So now your resulting to insults, how mature of you.
And don't even go into the America doesnt treat foriegners bad, I've experienced it first hand, even though they've treated me like dirt I still like america I think it has many good points. The only thing I said was that America doesnt treat forigners who have trouble with the language very good.
And I said people our age in Japan, you know teens and such, and you know why...because a handfull of kids from America act like obnoxious yankee idiots. (note, I said a handful, I am not refering to everyone) You'd be suprised at how a small group can infuence a large groups opinion all it takes is 1 and that 1 ruins it for everyone.

There's a few different ways to say each of these phrases, but these ones should help you out:
I'm really sorry
Hontou ni gomen nasai
本当にごめんなさい
Don't mention it
Dou itashimashite
どう致しまして

"Cool" is most commonly "sugoi" (すごい).
So just saying something like "Naa, sugoi!" would cover it.
There's also the word "suteki" (素敵), which is used as the adjective "suteki na" when put before a noun.

I have a question! XD
I was watching the kid's program on NHK and this man was reading a text. There were subtitles, all written in katakana. But sometimes when サ was on the subtitle, there was something like furigana and there was a そ next to サ. and the man said そ instead of さ. o__o and sometimes it was written フ and he read ウ.
Why did this happen???? o____o

Urrrr?
Sounds like something I'd have to see because I'm not quite sure what's going on. My best guess is that it has to do with different pronounciations for words, or maybe substituting a word that has a similar meaning. I really don't know... I wish I could see it.
