    One year my daughter got a autograph book and had each country write Hello and a little saying in their native lanuage. The gentleman at the Trading Post who carves wood, Andrew, wrote three pages of Swahilii. After that they all did it. Japan was the funniest, for they had a hard time translating their own language back to English.
    My daughter now allways stops by and sits with Andrew for a spell. He remembers her and allways lights up when she shows up and says Jambo.

    First let me say how considerate that you would greet the castmembers in their native tongue, second I think any good attemp works, also try going to your local library and in the kids area there are usually great books that explain things about the specifin country to kids and have a few phrases (good day, thank you, etc) When I was teaching I found these just as fascinating as the kids.
    I remember striking up a conversation in my broken German at Biergarten and the hostess was still please she told me she was having a blast but missed home and would talk to anyone who would let her in German.
    Viel Glück (good luck!) on your journey around world showcase.

    "Hello" in French is "Allo" (basically "Hello" without the "H" sound).
    It's funny that you say that... I speak French, both as my minor from school and within my family, and we only say "Allo?" when answering the phone or sarcastically (as in hello? are you paying attention?) Otherwise we use "bonjour" or "salut". On the otherhand, we almost never use "au revoir," favoring "a bientot" or "adieu" instead.

    Prince Charming: It's offical. I've lost my mind. First I'm hijacked by bluebirds and now I'm talking to ...imaginary mice.

    King: I do trust you son.... It's the talking mice I'm worried about...
