finding the count of repetition of every element in a list

Question

Hi, I need a code that checks every element in a list and assigns a count of repetition to that element.
for example:
list1 = ['i' , 'be' , 'then' , 'i' , 'i' , 'then' ]
and the output would be something like this:
count of "i" is 3
count of "then" is 2
count of "be" is 1
#note that output will show count of all of them at once

1. Create an empty dictionary
2. Iterate through your list

if item not in dict, then add item as key : value =1.

if item already in dict, then value +=1

When you have finished iterating, you will have a dict containing words : occurences

print them out
