December Time at AClass

December is a wonderful time to be in Malta. Although it can be quite chilly, when the sun comes out you get to see the lush green landscape which is a welcome change from the dry summer months.

Now is the time to put on your walking boots and go exploring Malta's countryside. The Ramblers Association always welcomes tourists and locals alike on scheduled walks they organise on a weekly basis.

Christmas is around the corner and the Christmas Party organised by the school for all the staff at St Catherine's and AClass is coming up. I for one will be looking forward to a few mince pies and glasses of wine.

January is looking quite busy with several students coming to learn English in Malta . Our booking Business and General English Courses are on the up. Now everyone in the admin office is gearing up to start working on Summer 2010 which hope will be even better than last year.

Myself and all the AClass staff wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

See you in January 2010!!

AClass Academy of English : Italian Website

AClass has finally gone live with their new website in Italian. This should help Italian speakers make a more informd choice about where to study English.

The site is very similar to the English version of the site and can be accessed by clicking on the Italian flag in the top righthand corner of the website.

This is the beginnng of our efforts to reach out to a wider audience.

Working on Video Testimonials

Well as you can see we have been busy working on short, promotional material to give to our students and prospective students. Nicole and I have been creating free resources for students and teachers to use to impove their English or use in class.

Here is a video we made this morning with Ignazio, fondly known as Nacho. He has been here at school for a little over 5 weeks and everyone in the office has warmed to his free-spirited way of living. I think it needs to be fine tuned a little. One of the computer monitors is switchd off which I think gives the impression it's broken so I want to redo it and switch it on!

In the meantime, I am back to the drawing board so to speak to try and improve on what has already been done.

Explore Valletta!!

Alison and I took Nacho and Nikki around Valletta for the first time. I created a quiz for them to do while walking around the beautiful city. The questions took them all over the city and to places they might not have noticed otherwise like the beautiful national library tucked away behind a square.

All that hard work deserved a coffee and where better to go than the recently renovated Cafe Premier where one can have a steaming hot frothy cappuccino and a nice slice of cake. The place server all kinds of salads, sandwiches and pasta dishes as well as fresh sushi and tapas. We all drooled over the menu but decided to stick to drinks this time.

We made our way back to the car where I realised I had been given a parking ticket for not displaying my parking meter correctly.

Bummer! This trip to Valletta turned out to be more expensive than I realised!!

Another Month Has Just Flown By

I can't believe that October has come to an end. It has been a quiet month but nonetheless exciting. The website is being updated and soon you will be able to download free resources to help with your English. We here at AClass are a generous bunch.
