Start here: build sentences (word order + core patterns)
Learn the default word order and memorize a handful of high‑frequency sentence patterns.
Default word order
Italian is usually SVO. Subject pronouns are often omitted because the verb ending shows the subject.
- Start with short sentences and keep the pattern consistent.
- Copy a native pattern, then swap one word at a time.
