Find Italian lessons near me in Mount Kisco

Italian rests on a few basic word groups that every beginner should know.

• Greetings and courtesy words: ciao, buongiorno, grazie, prego. These open and close most conversations.
• Basic nouns like casa and famiglia cover the topics beginners discuss most often.
• Core verbs: essere, avere, andare, fare. These carry most of the meaning in simple sentences.
• Numbers and question words: uno, due, tre, come, dove, quando. These help you ask and answer basic questions.

A tutor corrects your pronunciation and usage as you practice these first words.
