Well...I'm not going to teach you all the grammar things (I can if you ask me), for now I just want to tell some basics for who wants to know a little bit of Italian.
If you think that something is wrong please tell me xp
With time I'm going to update these lessons.
A tutti gli amici italiani se notate errori ditemelo (grazie xd ) oppure se volete aiutarmi in queste lezioni sentitevi liberi di farlo, ma sarei contenta se prima mi avvisaste, giusto per evitare di creare la stessa lezione 4laugh

idea
P.s. In English you can say orange and it's a fruit, in Italian if you say arancio it is not the fruit
but the tree of the oranges and to say orange like the fruit you say Arancia...plural Arance
P.p.s. In Italian when you say Rosa you can also mean a flower...the rose

Indicative present
Essere - To be
I am - Io sono
you are - tu sei
he is - egli**è
we are - noi siamo
you are - voi siete
they are - essi**sono
idea
Well it's not so simple as English because the verb change for each person whee
and you can see that in Italian we don't use he/she/it for the third singolar person but only he
**
you can also say "lui" instead of "egli" especially when you talk
and the same thing it's for "essi" that can become "loro"
so about the people we can summer in:
I ---> Io
you ---> tu
he ---> egli (lui) [she ---> lei it ---> esso]
we ---> noi
you ---> voi
they ---> essi (loro)

Mangiare - To eat
I eat - Io mangio
you eat - tu mangi
he eats - egli mangia
we eat - noi mangiamo
you eat - voi mangiate
they eat - essi mangiano
idea
I choose a verb and please don't say that Italian always think about food and their stomach cheese_whine 4laugh
I just want to advise you that in English the verb changes only for he/she/it instead in Italian it always changes...sorry for this xd
question
I will show you some verbs that I think are important of course if you want something in particolar like swim, dream, fight etc etc... feel free to ask me

Potere - Can
Io posso
tu puoi
egli può
noi possiamo
voi potete
essi possono
So - To know
Io so
tu sai
egli sa
noi sappiamo
voi sapete
essi sanno
Amare - To love
Io amo
tu ami
egli ama
noi amiamo
voi amate
essi amano
Volere - To want
Io voglio
tu vuoi
egli vuole
noi vogliamo
voi volete
essi vogliono
Andare - To go
Io vado
tu vai
egli va
noi andiamo
voi andate
essi vanno
Parlare - To talk
Io parlo
tu parli
egli parla
noi parliamo
voi parlate
essi parlano
idea
Sometimes "Potere" is different from the English "Can" for example in English we say:
I can play the guitar ----> Io so suonare la chitarra
They can swim ----> Loro sanno nuotare
So sometimes in Italian we use "Sapere" that in English it's translated with "can"
For now that's all about verbs...if I could I would teach you more about the verbs rules but I can't now sorry sweatdrop
