One thing that makes Malta such a nice place to visit is the fact that the Maltese are typically bilingual. Thanks to Malta's close cultural ties with Great Britain and over 160 years of history, Malta is one of the truly bilingual countries in the world. English books, newspapers, magazines can be found almost everywhere; even cultural programs are mostly in English. From whatever corner of the world visitors come, communicating with the Maltese won't be a problem; it's a great opportunity to practice English too. Not only that, quality English instruction is easy to find, as it is well established in schools. Most English language schools incorporate learning excursions with actual classes; excursions are often tours of Malta's most famous historical sites and museums. Many visitors from neighboring European countries come to Malta to learn English exclusively.
