I don't know any Japanese right now. You could start of by googleing for basic Japanese phrases. Like. Learn how to say "Answer in yes or no." and take it from there.

Hai means yes. If you need to say what? you say nani. At least that's what I'm told.

If you knew what you wanted to say, I am sure you would get some quick help.

Hajimemashite - How do you do?
Douzo yoroshiku - Nice to meet you

Boku wa ___ - My name is ___
____ suki - I like ____
____ jouzu - I'm good at ____
Anata mo? And you?

Hai, ee, un - Yes (from most to least polite)
Iie, uun (hold the U longer) - No (same way)

Nani? - What?
Yukkuri onegaishimasu - Could you say it slower?

If you're daring...

Minnasan konbanwa eiga o mitai ka? - Hey guys, you want to see a movie tonight?

After the movie Yokatta ne? - That was good, wasn't it?

Or something like Ashita, isshoni nanika shimashou - We should do something together tomorrow

Ja ne - See you later

Anata wa genki? How are you?
Daijobu / Daijobu? - I'm alright / Are you alright?

Hontou? - Really?
Doushite? - Why?

This should do you for now. Tell me if you need anything else.

if you really need help and have about $30 you can go to Barns And Noble and get japanese for dummies

so you get some basic things......

iku - to go
iku zo - we're going/lets go

nani(yo)/nanda yo(more boy-ish)- what is it/what [note: yo isnt pronounced like the way some people greet each other with "yo whats up" or whatever way you may use "yo"]

iie - no (umm im not sure what language you speak silversoraryuu, but i dont think we need to switch the sounds)

@silversoraryuu - hitoshi....= wth???
umm i dont think its a good idea to watch anime and write out what you THINK youre hearing, especially if youre trying to "teach" someone

He could have meant Hitori (one person)

Shadowulf · (#10 (**permalink**))

yeah maybe, but it might be because ive been to japan for 5 weeks, and have been listening to jmusic for several years already,
but i find it hard to mistake hitoshi and hitori by hearing o_O"

and he said it was something along the lines of 'my'...o_O"
