I think you should learn italian verbs step by step, reading popular magazines and going around daily situations. Here I can suggest you the following, which are used very frequently:avere, essere, stare, fare, imparare, indossare, scrivere, leggere, conoscer, andare, diventare, parlare "mangiare" - to eat "bere" - to drink "correre" - to run "camminare" - to walk "pensare" - to think "ridere" - to laugh "dormire" - to sleep "studiare" - to study "cucinare" - to cook "lavorare" - to work "migliorare" - to improve "crescere" - to grow "pagare" - to pay "comprare" - to buy "ordinare" - to order (pay attention because "riordinare" means keep something tidy) "giocare" - to play "divertirsi" - to have fun "sognare" - to dream "sedersi" - to sit down "avere paura" - to be scared "avere fame" - to be hungry "essere arrabbiato" - to be angry "avere sete" - to be thirsty "arrivare" - to arrive "partire" - to move/to leave (for a travel for example) "lasciare" - to leave (something) "viaggiare" - to travel "piangere" - to cry "dispiacersi" - to be sorry ("mi dispiace" / I'm sorry) If you want to know more verbs and complete expression tell me! :) I will be happy to help you.

=== part II What next ? After you learned some new verbs and some verbal voices, just make flash-cards with substituting patterns like: Mario ha // raccontato a // Francesca. Now, you can use any of: {dire, parlare (would be 'parlare con'), cantare, gridare, chiedere, rispondere, etc.} as substitution for the text within // ... //, sometiomes you should also fix the preposition that is needed, so that would be even miore fun. All in all: a) make verb categories related to MEANING b) make sub-categories or other categories related to CONIUGAZIONE c) invent some sentences for each category d) use the other verbs in the same category, as substitution drills for your sentences. This is at least how I would proceed when learning a new language, and one of the methods I use teaching Italian or English.

=== part I I suggest you make categories of verbs, and learn approximately from 4 to 10 verbs each week (unless you are doing an intensive course), taking care of not studying at the same time verbs with similar meaning! (Example: /credere/ and /sperare/ should be learned in different sessions.) Suggested categories (there are overlaps, as should be!): TBW ::= thoughts, beliefs, will pensare, credere, sperare, sapere, conoscere, ritenere MA ::= mental activity risolvere, pensare, indagare, imparare, insegnare, studiare, vedere, capire, sognare MOVE ::= movements (as displacements: from A to B) camminare, correre, muoversi, spostarsi, muovere, spostare, trasportare, portare EXP ::= expressions and giving informations parlare, ridere, mimare, gridare, dire, cantare mentire, dire bugie, raccontare, fare cenni, chiedere, rispondere BAE ::= body activity and expressions bere, mangiare, danzare, saltare, correre, camminare, applaudire, fare spallucce (to shrug), vivere, guardare, sorridere, ridere, piangere AWDA ::= actions with a direct aim guardare, mangiare, bere, osservare, aiutare, invitare, comprare, dire, pagare, cercare, tenere, raccogliere, sternutire, sbadigliare, avere SF ::= sensations, feelings vedere, essere felici, avere paura, divertirsi, annoiarsi, piangere, sognare

Since you already know 50 verbs, the next step is to reach... 100 :) Here you can find an useful list: https://sites.google.com/site/kittysitaliancrosswords/verbs/100-most-used-italian-verbs-in-infinitive

What do you mean with "know"? the meaning or the conjugation?
