School description

Learn English & live in your private teacher's home around Malta with Home Language International!

Home Language International (HLI) is a family-run business offering language courses in more than 20 languages in over 30 countries worldwide, including English lessons at an experienced private teacher's home in Malta. More than 5,000 students take advantage of our services every year. Ian Josephs, Danielle Josephs, their 5 adult children and an expert team of dedicated staff all put in very long hours for HLI.

You stay in an experienced teacher's family home, have one-to-one English lessons and then continue to use the language during the rest of your stay in Malta. Because you are the only student, you are guaranteed individual attention. The lessons are completely designed for you, so the teacher will focus exactly on what you need. Mealtime conversation, television and social contacts are all in English.

All of our teachers in Malta have a university degree (or equivalent) and/or a recognised teaching certificate. All teachers have been visited by one of our local organisers. Their qualifications have been checked and their homes throughly inspected. During your stay in Malta, a local organiser will monitor your progress and make sure your experience is both happy and successful.

Home Language International (HLI) is accredited by the Accreditation Body for Language Services (ABLS), Association of Language Travel Organisations (ALTO), and UNOSEL.

"Learning English with making holiday is a very successful combination."

Thomas Lang, student from Germany

The Face-to-Face learning ist very intensiv, but permits you a good progress in a short time.

But without continuing the work at home, after the two week stay in Malta the success would not be lasting.

The teachers are both very nice, friendly and did always their best, to let me feel comfortable and entertained. The location of the teachers is wonderful located directly to seaside and the beach.

The facilities at home were really sufficient, particularly eating, drinking, and all needs your will have every day.

The teachers always asked about wishes for visiting of landmarks, they took me to St John’s Cathedral, La Sacra Infermeria, other places in Malta, and accordingly to my wishes, in restaurants.
After the first week Sarah and I visited Fiona with her husband in their home and I could take with me interesting information of Malta and a very nice contact.
I liked the contact to both teachers and their exciting kit very much. There was nothing remarkable negatives. I think we had a very enjoyable relationship to each other.
