Amazing Experience! Beginners 2 Level
I enjoyed a lot the Italian classes at Happy languages. The teacher was good and a really good person. We were a small group so it felt most of the time as a private lesson.
I got the chance to practice in Italy the skills I gained in the months class and went very well :). Definitely going for next course.

The best language school in London. The class sizes are small, so you have a good opportunity to speak and be involved in the class, and the teachers are very supportive. I've completed three terms of Italian and I've really noticed the difference in my language skills and confidence when I'm speaking :) the location is also super convenient!read more
