Your tutor

Hi, I'm Charmaine

I grew up with Maltese around me and studied it at school, and I've never lost my love for the language. I started Maltese Masterclass for one simple reason: there are plenty of Maltese voices in Australia, and almost nowhere to actually learn the language one-on-one.

Beginner friendly. No grammar drills on day one. We start with the words you'll actually use, then build from there, week by week.
Built around you. Tell me why you're learning (family, travel, heritage) and your lessons lean that way. You can take the full course or just the modules you want.
Complete the beginner course and I'll personally sign and post you a Maltese Masterclass completion certificate — a keepsake to hang on the wall, not a formal qualification.
How it works

Simple from the first hello

Lessons run 45 minutes of teaching plus 15 minutes to wrap up, review and set your homework. Online lessons run anywhere in Australia. Home visits cover Melton and up to 5 km out; if you're further away, you're welcome at my place.

Weekly lessons

45 minutes teaching, 15 minutes wrap-up. Between lessons you also get a complimentary check-in call to keep everything fresh.

Homework after every lesson

Every lesson comes with an activity sheet, emailed to you (print it if you like) or on paper at a home visit. Finish it and send it back or bring it to your next lesson, and I mark it with you.

The lessons

Eight modules, pick your path

Take the full beginner course, or book just the modules you want. Only First Words is a must before the others. If you'd like a child to learn, please get in touch with me directly and a dedicated course for children can be organised.

1 · First Words

Greetings, introductions and the everyday phrases that get you talking from lesson one. Every student starts here.

1 hour · required first

2 · The Sounds

Maltese pronunciation, the letters that trip everyone up, and drills to get your ear in. The one module that often rewards a second lesson.

1 hour · 2 hours if you'd like

3 · Family

Mum, nanna, the cousins in Malta. Names for the people that matter and how to talk about them.

1 hour · optional

4 · Food

From pastizzi to fenkata: the food words, ordering, and the stories behind the dishes.

1 hour · optional

5 · Days & Numbers

Counting, days, months and times, so you can plan, ask and answer.

1 hour · optional

6 · Directions

Left, right, straight ahead. Getting around a town and understanding the answers.

1 hour · optional

7 · Café Talk

Small talk, ordering a coffee, being a regular. The friendly module for slower starters who want to chat.
