for thank you -you may say
"domo" or "arigato"
to be most polite you may use " domo arigato gozaimasu"

for hello - you may use
" hello " or " konnichiwa "

for shopping -you may use
" shoppingu" or " kaimono "

for please - you may use
" dozo " or " onegaimasu"

happy shopping and most japanese understand Eigo / english but they are too shy to converse .

Did you mean shopping as a verb or noun?

Everyone else has answered it as a noun but if you want to use it as a verb you can say

kaimono o shimasu (the end of shimasu has a silent u)

past tense is shimashita ( I went shopping)

I want to go shopping is kaimono o shitai

shimasu is the long or polite for of suru which means do

I wont bother answering the rest as everyone else has done a good job of telling you.

Shopping Japanese is not too difficult. Here are some phrases that will help you.

How much is this? = kore wa, o ikura desu ka? (polite)
O ikura desuka? (friendly)

I'll take this one. = Kore wo, kudasai.

Where is/are the...? = ~wa dokodesuka?

Can I try this on? = kore wo, haite mite iidesuka? (standard)
kore wo, haite mitaindesu ga... (semi-reserved style)

Can you please return my sales tax. = Shohize wo kaeshite hoshii desu.

For tourists, if you buy over 10,000 yen of non-perishable goods, you can get your sales tax back. Stuff you can't get sales tax back on are stuff like food, batteries, tape, etc. Stuff like dishes, shoes, clothes, are okay.

Can you speak English? = Eigo hanasemasuka?
Eigo dekimasuka?

Is there anyone here that can speak English? = Eigo ga dekiru hito imasuka?

Good luck!

Please contact me if you have any other questions.

Hope that helps.

Go to a book store and buy a book ! You can read it on your way over there..."hello" can change with time of day. Japanese is a very complex language...

Thank you: "arigato"
you can also just say, "domo." It's like "thanks."
Hello: "Konnichi-wa"
Good morning: "Ohayo gozaimasu"
Good evening: "Konban-wa"
Shopping: "Kai-mono"
or you can just say "shoppingu"

"Hello" depends on the time of day:
今日は - konnichi wa (pronounced: kohn-nee-chee-wah) is good afternoon
今晩は - konban wa (pronounced: kohn-bahn-wah) is good evening
お早うございます - ohayou gozaimasu (pronounced: oh-hah-ee-yoh-goh-zah-ee-mahs) Good morning

ありがとう - arigatou (pronounced: ah-ree-gah-toh) is thank you.

買い物 - kaimono (pronounced: kah-ee-moh-noh) is shopping.

**I had accidentally said arigatou meant good-bye because I had just typed "hello". I fixed it now. Arigatou is thank you NOT good-bye! lol.
