Ok, so I'm learning to speak italian, and writing an email to someone in Italy who I haven't really talked to before. what would be a good way to start? This is all I have so far. Is it correct? :-/
Ciao,
Sono Sarah. Imparo a parlare italiano (is that how you say "i am learning to speak italian?). Mi piace Twilight. (But i want to say "I like twilight too.)
Sorry I know its kind of a mess, I'm just learning. I can't really think of anything else to say. Thanks for the help :)
Answer on Italian translation question?? :)?
"I am learning to speak Italian."
"Sto imparando a parlare italiano."
"I like Twilight too."
"Anch'io piace Twilight."
You can also add:
"Ho __ anni." (literally, "I have __ years", in English, but this is the Italian way of saying, "I am __ years old")
Don't say "Sono Sarah", say "Mi chiama Sarah." "Sono Sarah" is technically fine though.

You can use what I said or what Caesar said for, "I like Twilight too."
I'm still studying Italian, but I think the way what I and Caesar said would be translated differently is that:
Me -
"Anch'io" = "I also (me too)"
"piace" = "it is pleasing (like)"
"Twilight" = "Twilight"
In English this would sound more like, "I like Twilight too". I just gave you the literal translation.
Caesar -
"Anche" = "also"
"mi" = "to/for me", in this case "to me"
"piace" = "it is pleasing (like)"
"Twilight" = "Twilight"
This also would basically come out to, "I like Twilight too" in English.

Actually, I made a mistake..My translation for the "Twilight" sentence is a little bit wrong.
"anche a me" = "me too"
"anch'io" = "I also" (not "me too")
The proper translation for the second sentence would be Caesar's translation:
"Anche a me piace Twilight."
