Ciao Micheal,
You will need to use
-"sapere" as "to know how to do something" , "to be able to" .
Example:
-io so ballare (io know how to dance)
-"conoscere" as "to make the acquaintance of" or "to know" as
-io conosco Sara e Federico (I know Sara and Federico)
-io non conosco Roma (I don't know Rome)
I hope this helps
Ciao
