Location: Sprachcaffe is located on the east coast of Malta, in the neighbourhood of Pembroke. It is just above the more popular neighborhoods such as St Julians Bay and Sliema. The school is tucked back from a main road in the area. A short walk from the school takes students to the main area of the neighbourhood, with cafes, clothing stores and restaurants.

Getting around: Malta has an excellent bus service that runs throughout the island, and connects all the cities and neighbourhoods. There are some bus stops around the school. The main connecting road in the area is less than 5 minutes by foot from Sprachcaffe, which has lots of regular bus services passing by.

Things to see: Students can use the local bus service to visit the main attractions of the city. The historical town of Valletta is 20 minutes by bus from Sprachcaffe. The lively nightlife town of St Julians is 10 minutes from the school by bus, or a 25-minute walk. St George’s Bay is a 20-minute walk from the school for students to enjoy the beach after class.

Course structure: The school offers general English group courses, private lessons and exam preparation courses for the Cambridge exams and the IELTS exam. Sprachcaffe has workshops that combine general English classes with other options including drama, sales and marketing, job applications and interviews and business negotiations.
