Outdated: The book is unfortunately quite outdated. The standard Maltese used by the author is from a long long time ago, and is not mostly in use nowadays. The phrases you will find mostly useless the proverbs have changed so much nowadays. Don't waste your money on this American book. Get a good Maltese book by Aquilina instead which is more up to date with the times we are living in!
Maltese dictionary/phrasebook for travelers: This handibook is perfect for people with an interest in Malta. Included in this handy reference is a basic grammar, a guide to pronunciation, a bi-directional dictionary with phonetic support and a phrasebook covering everything from everyday expressions to shopping terms, transportation tips, food, to health-related information. Also included is a helpful appendix of countries, measures, currency and a short collection of Maltese proverbs.
Handy and useful: I found the book very helpful. My Canadian born son "borrowed" it and he too found it interesting to learn some Maltese phrases. I will be ordering a second copy for myself. Its simplicity makes it fun to go through. Thanks Grazio.
