The University’s Department of Maltese has introduced a specialised phrasebook titled ‘Il-Vjaġġ it-Tajjeb, intended for ground and cabin crew who may need to use the Maltese language in their roles, as well as anyone who is interested in improving their communication skills in Maltese with the aviation context.
The bilingual publication, which is the work of Prof. Michael Spagnol and Dr Thomas Pace from the Department of Maltese, is freely available online.
The 50-page document is split into eight parts, with each focusing on a different aspect of work in the aviation industry – from personal belongings, to different roles, commonly asked questions and much more.
In addition the printed guide, the companion website contains all the words and expressions featured in the book along with a sound clip for each to help with pronunciation and comprehension.
