Cara Anna, sono nuova in questa classe.
Dear Anna, I am new in this class.
Chi è il ragazzo alto?
Who is the tall boy?
Gli studenti sono simpatici?
Are the students nice?
Grammar: Questions with chi, come, dove

| Come si chiama la professoressa? | What is the teacher's name? |
| Dove abita Marco? | Where does Marco live? |
