A few things and the I will add to you list! XD

はじめまして (hajimemashite) is stressing that it is good to meet you for the first time. this is a great distinction from the next よろしく (yoroshiku) which is more of a nice to meet you but lit means "Please be nice to me" or "Please accept me kindly"

Last thing: さようなら - sayounara . common error to not put in the long "o" sound *^_^*

To add:

いってきます (ittekimasu) - Say this while leaving the house. Lit : I'll see you later; I'm off

いってらっしゃい (itterasshai) - Is said when someone leaves the house. Lit: Have a good day; I'll see you later; Go and come back safely.

ただいま (tadaima) - Is said when returning home. Lit: I'm home; I"m here/back.

おかえりなさい (okaerinasai) - Is said when someone returns home. Lit: Welcome home; Welcome back.
