(what's "leana"?)
Well, one of the main differences in Latin: you do not NEED the word "I". You can just write "am" (sum, that'd be) and that's already "I am". You only use words like "I, you, he/she" etc. when you want to emphasize the pronoun. Well, in any case, in the nominative (I take it you want to use "I" as the subject of the sentence, right?), I means "ego".
The forms of esse (to be):
1st person sing.: sum
2nd person sing.: es
3rd person sing.: est
1st person plural: sumus
2nd person plural: estis
3rd person plural: sunt
