I think "subarashii" and "suteki" are quite formal and are a bit mild compared to "sugoi".
New words:
to = and
Watashi to anata
>Me and You
kore = this (object with first person)
sore = that (object with second person)
are = that (object far from first and second person)
pen = pen
enpitsu = pencil
hikouki = airplane
Kore wa pen desu.
>This is a pen
Sore wa enpitsu desu.
>That is a pencil
Are wa hikouki desu.
>That is an airplane< (Airplane is far from both people)

Actually "sugoi" really means >coolIt's a phrase often used by japanese (when they visited us and saw something they always said "sugoi" or "suke" (even more informal))
And "subarashii" really means >wonderfull< (suteki might be a more informal version of subarashii)

More words/phrases:
Kono = this, same as 'kore' but should refer to a certain object.
hon = book
omoshiroi = interesting
Example:
Kono hon wa omoshiroi desu.
>This book is interesting.
Sono = that, same as 'sore' but should refer to a certain object.
Ano = that, same as 'are' but should refer to a certain object.
kuruma = car
Examples:
Sono enpitsu wa watashi no desu.
>That pencil is mine.
Ano kuruma wa anata no desu ka?
>Is that car yours?<

Arigatou gozaimasu Qoastro-san.
Some useful conversations:
When meeting someone for the first time...
Konnichi wa. (Or whatever greeting is appropriate -- refer to previous lesson.)
>HelloWatashi wa Blackspot desu. Hajimemashite.
>I am Blackspot. How do you do (or nice to meet you for the first time).
Usual reply...
Hajimemashite. Watashi wa Qoastro desu. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.
>How do you do? I'm Qoastro. I'm pleased to meet you.
Notes:
1. "Hajimemashite" is only used for the first time you meet.
2. Do not use "san" to yourself. e.g.: "Watashi wa Blackspot-san desu." is wrong.

I have a tattoo on my shoulder, in Kanji writing:
Can you tell me if its accurate? I checked thoroughly before i got it, but it still niggles at me. Its supposed to read "Craig" although i am aware, due to translation issues, that it reads Kareigou or something close to that, can you tell me exactly?
