You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I can do English and French, that's it. I think learning a bit of Spanish would definitely be worthwhile, but I haven't taken the time to do it thus far. I'm guess I'm just fortunate that so many people around the world know English.

I can say hello in English, Spanish, Japanese, and Italian. I can only say goodbye in English and Italian (everyone in Italy said "arrivederci" not "chao," I noticed). I wonder why we learn hello more often than goodbye? Maybe that's a good thing :)

I speak fluent German, so that would be one language I could say Hello (Hallo or Guten Tag) and Good-bye (Auf Wiedersehen, Tschuess, Adieu, depending on which region in Germany you are from) in. I can say it in Spanish (Hola, Adios) and in sign language. I know in Hawaiian Aloha is supposed to mean both Hello and Goodbye. I know in Italian, Hello is Ciao, not sure about good-bye. In Chinese, Hello is Nihao. Okay maybe, I don’t know too many. My 5-year old does, however, own a book on children saying hello to each other in over 40 different languages. Maybe I should freshen up my knowledge with this Kindergarten level book one day. I’m sure it would be fun to know.

Ah yeah, aloha - forgot that one. :)

And you should! It's always great to come across someone who's native language isn't English, and you can say "Hello!" to them in their native language. :)
