Hey, I've juste started to learn Japanse so I don't know that much but I can help a little bit.
The informal hello is "Yo".
Then, according to the moment of the day, you'll say "Ohayo" (morning), "Konnichiwa" (afternoon), "Konbanwa" (evening) and good night is "Oyasumi"
How are you : "O genki desu ka"
Where : "doko"
Where is the library : "Hon'ya wa doko desu ka ?"
My name is : "Watashi no namae wa ... desu"
