Italian Tutor
Ciao, I am Barbara, one of the Italian Tutors at Happy Languages. I hold a MA in Italian moderne Literature from the University of Florence and the DITALS I and II Certification released by the University for Foreigners of Siena. I am currently studying for a Professional MA in Teaching Italian Language and Literature to Foreigners (Itals II) at University Ca' Foscari of Venice. I am also one of the CILS examiner at Happy Languages' CILS centre. My wish is to share with others the love that I have for the Italian culture and its way of life. I am looking forward to seeing you!

A really great environment to learn a foreign language. It’s the first time I have tried to learn a new language and... after completing two courses now I would highly recommend. The material is great, very supportive environment and great teachers (especially Barbara).read more

My experience learning Italian at Happy Languages has been overall very positive! I started with Italian Beginner 1,... continued with Beginner 2 and I will happily continue with Beginner 3. Our teacher, Barbara, has always been very good at explaining grammar rules and encouraging us to improve our speaking and listening skills. I would highly recommend this school for learning a new language!read more
