Walking around the area. A host family is good because you have no choice but talking English. I had a very good family.
Other comments
February-March can be cold, bring warm clothes. Because houses are not heated or just a little. The school, on the other hand, was well heated.

Teachers do not teach grammar, there are only oral classes where we talk about life in general.
Other comments
The teachers are really bad. Some of them know nothing about grammar. One of the teachers I had wasn't really a teacher, as she wasn't even correcting the homework. She was asking a different teacher to do that. Really bad school. I will never go back.

The public transport is really bad, which is a serious problem during the stay. If you do not live close to the school, you spend too much time on the bus but if you live near the school, you have probelms to travel around the island.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss
Gozo is much better than Malta in landscape architecture and liveableness. Victoria is wonderful for the leisure, full of locals, parties and movement.
Thank God there are no discoteques but there is everything else and a small school like Bels is perhaps more for socializing guys tah a bigger school.My son had easily make new friends and there were a lot of places to go to.

Due to the peculiar situation of Gozo, it is better to stay near the school. It' s easier to organize the individual touristic movements that tackle everyday transports problems toward and from the school

It is not very easy moving around Gozo. That´s why I recommend accommodation in a coast village.
