Glabbis Kaīls ginni! Dīnkun per twāise waīstin. As asma spārts tuldītan, kāi tū jāu assei gattawan per prūsiskas billas mukīnsnan! (i am very glad that you are ready for learning Prussian language)

First of all, i'd like to ask you to correct the name of the topic. You see i asked you to open your personal topic with your name (i.e. "Waīdawutis Mānts" instead of "kaīls ginni Glabbi" you wrote) because if then other people would start to learn, how we will know where are their toppics. We need to see names.

So as for learning. First of all, i'd like to start with the verb "to be" and personal pronouns. Can you write in Prussian:
i am
you are
he is
we are
you are (plural)
they are

"To be" is "būtwei". You should look at the table in the beginning of dictionary, paradigm 115.
Deiwūtiskan! Labban izpalsnan!

Glabbis Dīnkun!
You mixed "you (pl.) are" and "we are".
"we are" is "mes asmai"

then i want to tell you about 3rd person singular more
"she" is "tenā" (paradigm 13)
"it" is "tennan". (paragigm 14) You should know that it is neuter gender. So you should use this pronoun when you have in mind some word of neuter gender, for example, "swāikstan"(paradigm 35). If you look at paradigm, you see that after 35, there is "n". It is neuter gender.

Then if "f", it is feminine gender.
"m" is masculine gender.

You can get "they" from these paradigms 12, 13, 14
it depends on gender

masc is tenēi
fem is tennas
neut is tenēi

So all these are "they"

For all 3rd persons (both sing and pl) you should use the same form of verb.

tāns, tenā, tennan, tenēi, tennas + ast
he, she, it, they (men), they (women) + is, are

Please write it again using all personal pronouns and construct phrase:
i am Prussian
you are Prussian
he, she, it, we, you (pl) they (masc, fem)

When you write it, you can pronounce it aloud, thus you will remember it.
Please write it as column, not in line because it is not so comfortable to check.
