  • Today we are learning the Maltese language and our teacher is an 8 year old Maltese boy! I have been living in Malta for 8 years now and i do understand a bit of the Maltese language. Few days ago i did a live stream in Senglea where i met Kaiden, who has been watching my videos for 3 years now! We spoke in English and i also used some Maltese words. One of the words from the Maltese language i was using it in a wrong way without knowing the real meaning behind, and some people judged me for it. So in todays video we decided to learn the Maltese language with Kaiden. Thank you for watching!

If more people do like you, you will make life easier for the Maltese who have learning issues and old people as they speak only Maltese, especially for hospital and transport workers

    Well done Teacher Kaiden. I see your mature age student Alex was very attentive as well 😅. Kaiden you're so much like my 9yo great nephew in Malta - cute, intelligent and well mannered. Bless you 🙏.
    I love those beautiful presents and I wouldn't mind identical ones when maybe I do the part of the "old teacher" as mentioned 😂.

    Aw, what a cute video! He's a sweet, mature boy and it was sweet watching you learn some expressions and words, Alex.
    Ive been learning Maltese for slightly over 5 months now and quite enjoy it so much of what I have learned were things you asked, except, interestingly enough, my teacher told me that asking someone's age is, "Kemm għandek snin?" I'd guess they're both acceptable and it's just a matter of preference, though.
    Anyway, you should definitely do a part 2 where you try to recall what you've learned and then learn even more sentences and words.

    • @AlexinMalta
      @AlexinMalta  Před 2 měsíci +1

    • @ESCSteph
      @ESCSteph Před 2 měsíci

      @AlexinMalta Yeah, I enjoy it a lot too and while it is challenging, I don't find it nearly as challenging as Russian (I tried to learn that for 3 years). So, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it the more you learn it 🤞👌

    Good one Alex....very interesting 👍 and you know what is more interesting about it is you have a little boy teach you to learn the language. Its been said that the best way to learn a language is with children and i believe that. No pressure but just the enjoyment of being a child once again. It would be nice if you can feature this in your vlogs even once a month, but with different children. You'll make many children happy, not only because of being on a video but the reward they can get from helping others learn something. You've done well and I love it. Complementi 👏

    Not a good idea to ask a 7 year old because his command if the language s still not good. He is very good for his age but there are some phrases which were incorrect. You don t say "tnejn pastizzi". You say "zewg pastizzi" as an example. Having given you my advise... I congratulate you on your choice of learning the language, i can guarantee you ll get to know a lot more locals and people will be happy that you re trying at least. Keep it up. 👍😘 Ps if you need help behind the camera, just let me know.
