The list is rather big and there are as the words I've already knew so the words I don't know at all. As soon as I will have learnt them I'll surely ask for more.
By the way, maybe you have some rules? I'd like to. At first some rules about pronunciation. Onegai ^^

P.S. I want to write it in the PM but it was said that your message box is full and I can send you nothing >_<
Do Itashimashite Tsusu!^^
I'm happy to hear that you are going to study that list. So please feel free to send me a pm anytime if you want more words and/or phrases!

[o btw, you can send me a pm anytime now. I have some free space again. Many people want to learn about the Japanese language, so I'm doing my very best to help everyone who's interested. I think that's why my message box is often quite full, sorry for that Tsusu. I will pay more attention next time.^^

Allright!^^ I hope the rule for the pronunciation of ''Onegai'' [written below] helps you out a bit.

Ah, firstly let me talk about the word "onegai shimasu". "Onegai" is actually "O" + "negai". When we want to be polite we add "O" at the beginning of a noun. However, you cannot omit "o" from "onegai shimasu" to make a friendly, nonformal form. It is simply because "onegai shimasu" is a phrase that cannot be made into a friendly form, I guess. If I must come up with some kind of explanation, I have to explain the meaning of "onegai shimasu".
