sensei: teacher konichiwa: hello inkey: fishy su: you dumbo: idiot
those are the only words i know, learned from movies with japanees in them.
dumbo means idiot? i thought idiot meant bakka or something like that.
Hmm, I think there's a mistake for the last three words. Inkey and Dumbo are not something that can be pronounced using hiragana, while the term 'you' is also not す(su). That's 君/きみ(kimi) or あなた(anata), or 手前/てめえ(temee) which is a vulgar expression.
Fish: 魚/さかな(sakana) Idiot: 呆け/ぼけ(boke) or 馬鹿/ばか(baka)

Rather than using the katakana form, you can use 桃色/ももいろ(momoiro) to represent pink. Also, もち(mochi) is the correct word for sticky rice cakes.
However, there's one mistake that you have to take note. 'Child' is 子供/こども(kodomo). Only when used in 女の子/おんなのこ(onnanoko)-'girl' or 男の子/おとこのこ(otokonoko)-'boy' then is 子/こ(ko) used to denote 'child'.
I know some words~! But I have no idea how to put them in katakana/hiragana/kanji. sweatdrop
Ichi-gatsu = January Ni-gatsu = February San-gatsu = March Shi/Yon-gatsu = April Go-gatsu = May Roku-gatsu =June Nana/Shichi-gatsu = July Hachi-gatsu = August Kyuu-gatsu = September Juu-gatsu = October Juuichi-gatsu = November Juuni-gatsu = December kawaii = cute (hehe everybody knows this one) daijoubu = "Are you okay?" (at least I'm pretty sure that's what it means) onigiri = riceball utau = to sing (I heard that somewhere) aoi ( or is it ao?) = blue aka (akai?) = red kuro = black shiro = white neko = cat inu = dog kitsune = fox kuma = bear (i think) umineko =seagull higurashi = cicada urasai = "shut up!" or annoying? omoshiroi = interesting sugoi = "cool!" yuki = snow tatte = stand up suwatte = sit down sora = sky ohayo gozaimasu = good morning konnichiwa = hello konbawa = good evening oyasumi nasai = good night kami = hair/paper/god (depends on the context I guess) kinyobi = Friday baka = idiot osu = "yo" or "hello" ( i think) niisan = older brother? niichan = older sister? (I confuse the two very often) aishiteru = "I love you" nande = "why?" nani = "what"

That's a rather long list.
大丈夫(だいじょうぶ/daijyoubu) This can be both a question and an answer, depending on the tone. Not every question has to end with a か(ka).
兄さん(にいさん/niisan) Older Brother 姉さん(ねえさん/neesan) Older Sister Often used with the honorific お(o) when used to address an older sibling.
歌を歌う(うたをうたう/utawoutau) To sing a song.
Too lazy to check out the others to see if they are correct. My knowledge of the language is very limited.

Wrong usage of grammar. "Yo Ni" means to do something in a particular fashion or an object is like some other object. So in other words, you've made it sound like "I am like a pancake."
The better term is: 私はﾊﾟﾝﾄﾞヶィｷが好き。(Watashi wa pandokeiki ga suki - I like pancakes).
Second, Aishi, being the masu form of Aisuru (To Love) combined with the possessive No makes your sentence say "The Pancakes of Love--ing--er--something." Either way that's also incorrect. The better term is like my first sentence, except replace "好き" (Suki) with "大好き" (Daisuki), which means favorite. So it'd be, "Pancakes are my favorite!" or "I really like pancakes!"
Third has the exact same problem. You're making it say "I am like a waffle." Which this is starting to make me think you were pulling a prank on some poor unfortunate learner who wants to speak!
The proper term for saying you don't like something is "
