Paolo La Gamma

School Director

Ciao! I'm Paolo, Happy Languages' School director. After my BA in Oriental Studies and my MA in Oriental Languages I got a CLTA (Certificate in Language Teaching to Adults) from International House in Rome, the DITALS II (Certification in Teaching Italian as a Foreign Language) from University of Foreigners of Siena and the professional MA ITALS II in Teaching Italian Language and Literature to Foreigners from University Ca' Foscari in Venice. Then I became CILS (Certificate in Italian as a Foreign Language) Examiner in 2014 and now I am in charge of our CILS Center. I also completed my education with a DITALS Teacher Trainer Programme and currently I manage our DITALS Training and Exam Center. I organize and take part in 2/3 workshops for Italian Language Teachers per year around Italy. I have been teaching Italian since 2008 in Italy, Belgium and UK, and I still have not got enough of it!

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
