I think the first one that stuck with me (and I knew what it meant) was
Arigato
It was from an elementary-level book about a kid involved in karate. There was a
decent glossary, but that was the only word that I actually remembered.
Of course, there might have been something further back, but we're testing the
limits of my memory already.
Arigato. This is the first japanese word
I've heard personally.
I just pointed directions to a japanese national when she blurted that word,
with matching bow. o__o
Curious, I asked my father (I LAB MY MULTI-LANGUAGE-DRIVEN PAPA NYIAHAHAHAHA)
what does that mean. I'm so dumb. XP
mmmm....
I think it was 'Arigatou' and...... oh! And 'tomodachi' cuz i used 2 have a
japanese childhood friend,,, those are the first japanese words i've ever heard.
Mine was "sayonara," which means "good-bye, farewell." I heard that from Sonic Adventure 2:Battle.
haha....nii-san from fma =P
it means brother, but ive seen it in other places, so i dunno
konnichiwa, genki desu ka? arigatou, etc
Konichiwa and ohayo
my first word i learned was mmmmmmmmmmm....
i think -baka=idiot-
Domo arigatou, Mr. Roboto...
I think Baka and Arigatou...
Knochiwa too.

First words...if I remember it might be Arigatou but there were a couple more words that I learned before it.One of them is BAKA!:p
Konnichiwa! ^o^
Hai~
:3
I believe it was "itchi" wich should be 1. To say that karate would teach me things I'd actually use today^^'
mine was "arigato"
My first word... ohayo!
I would mine was definitly Baka
Haha, mine would also be Baka, as with so many people before me! I learned it because my friend called me that when I was younger.
Mine first word was "kawaii" which is probably the second most used word among otaku 8d; At least all my friends kept using it so I learned it...(:
TOYOTA too! : )
Ohayo gozaimasu..and it took me hours to keep that word in mind
ermm.. it has been years ago.. well..
arigato or sayonara i think?

I don't remember mine. Probably some baby word that my mom use to say to me all the time when I was little. Like shii-shii or iya-iya. haha~
If I remember correctly, it was "kawaii" or cute.
My friend back then used it excessively.
mmmm....
