The sentence 'Io sono pessimo a nuotare' is already informal, so you can use it as is. If you want to make it sound even more casual, you could say 'Sono pessimo a nuotare' and drop the 'Io'."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Okay, got it! So the sentence would be 'Ciao, sono pessimo a nuotare'? Is that a good way to start the postcard?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "That's a great start! 'Ciao, sono pessimo a nuotare' is a good way to begin your postcard. You could add a bit more to make it more interesting, like 'Ciao, sono pessimo a nuotare, quindi sto evitando le piscine quest'estate' which means 'Hi, I'm bad at swimming, so I'm avoiding pools this summer'."}]
