No I don't, unfortunately . But I'd love to learn !! I only know tiny, tiny snippets of some languages.....

There's this thing in Japanese that I love saying: kare wa atsugatte iru (it means, 'he is hot' ).

There you beat me, in japanese I only know "Domo arigato", "Konnichi wa" and "Banzai!"

I'm glad you liked that!
I felt like putting some explanations, as our expressions can be pretty weird by themselves, as you may have noticed...

KaE-YU and Pashen'ka, domo-arigato, merci beaucoup, grazie, danke, etc, etc!! I'm glad you liked my little phrase !! Though, you should hear me say it - everyone thinks I sound like a Japanese cartoon character !!

KaE-YU, I couldn't read what you wrote (it just came up as squares) .

I so love this thread

Hm.. well it looks like everyone can speak English here. How about I put some other words we use in America (or at least in Louisiana... where I live

Hello: Hey (I don't know anyone who says "hello" )
Love: Heart (Although I say love... but when I right it out I draw a )
Cool: Rad (I'm the only one I know who says this though haha), awesome, sweetness (I really can't stand this but I know allot of people who say it), hot (I don't like it because it reminds me of Paris Hilton )
You all: Y'all (I really hate this word though. I say you guys or you all.)

[Tess]

how do i pronounce this word tess?

Sorry, didnt seen your post until now...

Its very difficult to explane how you pronounce it, but I`ll try my best

Norwegian word for Love = Kjærlighet

Kj- say it long down in your throuht, Its like saying the first Ch-sound in chocolate, only you say it further down your throut.

(In Norway we have three more letters in our alphabet after z :æøå)

æ- If you say Hai very "cool" (not) and shallow the a will almoust sounds like the norwegian æ

r- is almoust the same as english

l- say it on the tip of your tongue

ihet - same as english, but remember to hold the e (you also pronounce that letter like this: eh!) a little bitt longer

So then... Kjaaerligheet try!

I learned some phrases in phrase book...

Ｇｒａｚｉｅ，e` ｍｏｌｔｏ ｇｅｎｔｉｌｅ． it means :Thank you for your kindness.
is this right?

Yep!

It means "Thanks, you're very kind" and the only thing I should add is that the phrase is a bit formal, using as it does the 3rd person singular (it's the same as using the "Vous" in french), while in informal talks we use the 2nd person, therefore the phrase would be "Grazie, SEI molto gentile"
