The primary objective is to facilitate communication through essential Maltese by speaking in a productive manner. Participants will learn how to produce concise sentences by accurately pronouncing words and common expressions that are encountered in daily life. This will empower them to initiate and maintain a brief conversation in Maltese regarding topics that are very familiar to them, such as myself, family, work, and hobbies, as well as to exchange elementary information and acquire goods and services.
