Ħelow!


Welcome to Il-kelma tal-ġimgħa, Maltese for The Word of the Week. As a learner myself, I created this site to help us learn interesting, useful words in context. I wanted more than just a list of translations.

How does it work?

Each Monday (Maltese time):

  • I will publish a new word on the Il-kelma page.
  • Previous words will be available through the Arkivju page.

Each word card:

  • has a publication date in Maltese at the top.
  • displays the word as a title.
  • has an UI toggle to switch between English and Polish (Polski) translations.
  • shows an example sentence.
  • provides the source for the example, such as a native speaker, course content, a book, or a website.
  • displays a tag related to the word, for example, “nom” (noun).

How can you use it?

You won’t learn Maltese just by using this website.

The site is a tool to help you learn, but you must practice on your own.

I recommend to use the words and example sentences as a start. Find ways to use them on your own, in writing or speaking. To actively remember them, get exposed often and use them repeatedly.

Have fun!
