Japanese Tutorial
Yes. I'm writing you a tutorial so you'll know what the heck I'm talking about half the time. XD Or unless you happen to be around when Misaki-san and I are having a classic conversation, you'll know what we're saying. ^.^
Okies! And I may have some of the spellings wrong but I only know how to speak it. Not spell it, unless you guys want to read Kanji. XD

Basics!
Hai - Yes
Iie - No
Omaesan - Hey
Konnichiwa - Good Afternoon
Ohayo - Good morning
Sayonara - Bye or Goodbye
Konbanwa - Good evening
Oyasuminasai - Good night
Kimi - You
Watashi - I (for girls)
Ore - I (for boys)
Ai - Love
Kitto - Certain or Surely
Aishiteru - I love you
Doushite - Why?
Nani - What?
Nande yo - What's wrong? or What is it?
O-genki desu ka? - How are you?

Now for honorfics:
-san means Mr. or Mrs.
-sama means to express with very high respects along with Leader.
-kun follows mostly after boy names. Girls usually address boys with the -kun. It can be just out of friendship or if you have like a crush on the guy.
-senpai means like your superior.
-chan means that the person is younger than yourself. And it's mostly used with girls names. The same way that -kun is, basically, except guys mostly use it.
