at schools like ESE Malta, but the pricing is also about 15% cheaper, offering an economical solution.
4.0
A good school with good value for money suitable for students with beginner to intermediate levels. We mainly recommend it for adults who want to take general English or intensive English courses and have a level between A1 and B1.
