cose che io voglio sapere in Italiano

So we are finally about to start with real Italian classes! As our first assignment we have to choose a few words and sentences we would like to learn in Italian. This is what I chose:

2 verbs:
to wait
to remember

10 nouns:
picture, street, tree, window, door, table, book, pen, pencil, light

5 phrases:
What is your name?
Where are you from?
I don't speak Italian very well.
Do you speak English by any chance?
I'm lost.

I think those would be quite useful once we are in Venice.
