You guys are slowing down? Thank you! I really want to learn Japanese but I only know a few words like arigato (Did I spell that right?) means "thank you" I really could use some help...

hmmm... well, the book I have starts with how to say good morning, good day, good evening, how to introduce yourself, and how to say "it's good weather, isn't it?" and stuff like that...
so can you guess which is which: - doozo yoroshiku, onegai shimasu - hajimemashite - ii otenki, des ne - kon ban wa - konnichi wa - ohaiyo gozaimasu - watashi wa Tive des
they are one of: - good afternoon - good evening - good morning (formal) - I am Tive (literally: me about Tive is) - it's the first time we've met - nice weather, isn't it - please take care of me

Er... well, if you're talking about learning to read Japanese, I found the following site pretty cool for learning hiragana & katakana (although in retrospect, I do feel it would have been better to learn hiragana first, which isn't what that site advises...) www.kanjistep.com/

I don't know much Hiragana, but I know a fair amount of Katakana...
I'm better at speaking Japanese though, rather that writing it...
