Welcome

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.

Oh, wow. Thank you so much! (And coooool. I didn't think I'd get Japanese and Mandarin, and I got them before I got Spanish. *very impressed with you*)

Sadly enough, this is the thread that gets me to delurk. If I may offer some alternate Japanese translations (all use simple verbs without compound characters, conjugated into imperative):

Welcome
Yokoso (ようこそ)

Read
Yonde (読んで)

Listen
Kiite (聞いて)

Create
Tsukutte (作って)

Sagashite (探して) Literally closer to "Look for"
Shirabete (調べて) Literally closer to "Examine/Investigate"
