@GOwin, I tried the link you posted, It's a great reviewer but I can't get past lesson 5 tests. I think there's a bug in this part. Have you passed all the tests here?
edit: I got it now - you have to use formal words.

koko means "here" or "this place/position"
Been learning japanese for a little more than half a year now
Last friday a group of students from japan came and visited us
And then I realised how much japanese I already know and can use

本当ですか。だれが殺しました。
hontou desu ka? dare ga koroshimashita ka?
(Really? Who killed it?)
I think it's a waste to let this thread die like this. What do you suggest to bring it back to life?

hai, wakarimashita. aisatsu no tango wa dou desu ka?
>Got it! (Understood!) How about some Greeting words?<
Ohayou gozaimasu.
>Good morning<
Konnichi wa.
>Good afternoon/Good day/hello<
Konban wa.
>Good evening<
Oyasumi nasai.
>Good night<
NOTE: the u at the end of a word are often pronounced very short or often not pronounced at all, i.e: gozaimasu = gozaimas, desu = des.

Some notes:
Ohayou gozaimasu is said up till noon, then it's konnichiwa untill somewhere around dinner. From there it's konbanwa untill you go to sleep
Usefull phrases:
Itte kimasu [ittekimas]
>said before you go from home, "i'm leaving and then i'm coming back"<
Itte dakimasu [ittedakimas]
>said before you eat (and no, it doesn't mean that you're going to eat and then throw up ) <
