Hello~
I'm very interested in learning... I think I know a few basic things but I'm not sure if they are right o.e ... Can someone help me? )= I could really use a teacher..
I know "Arigato" means "thank you"
"Ohayo Gozaimasu" means Good Morning
"Hai" Means "Yes"
um.. ugh.. I can't remember >.<
Sorry.. xD This is why I need help..

おはよ(ohayo)。
Those few phrases that you mentioned are correct.
But the phrase 'Ohayo Gozaimasu' is more formal than just 'Ohayo', though both mean the same thing, which is good morning. The latter is used between friends and close acquaintances, while the former is a more polite form.
いえ(ie) Means 'no', as opposed to はい(hai) which means 'yes'.

Ok :3 Arigato Sensei. I wasn't sure because I've heard both Ohayo and Ohayo Gozaimasu used. So it's sort of like saying "Morning'." as opposed to "Good Morning" right? Hm... I was sort of interested in learning how to make a conversation.. like "how are you?" and "what's up?" ... stuff like that. (If it's not too much trouble)

You've spelled them a bit wrong. >.> It's 'Ohayou' (おはよう）, and 'Iie' （いいえ） And, 'how are you?' is 'o genki desu ka' （おげんきですか）, for the more formal version, or, for mates, 'o genki?' （おげんき）

To further add on to your conversation question skills, besides おげんきですか There are also other ways of asking question to start a conversation. For example: どうしたですか。Which means Whats wrong, when your friend seems down. Also some questions have the answer already in them. In おげんきですか。The answer is usually げんきです。Or to be more formal, おかげさまで、げんきです。Which literally means something like, Because of you asking me the question, I am fine.

genki desu -- I am fine
Doushita desu ka -- whats wrong?
The full formal phrase associated with the question of how are you:
okagesama de genki desu -- Because you have asked, I am fine....or just a really formal way of saying, I'm ok.

こんばんわ。
Haha, looks like I'm getting rusty with a lack of practice.
Thanks for pointing that out.
大丈夫 / だいじょうぶ
(Are you okay?)
This is also used at times to ask if a friend is feeling alright.
