  1. Haha I don’t even live in Malta but try to learn the language because it is funny and I love it. At least the system language of my phone is Maltese

  2. I speak native Italian, French, Arabic and English but I do not speak Maltese yet. I understand almost everything, like what the meaning of the sentence, but I still can not put together words to speak myself

  3. Left is true.. Maltese mostly don’t mind as long as the Nordics behave. I have friends married to Danish girls/guys who actually fully relocated to Malta and have a family here.

    Right is far from the truth. Arabs here speak a very broken Maltese. They don’t “accidentally integrate” but remain a tight knit community and unfortunately think that rules don’t apply to them.

    Some are brilliant lovely people who are more than welcome, but the bad apples ruin the image of the Arabic community.

    Some areas have also become no-go places for Maltese families, like the coast road rocky beach which is regularly taken over by Arabic families in plastering vans cooking over open fires and leaving a mess..

    Btw, before you attack me… yes, some Maltese are stinky a-holes as well, our driving is appalling, and we have our issues.

  4. Quite true. The left panel is spot on. The right…not so much. Certain North African and Asian migrants don’t integrate but they try to learn the language more than anyone else. I know Nepalese, Indians, and Filipinos that tried to learn some Maltese words.

  5. I find this offensive, I am a northern immigrant and live in Sliema, not St Julians. No but seriously, I probably speak more Maltese than the average person after 10 years on the island.

  6. I came to Malta as a Norwegian and found absolutely no resources for learning the language, despite having an immense interest in doing so. Natives would switch to Maltese whenever I was present. If you treat all Scandinavians according to the left panel, there’s no wonder why I was treated this way.

    I can somewhat understand why; your island, tiny as it is, has been taken away from you by corrupt politicans to create a capitalist hellhole, culture has been trampled over and your language is one of the last things you have that make you truly Maltese. I’m not sure if I would want to share it either, if I were in your position.
