Club Village in St. Julian's

St. Julian's is the heart of modern Malta. It has a lively waterfront promenade, bustling restaurants, and a vibrant social scene.  

Our limestone buildings house air-conditioned classrooms, a library, and a study common room. Beyond them: a large swimming pool at the heart of campus, a restaurant and bar, a games room, and a beach volleyball court. This is a living community where adult students share not lessons, but days, meals, and conversations that stay with them long after they leave. A 24-hour reception means support is always on hand.

The coastline is a five-minute walk away, St. Julian's beach is ten minutes away, and UNESCO World Heritage Valletta is is just thirty minutes from campus. FELTOM accreditation — the mark of quality for English teaching in Malta — means you can book with complete confidence.

I came here to Upgrade my English. I totally loved it there. I met so many differnt people from all nations and made many friends. I had a great time relaxing in the Pool! I also really enjoyed the activities! The only aspects i would critisise are that the rooms are very small and dirty. I shared a room with another Girl, but the room was actually meant to hold 3 people. Neverthless, it was very small, even for two people. My friend shared a tiny room with 3 girls and claimed, she Couldn't unpack her suitcase due to the tiny room. Another one was that the woman, working at the education Office was very unfriendly. I wanted to go to a higher Level in my intensive class but she claimed i couln't because "there are mixed people in there, not only beginners". But for me it sounded more like she didn't have more work. I came to here the Last day of my stay, because there was an error on my certificate. In the end, it was improved. But another friend of mine had the Same Problem and she stayed another week, so she hasn't got her certificate yet. However, confronting the woman working there with the mistake on the certificate, she just snapped at my friend "Yea, but that is a future problem. Don't make assumptions about things, that haven't happened yet" As I have said, the woman was very unfriendly and I, this will be better in the future. Nevertheless, I really loved my stay at Sprachcaffe and would like to stay there for another week!

Staffs are nice. I’m satisfied with rooms, services consist pool, billiard, foods and drinks. This hotel has also a beautiful view and in my opinion, it’s suitable for travel groups at affordable prices (like family, students,…etc). A small suggestion from me is that you should spray insecticide to avoid insect bites to tourists. Maybe, one day i will return to this place with my family 🇲🇹😚💯

We traveled as a group of students with teachers for 1 week. We were extremely satisfied with the quality of lessons, the equipment of the school and the furnishings of the rooms. The campus is large, with nice gardens and a large swimming pool, which students have always enjoyed using. The food was in the form of buffet and there was always a good selection of food. During our stay, we had activities that were always excellently organized and the school staff was always available and willing to help with everything. Overall, we rate the stay in Malta and the Sprachcaffe school as excellent, and we are definitely going to come back. Thank you for your great service and we wish you many happy students.

English in Malta That Match Your Goals

We run a full range of courses in Malta for adults, all starting every Monday and covering levels from complete beginner (A1) to advanced (C1). You arrive knowing exactly where you stand - a placement test on the first morning puts you in the right group from the start.

  • Standard Course 20 lessons per week in groups of up to ten students, covering conversation, grammar, reading, listening, and writing in a focused but unhurried way.
  • Intensive Course extends this to 30 lessons per week. For professionals who need English to perform - not just communicate.
  • Business Language workshops go deep on meetings, , negotiations, job applications, and public speaking, available as dedicated weekly add-ons throughout the year.
  • Cambridge and IELTS exam preparation courses are available for those working towards internationally recognised certificates, with dedicated exam-level groups running throughout the year.

Every course includes our free Study Club - four additional supported sessions per week where you can revisit the day's content, tackle tricky questions, and consolidate your progress at no extra cost.

All learning materials are provided on loan, and at the end of your stay you receive a certificate confirming your level and course completed.

Study English in Malta

Learning English as an adult is a different experience entirely. You arrive with purpose and a clear sense of what real progress looks like. At SPRACHCAFFE, our Malta programme is designed with exactly that in mind. The campus welcomes participants from their twenties through to their fifties and beyond. Every part of the experience reflects that.

Your classmates are professionals and independent-minded adults from across Europe. Architects, teachers, engineers, and specialists who made a deliberate choice to invest in themselves. The conversations that happen poolside or over dinner carry real depth. That is something you cannot replicate at home.

Malta itself rewards curiosity at every turn. A UNESCO World Heritage capital, Bronze Age temples, dramatic coastline, and a Mediterranean pace of life that makes it easy to slow down and enjoy where you are. Our leisure programme runs alongside your course throughout the week. Highlights include Valletta, Mdina, the Blue Lagoon on Comino, and Malta's prehistoric temples. Sports and social events at the Club Village round out the week.

Accommodation sits on or close to campus. You stay in a twin or triple room in the Club Village or with a local Maltese family on a homestay. Full board is included across all options. Dietary requirements are catered for when noted at booking.

Malta is one of Europe's most accessible and rewarding destinations for an English language course. English has been an official language of Malta for over a century, which means you'll hear and use it everywhere - not just in the classroom. Shop assistants, restaurant staff, and local residents all communicate in English as a matter of course, so the immersion is genuine and constant.

The Mediterranean climate, the remarkable history, and the relaxed pace of life make it far easier to stay motivated and enjoy the process. For adult learners particularly, Malta offers something rare: a destination that feels like a real holiday while delivering real language progress.

We welcome adult participants at every level, from complete beginner (A1) to advanced (C1). On the first morning of your English course in Malta, you'll complete a placement test that puts you in the right group straight away. If at any point during your stay you feel the level needs adjusting, our teaching team will work with you to get it right. Groups are kept small - a maximum of ten students per class in most courses - which gives teachers the flexibility to personalise their approach and give you the attention your progress deserves.

For participants based in Germany and certain other European countries, our English courses in Malta can qualify as recognised educational leave - known in Germany as Bildungsurlaub. This allows eligible employees to take additional leave from work to attend a certified language programme and have it count as professional development. We provide a letter of acceptance for this purpose, and our courses are structured to meet the relevant educational leave requirements. Eligibility rules vary by region and employer, so we recommend confirming the details with your HR department or regional authority before booking. We are happy to support you through the process.

We offer a Standard Course of 20 lessons per week and an Intensive Course of 30 lessons per week, both running from beginner to advanced level. Business Language workshops are available as weekly add-ons, covering practical professional communication including meetings, negotiations, presentations, and job applications. Cambridge and IELTS exam preparation courses run for participants at the relevant levels. All adult English courses in Malta at SPRACHCAFFE include the free Study Club - four additional supported sessions per week at no extra cost. Visit our Malta programme pages or request a personalised offer for current options and availability.

A standard package at our adults-only St. Julian's campus includes your English course, on-campus accommodation with full board, a leisure programme with guided activities and excursions, and support from our team throughout your stay. Airport transfers are available as an add-on, and the number of included excursions grows with the length of your stay.

Optional upgrades include the Intensive Course, Business Language or exam preparation workshops, and the Intensive Leisure Programme.

A placement test and end-of-course certificate are included in every package. For full details and current availability, visit our Malta programme page or contact the SPRACHCAFFE team directly for a personalised offer.
