But how am I gonna get to know a person if I don't understand a word of what they're saying?! Hahahaha that's why I stick to English even though I could... make an effort and try to speak a language other than English when travelling, see how far I'd get

this is a kinda "nanpa" conversation. hahaha.

Hi. This is Tomoko. Nice to meet you. What your name? R u a student? I'm from Japan, where r u from? If you want, let's have a cappuccino together?

Nope, Spanish do two kisses, one on each cheek; I think it's French people who do three? Okay, so I'll give it a go: Ciao. Sono Suki *kisses cheek lol*Como ti chiami? Sei una studentessa e sono di 'Spain' [err Spagne...?]. Se ti va, prendiamo una birra insieme?

How do you say "I'm sorry, I have a boyfriend" ? I've been told that Italian guys don't hesitate to hit on foreign girls x)

Italian "mi" and "me" r properly contrary in Spanish's.

Yeah, that's right. It's 'como te llamas', not come, that means eat xD! And mi is a possesive adjective [mi coche = my car] and me is a neuter pronoun which is often mistaken for the subject of the sentence.
