yeah, I knew about 愛.
I learned how to say 'i love you' reading fushigi yuugi XDD And my mother's friend was born on China and she taugh my mother how to say wo ai ni... it's so different of how it's written! XD

Why is it when "god" is on its own it's spelled kami but when its at the end of a word its spelled gami? As in shinigami

It's a phonetic change - there are a lot of them in Japanese. It's just easier to say "shinigami" than "shinikami", so the K naturally mutated into a G sound.

wow, shiniKami sounds weird.. o___o' (and it's harder to say XD)
shiniGami sounds much better.

XD I didn't even try pronouncing it like that. It does sound weird! Like. . .you're drunk or something. I guess all languages have phonetic changes. I'll have to be careful of them!
Thanks Dreams!

How would you say "i love you with all my heart"
And what does Aishiteru mean?

Aishiteru means I love you ^^

Oh ok now i just wait for the other one

I love you with all my heart.
(Watashi wa) anata o kokoro kara ai shite'ru.
(私は)あなたを心から愛してる。

"Watashi wa" = optional
As always, "watashi" (I) can be replaced with "boku" or "ore" if you're a guy, or "atashi" if you're a girl.
"Anata" (you) can also be replaced with "kimi", or the person's name, or a pet name.

Damn it dreams! I can't believe you learned Japanese from a book. You're so good at it! Oh yea, can someone tell me why when the particle "wa" is written it's written as "ha"?

That I'd like to know. :3 I don't know how it was derived or mutated from 'ha'. I know the kana 'ha' was derived from writing the kanji 波 (wave) in cursive script, but how it became a particle pronounced 'wa'... dunno. Same thing with the particles へ (e) and を (o).

So that's where those 2 characters come from. I was looking up the hiragana and katakana alphabets (?) and I saw those 2 characters in a corner and was wondering what they were for. So they're particles but, like wa turning to ha, they change into another character?

Yeah. I actually made a giant list of particles and their uses here. But the three we talked about are the only ones that have a changed pronounciation.

You're amazing dreams! you read my mind or something. The next thing I was going to ask was what are all the particles and what are they used for. Thanks!

how do you say fullmoon in japanese?
because i'm reading fullmoon wo sagashite and it shows the kanji for fullmoon, but I don't know how to read it XD

Full moon = 満月 = mangetsu :)
