I'm English is a little different. It should be:
Watashi wa America-zin desu. (I am American)
or
Watashi wa Igirisu-zin desu. (I am British)
But I don't think there's a way to say I'm English in Japan.

well, from watching anime I picked up on a few.
Youkai- Demon
Kappa- water sprite (I thought this was a word in English XD so I used it in a paper)
I find that -sama seems to mean Mr., Ms., Lord, or Lady when translated. Go figure- I prefer if they keep the names in Japanese.
I've seen -sama in two ways: Sanzo-sama and Sanzosama. The first one was in a manga (Saiyuki) , the second in a book called Samurai William. I used Sanzo because it was the firsts thing to pop in my head.

MacPhisto-chan well, from watching anime I picked up on a few. Youkai- Demon Kappa- water sprite (I thought this was a word in English XD so I used it in a paper) I find that -sama seems to mean Mr., Ms., Lord, or Lady when translated. Go figure- I prefer if they keep the names in Japanese. I've seen -sama in two ways: Sanzo-sama and Sanzosama. The first one was in a manga (Saiyuki) , the second in a book called Samurai William. I used Sanzo because it was the firsts thing to pop in my head. youkai is best not translated as demon because some youkai are wroship. and also here sama still does not imply mr/mrs, all anme suffix do not imply that andno way of saying. sama is only for people really high above you, you're boss, a preist. it is also use for people who are unknown (for example in letter to unknown person you use kun, and you find out letter was to emperor, you cannot say i did not know you were the emperor) also using name for a person REALLY close to you is unaccept. only with VERYYYY close freind you may use name.(and relative and boy/girlfriend, wife,husband,kids, sister[younger],brother[younger]) kappa, water sprite may be mislead because water sprite and kami are called suijin. kappa is a youkai turtle that can walk and has dish fill with water in skull. it is very knowlegdable but it like to suck your intestine through a**s.

I'm pretty sure its "urusai" or am I wrong?
My grandpa uses another word similar; do you know "yakamashii?"
Many I's and You's
watakushi/watashi =I
anata = you
washi/wachi = I
anta = you
boku = I
omae = you*
ore = I*
kimi = you
atashi = I (usually women)
*omae and ore are considered slightly impolite.
nyuu-hafuu (emphasis may be incorrect) - transvestite. There is a game show called "New Half" or something, and the object is for someone to guess which girl is not a "new half," its fairly entertaining.

Yay; Kansai-ben. xD I love it.
I like the term "Mokarimatte?" or "Mokarimaka?" It's basically the equivalent to "How's it goin'?" "O genki desu ka" etc...
Also, "Mecha~" is used to accent a word like "MECHAKUCHA!" is, like, "REALLY COOL" or "Damn good!" stuff like that.
"Mecha-Kawaii desu yo~!" - - - "It's so cu~te!"
and stuff like that. ^^
Also, I've seen that some people say "Maido" like "hello."
I've actually got a list of things that this one family I stayed with - Hayakawa - wrote for me 'cause I liked that dialect so much. ^^ It seems to be popular with teenagers these days. Lots of them like using "Ma-ji!?" xD I love it too. (It's even in this one video-game and I was like "wh00! I can read it and I know what it means! xD )
Then there's:
"Eraikocha!" which is a lot like "OMG!" xD I'm such a valley-girl, so I use that a lot.
Oh, and then there's the ever-useful "Maketa" which is like "Make lower," "Give me a discount," kind of thing.
The Kansai region's a big marketing area, so lots of things have to do with business. Like "Mokarimaka?" is like "How's business?"

( or gottsu kawai de!)

I remember kappa from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 movie... and that's disgusting... xp
