I agree. I came to live in Malta as an adult but manage to learn (self taught myself) spoken Maltese in about 2 years. I have never attended formal Maltese lessons, my own fault as there are plenty available, so whilst I can manage to read Maltese, unfortunately I struggle to write more than a few words.

Even though the original question was posted in 2021, I will leave some information here regarding the integration children who do not speak English and/or Maltese into schools in Malta. Perhaps this can help parents thinking of moving to Malta.

Some of the children coming from a migrant background and accessing schooling in Malta cannot as yet communicate in the languages of schooling (Maltese and English). The Ministry for Education and Sport (MEDS), through the Migrant Learners’ Unit (MLU), provides an induction programme through which these children are supported to learn these languages in order to be able to access mainstream curriculum and benefit from it.

In its efforts to address effectively the needs of children and their families, the MLU runs various initiatives, including after school initiatives addressed to migrant learners such as the ‘Language to Go’ Summer Intensive language Course for migrant learners in compulsory schooling.
