===========================================
In today's class, we learn how to tell the time in Maltese, as well as the date (days and months). Note that in Maltese, we can only express the time in analogue, and not in digital. Regarding the date, the video does not delve into how to express the year, but the notes further below will attempt to teach this by example.
