I don't know how to read Japanese, but I have picked up a fair amount of words from watching anime. Here's a few phrases and words I've learned.

This is probably my absolute favorite phrase:
Zettai Daijoubu Daioh! (Everything will definitely be alright!) Sakura's invincible spell in CCS
Ano/Eeto (Um/Ur)
Yami (Dark)
Hikari (Light); this is my favorite word because Hikari is my favorite character from Digimon!
Kirei (Pretty)
Watashi wa (Me too)
Koi (Scary) pronounced (Ko-ai)
Tomodachi (friend)
Ichibango (The most; your number one!)
Tachi (also); Such as Tomoyo-tachi (Tomoyo and the others)
Fujitaka (Wisteria)
Dare (Who); this is how I've seen it spelled on websites, but when Sakura says it in CCS she pronounces it to-day like the word today, but it's not said as one word.
Anato (You)
Desu - states one self like I would say moezy-chan desu (my name is moezy-chan)
Coi-chi (over here)
Asaka-yo (over there)
Doshite (why) pronounced dosh-te; the h is soft though
nani (what)
Doshite-no (what's wrong)
nandemo-nai (nothing at all)
tamare (stop)
matte kudasai (please wait)
keigo (polite speech)

I'll try to think of more later!

I thought kaijuu meant monster. Is there more than one way to say monster in Japanese?

yes there is.

Of course, there will be some suttle difference between the two.

I wanted to know if somebody could tell me the meaning of kusoyaro. I know that kuso means da**, but I wanted to know what the entire word meant.

I'm pretty sure I've heard the word "yaro" used like "b*stard" or something like "scoundrel".... So "kusoyaro" means "you damn bastard/ scoundrel" :D

I've heard that too. On my sisters CCS DVD's, she has 8 episodes from the first season, and Syaoran says kuso, and they translate it as da**. Although when I'm reading fanfiction, they translate it as sh*t.

Thank you. That does make sense. It also sounds funny!

Yes, "kuso" literally means "feces"... In a bad way.. Heh heh, and for moezy chan, your list up there has a few mistakes, but they could be typos? I can't tell...  :sweatdrop:

You = anata
Stop = tomare
Over here = kocchi
Scary = Kowai (Koi is a way to say love! Such as in koibito which is lover)
Me too = Watashi mo (But I think you knew that, cuz I've seen you say it in other threads)
Number one = ichiban (No go at the end)

But like I said, most of these seemed like typos, so I probably typed it all out for nothing!  :keke:

Nice to meet you could also be 'yoroshiku' too but that's just a less formal version... I think. 'Mata aimasho' works as see you later also. But I don't remember. :sweatdrop:

Okamirei, correct ME if I'm wrong... you know more. :keke:

...

the more formal version of 'nice to meet you' is 'dozo yoroshiku onegai shimasu'?

REALLY formal first meeting saying:

Hajimemashite, watashi no namae wa (your name) desu. Douzo yoroshiku. ((Usually bow while saying the second part))

But if you do it like that, it may be a little too formal... It depends on who you're introducing yourself to, really.

just thought that Japanese are usually very polite.. so usually, the first meeting (to strangers/superiors) are always formal?
