Help, friends list?
I need translations (in any language - I will totally welcome things like Elvish and Klingon, too) for the following five words:
Welcome
Read
Listen
Create
Explore
Any bilingual/multilingual people out there who like to help me out? You'll get - okay. You'll just get thanks. But they will be very sincere thanks.

Welcome: 歡迎
Read: 讀
Listen: 聽
Create: 創作
[Definitely contextual; this version is specifically "create," with imagination implied, whereas zuo4 (作) by itself is a more general "do" or "make."]
Explore: 探險
[Also a bit contextual. This version (tan4xian3) is to explore in a sort of adventuresome way. If you want explore in a more investigative sort of way, then go with tan4suo3: 探索. I suspect the latter is more commonly used as well, but I'm not a native speaker so don't quote me on that.]
