Hi, it depends on what you are talking about. "Good" has several translations in Japanese. The basic examples are: よい / いい He is a good man. --> かれはよい / いいひとです。 おいしい / うまい This apple pie tastes good. --> このアップルパイはおいしいです。 *うまい sounds casual in this case, so we say このアップルパイはうまい。 じょうず / うまい Her Italian is good. かのじょのイタリアごはじょうず / うまいです。However, I would say かのじょはイタリアごがじょうず / うまいです。 *In this case, うまい isn't as casual as the one of "tastes good" but it's also more casual than じょうず. There are more translations but these are the most common ones. I hope this helps you.

”うまい” is "wonderful" or also used if something is tasty. ”いい” is probably what you're looking for.

I was taught 良い ｉｉ

I don't know if I understood you correctly but the word "good" in Japanese is "うまい" - "u ma i".
