Laser tag Theatre Guided Cinema Diving Historical Go-karting Harbour Museums Bowling tours landmarks cruise I wanted to study English to be fearless to travel on my own, communicate with people from other countries, read English texts with ease, and be able to one day do a specialised course abroad in my area of work. I chose Malta for its location in Europe, the incredible places, the breathtaking landscapes, the cuisine and the many things to do. Today I see that this experience could not have been in any other country. At school, the staff was very friendly and offered many activities. I made lots of friendships and met people from all over the world. It was my first trip alone and my experience in Malta was the best it could have been. I discovered wonderful places, my English improved a lot, and I matured and I learned a lot. It opened me to a world of job opportunities that I did not think I had. Malta was the completion of a dream, an experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life and, without doubt, I recommend it to everyone! I cannot wait to go back!

So, it was a great combination to lie by the outdoor pool at the Grand Hotel and enjoy the amazing sea-view there after the excellent lessons with our wonderful teacher Barbara. Every evening, I met up with the other students in the village Band Club, just a short walk from the hotel, and we only talked English together so I learned to speak more fluently too.
