Best Online Maltese Language Courses?

i don't think any online course would be very helpful.  but i have learned a bit of it trying to help my kids learn over the last three, four months.  i cannot pronounce anything but i have passable elementary reading knowledge after using the following three online resources.

1) this is a good reliable dictionary.  there are erroneous entries.  they are marked so watch out for them.

2) google translate helps a lot, if not perfectly.

3) this is a type of meta translating site.  it's helpful.

you might start by taking the past exams from this site.

they contain the annual exams for primary and secondary schools.  look for maltese exams.  then you should translate them.  it is a tedious and laborious process but after about 40 hours of doing it, you will have some working knowledge of maltese. 

it is tricky looking up words in maltese because they have suffixes and prefixes for personal pronouns and prepositions that dictionaries cannot parse. 

it might help to join a facebook group for learning maltese.

good luck.
