Hi Angela and welcome to the forum.

It might help a little bit more if you told us where you are living in Malta.
There are lots of ex-pats all over the island, bound to be some near you.

Hi Angela, and welcome from me as well

How old are your kids aswell

Hi Angela, my family and I have moved over here last month from West Yorkshire. I have two children - a girl aged 5 and a boy aged 9. We are living in Qawra and also looking to make some friends. My husband is at work during the day so it would be nice to make some friends who I could meet and chat with. Where abouts are you living?

Do any of you have Maltese friends. Not casual aquaintances. But people you would invite over for a drink, meal?

How is gossip and attitude towards the English or any expat for that that matter. Do the Maltese accept you or do you live in isolation from them.

Has anyone tried to learn Maltese.

Sorry three question in one.

I have a small number of Maltese friends who I'm very close with.

Attitude to expats? Generally very good, but it depends on the expat! Whinging brits do not go down well, and then those people wonder why Maltese aren't friendly to them.

We have several Maltese friends, some close we have found Maltese to be very friendly., but as Mark said expect to be treated as you treat others. Like you would in UK, you might have to make the effort to get to know people.

I guess it also depends on where you live - where we are it's very multi-cultural, but if you are in a village away from the main tourist areas you might not have as many expats around you.

I'm currently learning Maltese, and it's, erm, quite challenging

Thanks Guys, very positive
