I could stand to learn a little more Japanese. I’ve going there recently. I only know a handful of words, but I use all of them with every local I meet:
Hai - uh-huh
Eeie - uh-uh
Konichiwa - howdy
Sayonara - adios
Kudasai - please
Arigato - thanks
Domo arigato - sank you betty mush
Arigato guzaimasu - Is that what I ordered? (It’s actually for when somebody gives you something)
Moshi-moshi - for answering the phone if you want the person on the other end of line to fire off a bunch of words at you that you don’t understand
