Bil-qatra l-qatra... is a colourful coursebook by and is ideal for non-Maltese persons living and working in Malta who would like an enjoyable introduction to the basics of the Maltese language (up to level A2 of the Common European Framework). Using a very fresh and smart approach the book provides graded listening tasks on CD, as well as exercises in speaking, reading and writing. It also includes a list of conjugated verbs, explanations in English and answers to the exercises.
The focus is on language use within a sociocultural framework and each chapter guides the learner by providing attainment targets linked to the Framework of Reference for Pluralistic Approaches to Languages and Cultures published by the Council of Europe (2012).
This is what Professor Michel Candelier of the Universite du Maine in France said about the book, 'This coursebook doesn't only offer a pleasant tool for learning Maltese. It reinforces the learners' interest in linguistic diversity, their ability to observe how languages function, and to learn about the similarities and differences among languages. Thus, it leads to the development of an ability to learn languages, which is the key to lifelong learning.'
