Find Italian lessons near me in Tustin

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.
• Everyday nouns: casa, famiglia, cibo, tempo. These name the people and things you talk about daily.
• Verbs such as essere and avere form the backbone of nearly every Italian sentence.
• Numbers and question words: uno, due, tre, come, dove, quando. These help you ask and answer basic questions.

Working with a native speaker turns this vocabulary into natural, confident speech.

Teaching yourself Italian works best with a mix of structured practice and daily exposure.

• Shadowing native audio helps you sound more natural much faster.
