Find Italian lessons near me in Ridgewood

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

• Common greetings such as ciao and buongiorno help you start any exchange politely.
• Everyday nouns: casa, famiglia, cibo, tempo. These name the people and things you talk about daily.
• 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.

Personalized lessons build on these basics at a pace that fits you.
