English Language Schools in St. Julians

There is too much construction going on at the moment, Malta is a bit of a building site, too many morning traffic jams, public transport and the weekly pass are very nice - minus the fact that the buses sometimes don't let passengers in when they are too full (we were late for school once because 4 buses didn't let us in), no good pavements for pedestrians, not enough lanes where you can cross the street safely with your children. As for the climate, I will return to Malta at another time of the year and I would like these courses to be available then too, e.g. during the Polish winter holidays. Shopping: Good opening hours of shops, also at weekends - important for visitors to Malta, downside I couldn't find a shop in the centre with a larger selection of fresh food: vegetables, fruit (I didn't have a car to drive to a larger supermarket), I like markets where you have contact with people/vendors.

The city is very pleasant, it has everything to make life easier, however, the use of the chip for the cell phone was very problematic. The school provided us with one and when I installed it, I went to the store, paid 20 euros, but it didn't work, after a week I went back to complain and nobody managed to make the chip work and I almost lost my money. The services are bad in terms of kindliness and customer service, they really don't seem to want us there. One day, a bus driver almost threw me off the bus because I didn't have any change, he was rude and yelled at me. My friend could have paid to me, but he didn't even let me talk to her.

I studied in February, it's beautiful here at that time. They say that from May to September it's hot and there's nothing to do, but I haven't checked it myself. The transportation network is extensive, but there are problems with schedules, many buses run only once an hour, and they are easily 5-10 minutes late. But Malta is so small that it is easy to get around on foot. Which is what I did when I didn't have the right buses.

St Julian is a very tourist-obsessed city. There is garbage everywhere and the nightlife is very active and loud. You rarely come across locals, older people are quickly noticed if they have any problems. There is direct access to the sea and many stores. The bus system is unfortunately a pure overpriced disaster. 25 per week for buses that arrive late, don't arrive at all or pass by due to overcrowding.

I am delighted to recommend it, a journey through time for anyone who visits it, an island of the west, a wonderful little world between the past and the present, between Europe and Africa. San Giljen is easy to explore, everything is within walking distance. Built on the hills, the ups and downs of the town gave it a real daily workout. The bay waters are crystal clear with tiny jellyfish in them.

It's a place for party people. Too much for me. But great for making new friends. Cleanliness in Malta is a problem, although they clean some streets daily tourists throw cigarette butts everywhere and also other rubbish. The system of rubbish in plastic bags all over the streets is a stupid idea. Cats tear the bags, cockroaches crawl into them and the wind blows the rubbish around...

I had already been to St.Julians six years ago with my oldest son and had really enjoyed Portomaso and the area around Spinola Bay. I knew about the nightlife and on purpose, having come this time with the whole family, I booked the hotel close to the school but a bit outside the nightlife. Since we had lessons between 11:45 a.m. and 3 p.m. I didn't have a chance to get around much

The scenery around the small harbour basin is very pretty. Lots of hustle and bustle. Lots of restaurants, bars and shops. But it's also a bit exhausting. The traffic is a pain in the arse through the narrow harbour road. The pavements are so narrow that you can hardly get past each other. More for young people than for families with children.

St. Julians has a great nightlife for people of all ages, but also offers various activities during the day. The beaches are very small and not very clean, but perfect for a quick dip. I definitely recommend visiting other cities in Malta, such as Valletta or Gozo Island, as they are quite different from St. Julians.

Plenty of places with good food, great seafood. Mini sandy beach - super place to catch your breath. Towards Sliema- super promenade for joggers and walkers. A town with a lot of nightlife, many big hotels - if you are looking for peace and quiet, better go elsewhere. A great place for a party weekend.

Nice facility, excellent teachers, small but efficient classrooms for a maximum of 12 students per classroom.
