I love you is aishiteru. You may want to check out the language section of your local book store. There are even books on Japanese in the manga section of some stores. I suggest you try something with a disk with it, if you are like me and have a hard time with pronouncations. I always find it easier if I can hear the words being said. If you can afford it The Rosetta Stone is awesome. My friend is using it right now and she says it makes it so easy. She's going to let me borrow it when she's through.
