There's a wonderful WWW site, http://www.macom.co.il/hebrew/ , which
provides a lot of commonly used words and phrases (plus some uncommon
ones).  If you have sound capability (.au format) associated with your
browser, you can even play the words.

(btw, *they* didn't shy from providing the "others" :

ani oheiv otchah (m-to-m)
ani ohevet otahch (f-to-f)
           ^^^^^^  Don, I've never heard it as "otaich"; is that the
		Ashkenazi pronounciation (or has it been so long since
		someone's said it to me :-)?
Plus, if you're a parent of more than one child (or accepting a prize
at the Israeli film festival :-) :

ani oheiv otchem (m -to -many, at least one of whom is male)
ani oheiv otchen (m -to-many, all female)
ani ohevet otchem (f -to -many, at least one of whom is male)
ani ohevet otchen (f -to -many, at least one of whom is male)
