Juno_Dagger Saerenna some of these are probably spelled wrong, but... Hontou- true, truly Arigatou- thank you Sankyuu- thank you( xd ) Sumimasen- excuse me/sorry Gomen- sorry Sephiroth-perfect (aheh... joking again...) eikou- glory Buchou- captain/leader of a group katsu- to win makeru- to lose... Hime- princess Kakkoi-cool(usually in reference to how someone looks) sugoi- awesome/wonderful/amazing suteki- wonderful suki- like/love Oh....Sugoi! Hai! ^_^ and then I just remembered Mamoru-protect Yakusoku-promise Oretachi- we(males... but I'm not sure if it would apply with girls and guys or not...) Minna- everyone Sayonara- goodbye(with a tone of finality) Ohayou- like 'good morning' Koori- ice(I think, pretty sure) gakuen- referring to a school of some sort. I've never actually figured out what makes a school a gakuen or not. I'm thinking it means middle school.

For your "oretachi", it's actually "ore-tachi". The "tachi" is an honorific of sorts, classifying it as a group. Hence watashi-tachi, omae-tachi, etc.
Gakuen means "academy", or "campus".
...gomen nasai. I'm studying the language.

But the only problem was that I never noticed -tachi on anything else, so I wasn't sure. That's what I get for watching things full of males and little to no females. But girls can't be bishounen. xd

Then try it. Even if you can't take a class, it's not that hard to get started.

Not only that, but I found downloadable self-teaching audio. xd One of the first things it teaches you is how to say, "I don't understand Japanese." LOL. The only problem with that is you have no idea how to spell things... >.> Romanized or not.
