I decided to re-start my Italian studies recently and I'm very happy I chose to do so with Happy Languages. The courses... have been online, so they have been very convenient, and I have been able to interact with students from around the world. Emanuela has expertly taken us through the learning material at a comfortable pace and in an environment where you feel safe to make mistakes. I'd recommend the classes to others wanting to learn Italian.read more

Fantastic classes! Learning Spanish with Clara was fun, challenging and great value. I became more confident in my... speaking ability and was able to go from knowing virtually no Spanish to holding and understanding basic conversations in the first couple of months. From fundamentals in grammar to conversational and colloquial nuances, the classes were varied, intimate and a joy to be in.read more

I followed a beginners Italian course, delivered online by Eleonora. It was good value, practical and friendly. We made... a lot of progress for a 10 week course. Eleonora was extremely diligent and made it easy for us to learn. When we didn't understand something during the lesson she followed up with additional materials afterwards. The homework burden was about right. One of the best language courses i've followed. I will be back for more!read more

Great tutors and all the learning materials are easy to access. The tutors also send extra materials to help us to... understand some complex grammar topic which is been very helpful. I see my Italian is improving since joining the class, and will continue to learn in happy language. Totally recommended!! Grazieread more
