Words you learn first in new languages?

[zeme]

I don't know why, but the words "not" and "but" are almost always the ones I memorize first (subconsciously).

[Ilayde]

"Kittens are sweet."

Don't ask why - I don't know it myself, but it's the first thing I want to be able to say in a new language xD

Kettlingar eru sætir...

[hashi]

I always learn how to say "The book is on the table"

[Covered]

"I speak [insert the name of the language here]" and the negative sentence too

[邪悪歌]

usually I like to learn phrases like "hello how are you? my name is..." and a set of logical terms (i.e. if, iff, and, or, but, while, etc.)

[motanz]

Normally, the first words I learn are pronouns, greetings, prepositions and basic verbs (to be, to have, to eat).

But I'm interested in fantasy and mythology, so I also research about the related ones with the language/culture I'm learning, like... Quetzalcōātl & Русалка.
