I've lived in Geordie England (Newcastle) and living there is like living on another planet when it comes to understanding what people are saying. <br /> <br />Similarly, East End cockney, Birmingham Brummy, Scouse Liverpool, Mancunian English and most regional English dialects are extremely difficult for non British English speakers to grasp. <br /> <br />My mother is Scottish and I can't understand half of what comes out of her mouth!http://www.englishforums.com/English/PhrasalVerbOfTheDay/2/bjk/Post.htm#452Sun, 25 May 2003 20:10:06 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:452chrisIs the Spanish spoken in Mallorca a particular dialect? The reason why I'm asking is that I've had many students in Malta complaining that when they studied English in England and Ireland they couldn't understand a word of English outside the classroom!http://www.englishforums.com/English/PhrasalVerbOfTheDay/2/bjj/Post.htm#451Sun, 25 May 2003 19:29:06 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:451majI should think teenagers tend to go either to England or Ireland for the summer months. Not many people are aware of the fact that English is an official language in Malta.To my knowledge, it is a wonderful place to learn Spanish and leave with a suntan among other things.... <br /> <br />[added - by Statistics editor]<STRONG><EM> Actually Malta is pretty high up in the 'serps' if you're looking for a general language course.</EM></STRONG> [/added]http://www.englishforums.com/English/PhrasalVerbOfTheDay/2/bjw/Post.htm#450Sun, 25 May 2003 19:03:15 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:450chrisWe have around 30 English language schools in Malta most of which target teenagers in the summer months. I think the combination of learning English while being able to leave with a suntan is a wonderful combination! The same must apply for Mallorca.http://www.englishforums.com/English/PhrasalVerbOfTheDay/bjb/post.htm#443Sun, 25 May 2003 18:22:36 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:443chrisMalta has two official languages, Maltese and English. Maltese is a mixture of Italian and Arabic - not the easiest language to learn and is extremely consonantal. <br /> <br />Kids in Malta learn English and Maltese, Italian through television and school and have to choose either French or German in secondary school. <br /> <br />I'm not Maltese and therefore can only speak English and a little broken French and German. <br /> <br />With only one university in Malta, children are pushed to study hard from an early age and language acquirement is becoming increasingly important. <br />http://www.englishforums.com/English/PhrasalVerbOfTheDay/bjr/post.htm#442Sun, 25 May 2003 18:04:49 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:442majA bit wet for sunny Spain. let me ask you one question: apart from English, do you speak any other languages in Malta?
