Gender & articles. Nouns are masculine or feminine; the article changes with the first sound.

Essere and avere. To be and to have — both irregular, both essential.

Is Italian hard to learn?
Every language is learnable when you practise the right things in the right order. We start you with high-frequency phrases and real scenarios — ordering food, checking in, asking directions — so you are speaking Italian from day one instead of memorising rules in isolation.
