## What is Bongu?

Learn to read Maltese — the only Semitic language written in the Latin alphabet — through a 12-chapter graded-reader story set across the islands of Malta.

Follow a small cast of characters through everyday life on the islands — arriving and settling in, ordering pastizzi and rabbit stew, riding the ferry to Gozo, exploring Valletta and Mdina, the Blue Lagoon, markets, and a village festa — with natural Maltese dialogue, sentence-by-sentence English translation, tap-to-define vocabulary, grammar notes, and a quiz for every chapter.

Each chapter is a real, concrete situation, so you pick up the words and phrases you'll genuinely use. A fun, practical way to start reading Maltese.
