They're called harakat.
Fatha, kasra, dumma and sukoon are the basic ones, there's a lot more.
The thing is once you're used to reading arabic with the harakat, when they're not there you kind of just know. I've never thought about it but I suppose you'll just be familiar with how words are supposed to be pronounced because you'll have practice reading them with the signs
Spanish and Italian are on the list

Nothing from scratch really. Danish, but I only just started that yesterday, that's without anything else
But with Spanish and Italian I have grammar books I can look at

Yep! No one ever really uses the ne....
My teachers say it's fine, and I use it on here with French speakers and they do it themselves lol
And I actually used it (well used the lack of ne... So I didn't use ne) in my oral exam and got full marks in that

Yes! It's weird in Italian, you need the definite article as well as the possessive
Eg tu porti la mia cintura

It just sounded weird at first. Finding this much easier than when I tried to learn German.

Yeah, I was gonna say it's probably more an oral thing

Yeah I forget it at times
Especially when it's combined with pronouns like
You don't put sugar in my coffee
Non metti zucchero nel mio caffè

Yeah, in written exams I write it.
But on forums, or speaking, informal situation, you can just omit it

How are you managing that with A-levels?

A Levels are a doss tbh
I spend more time watching crap than I do on languages/a Levels
I never like sit down with pen and paper. With languages I'm just on my phone googling stuff

Even after I asked if it's necessary I've still just missed it off about 10 times lol.

You'll get used to it eventually when you keep getting the annoying wrong buzz La mia
Le mie
I miei
Il mio
Two parts all the time, owning something takes two. The owner and the things that's owner, so two parts to make possessive

Dr Viossy did a DVD/Book called Extreme Hard Rock Guitar and I really want it, but it's entirely in Italian... English title got me excited
Very tempted to learn Italian just so I can learn from him
