Nani sore?! What is that?! ( I use this everday especially when people mess up like cutting me off in traffic) You can use this in regular conversation of course. However, Sore, nan desu ka is much more polite.
miru>>mimasu>>mite (me tay) etc..
I say mite to my mom all the time. She doenst know what I am saying though. Mite is please look. Long form: Mite kudasai~ Please look.
Also, if you want someone to show you something: Misete (please let me see/please show me [polite]) Sore misete~ Please show that to me. My elementary kids said this ALL the time. I'd bring a ball with the American flag on it and the class busts out in chaos, " Koza-sensei, MISETE!!!!"
man, i love Japan....

あの...日本ごお すこし だけ しますか。
Ano...Nihongo-o sukoshi dake hanashimasu.
(Um...I can only speak a little Japanese.)
すみません, あなたわ えいご はなしますか？
Sumimasen, anata-wa Eigo hanashimasu-ka?
(Excuse me, do you speak English?)
おしえて!
Oshiete!
(Tell me!)
すみません おくれました。
Sumimasen okuremashita.
(I'm sorry I'm late.)
なにすんだいよ?!
Nani sun dai yo?!
(What the hell are you doing?!)
Eh...tell me if I'm wrong on those. Especially the last one, as I've only heard it off of several of my DVDs. xd

oh my gosh~ I havent been to this thread in a while.
Hara heta (very informal)~ Im starving!
Onaka ga suite imasu (formal)~ Im hungry.
*For any of you who may be in college and/or graduating soon I so suggest the Japan Exchange Teaching (JET) Program. Google it. It is the program I went over to Japan on. Its one of the highest paid teacher jobs and you are well taken care of. I taught in preschool, elementary and Junior high school. I was also asked to do a community eikai wa (englsih conversation) class. If you love children and have a passion for Japan consider this job. It pays close to $2,800 (USD) a month.
*I think I will make this a thread of its own in the future...

your aniki Koza-san wa suge na hito da. [Koza is a cool person!] <--- at least I hope that's what I said if you want an accurate trsaltion, it'd be kakoii in place of suge *slang for sugoi, which is amazing* And I'm suprised someone would know the slang term for Sugoi Zokugo Nihongo wa wakatte? (you understand slang Japanese? *i hope i said that right...*)
