If you'd like some translations, here's my 2 cents:
shalom - Hello (also peace, bye, hi).
lehitra'ot - bye, see you.
boker tov - Good morning.
toda - Thank you.
toda raba - Thank you very much.
tov me'od - Very good, very well.
bevakasha - Please.
ken - Yes.
lo - No.
regga -Just a minute
rak regga - Just a minute
beseder gamur - OK
sababa hegozim - (A completely Slang phrase that says "Okey dokey")
ma shlom cha? - How are you?
baruch hashem - Thank God, OK (The usual answer when someone asks "How are you?")
