lol, Sadly these few words will go along way with an English speaking Japanese girl. Even though they can speak your language fluently they will be impressed by your short knowledge. I hooked up with a Japanese girl due to knowing that small amount. Gave me the advantage over other people at least.

Konnichiwa - Hello

Hajimemashite - Nice to meet you(Generally used before you can use how are you)

O genki desu ka - How are you

Ohayou Gozaimasu - Good morning

Anata wa totemo kawaii desu - Your very pretty

Watashi wa Scott - My name is scott


However if this is not your only intension then i would advise looking around the internet and in book stores, they are full of useful equipment. I would generally stay away entirely from Kanji though as it is difficult and no needed till advanced stages. Im going to fail my Japanese exams purely for the Kanji being so hard.

Sugeii! Got any other tips?

Speak softly and open doors lol.

Apparently the simple thing of opening doors for each other is not a very common thing in Japan.
 
Do My Dishes,

You should learn to write Japanese words in Japanese characters, and not write them in abc's. The basic set of Japanese characters is called Hiragana.

Here is a webpage called "Hiragana!" which teaches hiragana online:
TheJapanesePage.com - Learn Japanese for FREE -- How to Wow! with language, culture, kanji, and grammar


Check out this book that I recommend:


"Writing Hiragana"
(hiragana practice)
ISBN 0-8048-3620-5


If you need to, you can install hiragana on your Windows 2000 or XP computer:

Installing Hiragana on Windows XP

Installing Hiragana on Windows 2000 Professional

~~~

If you can master Hiragana, you are making an important step in learning Japanese.

hi all..
i hear japanese only in anime like fma, bleach..
i want to learn so that i can understand their speech without reading subtitles,
but dont know where to start. i cannot read even the letters :(
anyway can anybody suggest me sth to start with?
bytheway is it possible to not learn the writing style but still can speak japanese? would it be harder or shall i learn the letters stuff too?
thank you
 
Hi Atashi,
Well, I only started learning Japanese a short time ago, so... I would encourage, even though writing is difficult! In fact, I haven't yet started to learn kanji. I have learned only hiragana. There are 2 phonetic alphabets, hiragana and katakana. Kanji are symbols, there are many, thousands!

It's possible to learn to speak/listen but not to read/write, I would think, because when I consider it, there are some English people who find it difficult to read and write their language, so... For starting, I am concentrating more on speaking, but also learning the hiragana. The phonetic alphabets are not hard, and you can make yourself understood in writing if you know them. Personally, I think speaking is most useful if you are going to Japan, but... some day, I hope to learn kanji, too! Of course, if you go to live in Japan, kanji would be necessary.

In speaking, I find grammer and pronunciation not so hard, so, go for it!

Good luck, I hope you enjoy learning!
