"Those who know nothing of foreign languages know nothing of their own." - Johann Wolfgang von Geothe

This will be the one post that I constantly keep updating because I intend to learn a lot more Italian and build my vocabulary. Anj, I've kind of being doing what you said; I'm trying to learn at least one word or phrase per day. I really want to learn more, but there isn't enough time or memory space, haha. When I had originally decided to come to Rome, I tried learning it on my own but it wasn't that easy and I honestly wasn't that motivated. Now that I'm here, I realize that I want to improve my Spanish and Hindi while learning Italian. I also want to learn other languages! They're all so beautiful and unique. Well here's my growing list:

Ciao! - Hello, goodbye (pretty much any greeting)

Buongiorno - Hello (good morning)

Buona sera - Good night

Grazie - Thank you

Prego - Your welcome, welcome (into a home or building)

Come stai? - How are you?

Quanto costa? - How much does it cost?

Conta - Check

Per favore - Please

Scusi! - Excuse me!

Permisso - Excuse me 

Come ti chiami? - What's your name?

Mi chiami Dhara - My  name is Dhara

Molto liedo - Nice to meet you

Vivo in Roma - I live in Rome

Dov e - Where is

Salute - Bless you

Come si dice - How do you say

Si - Yes

No - No <-- haha love it!

Guarda - Look

Ti amo - I love you

Working on this list! We'll see what happens :)

So long!
