Italian Lessons

Ciao been adopted in other languages I think,I heard it from non-Italians before.

I heard Saltin wanted audio files for these. I can't really provide them here, but I can tell you where I find this vocabulary:

I find all the Italian stuff from an app called Busuu. They also have language lessons for Portuguese (something else I experimented in), French, Turkish, Russian etc. It's a free app, and you can start one language lesson for free. After that, you need to pay money though. You can do a cheat and download individual classes (they also have individual apps for individual languages), and those languages will be added to your lessons for the main Busuu app.

But anyways, they have audio files for these and they're super helpful.

Chapter 3:Personal Pronouns (Singular) and Nationalities/Languages.
Vocabulary:
Io-I 
Tu-You 
Lui/Lei-He/She
Inglese-English 
Spagnolo-Spanish
Francese-French
Tedesco-German 

Key Phrases:
Io parlo inglese-I speak English 
Tu parli spagnolo-You speak Spanish 
Lui parla francese-He speaks French 
Lei parla tedesco-She speaks German

Questions:
In order to make questions in Italian thus far, the general rule is to simply add a question mark after the phrase that is being used (Lui parla francese?). But the exception is for You (Tu). When asking a question to someone directly, you drop the pronoun "tu" and add a question mark at the end of the phrase (Parli inglese?).
Parli inglese?-Do you speak English?
Lui parla francese?-Does he speak French?
Lei parla tedesco?-Does she speak German?

Negatives:
In order to make a phrase negative in Italian, you must put "Non" in front of the action verb in the sentence.
Negative Sentences:
Io non parlo spagnolo-I don't speak Spanish 
Tu non parli inglese-You don't speak English
Lui non parla francese-He doesn't speak French
Lei non parla tedesco-She doesn't speak German

Our first action verb in Italian that we have learned is "Parlo", meaning "to speak". Now, unfortunately, I do not know the infinitive version of the verbs yet, but i do know how to conjugate them. You must conjugate action verbs to make them fit the pronoun.
Here is a list of conjugations for the pronouns we know now:
Action Verb:Parlo (to speak)
Io:Parlo
Tu:Parli
Lui/Lei:Parla

A lot of new stuff in Chapter 3, but this is just the beginning!

Forgot to post about it but I added a sound cloud button to the forum specifically for the foreign language classes,I though the classes were cool,I like hearing and trying the languages but we needed to hear how to pronounce these words.
Anyways, that's the button to the right of the dice.

Ahh now let's see if this works.
