I have this lust for knowledge...
See, by the time I die, I want to know how to say 'I want a beer please' perfectly (including any accent required, etc., to sound like a local) in every language known to man.
But, that comes with a draw-back, as someone might mistake me for knowing more than that, so I need to know 'That's all I know how to say' as well...
Now, on top of that, I might have guests, or be really thirsty, so it'd be handy to know how to count, at least 1-10, but 1-100 would be cool, in every language too...
So, here's what I need; I need the translation for 'I want a beer please' and 'That's all I know how to say' in written form (proper spelling, gramar, etc.), as well as in phonetic form. If it's particularly difficult to pronounce properly, feel free to link an mp3 or something. If you can, do the same with the numbers.
If you could also translate 'I love you', I've got a bud on a similar mission, but with different motives (obviously). Hell, 'I love beer' would be cool to throw him off as well!
Anyways, I'm compiling a database for an application called 'SuperMemo' which helps memorize stuff, and I'll provide it to everybody here once it's done.
Please help, I'll love ya!
W.
P.S., I already got a few, but if you see one, but not another, post anyways, somebody 'might' have made a mistake, etc...

Ein bier, Bitte. = one beer please.
1= ein /just like the ein in "Einstein"
2= zwei /sounds more like schvi
3= drei /dry
4= vier / fier
5= fünf / fewnf
If you say this, don't hold up one finger. Germans use their thumb to show one. Then their thumb and index finger for 2 and so on.
ich liebe dich. = I love you

Ic wyscan for āna bēor, đances.
agh! damnit!
Ic wyscan for ana beor, (thorn)ances
I wish for a beer (strong drink/mead), thanks. đ is 'thorn' pronounced 'th' ...so it's like a smeagol 'thankses'... precious...
in OE 'want' denotes from poverty... and 'please' is french :P

That would be why I haven't heard of it. Go big or go home, so they say.
Bwahaha, reminds me of when I was in Holland I sat down for a beer at one of the square's. They brought me this really small little glass (like we have here for samples). My first reaction "what the hell is this? Could I have a Canadian size beer please". She then came back with one of those larger than large pints. Sweeet. And so it was, beerhunter was born.
