We have learned these in many languages: (feel free to add more languages to the words we have already had, we still miss a few )

*Chocolate

*thank you
*Happy Birthday
*your own country in it´s own language

and various other words.

----------
Chocolate

Finnish = suklaa
Danish = chokolade
Spanish = chocolate
Basque = txokolatea

-------

*Good morning

OK, (* he says, feeling like the tardy, slacker student that he is *)
Here are some other French words and/or phrases:

(Remember even if they look the same, imagine I am saying them with an
outragously flamboyant French accent !!)

*your own country in it´s own language
Canada = Canada (English and French, Canada is Bilingual)

and of course:

Hockey game = jeu d'hockey

I speak French badly = Je parle français mal

oh, and here's another song we sing, Ka-ching gave me the idea of posting it:

Mila kilo zorion
dizugu eskeintzen,
beste urte berri bat,
duzulako hasten.
Baietz asmatu zenbat,
dituzun betetzen, zergatik ez ditugu
txaloka kontatzen? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ...

We wish you a thousand happy birthdays
because you're turning another year now,
I bet we can guess what age you're turning
we don't we count them clapping? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
