Weaboos - I need your help!

I'm a highschool senior in an international studies class. A group of Japanese students is going to visit my school, and I get to lead one around and show them my disgusting American lifestyle and school curriculum and whatnot. Based on my teacher's assumption and previous experience with this type of thing, he's told us that the Japanese students probably won't know a whole lot of English, or will understand it but be rather shy about speaking it.

Anyway...I would like to know how to say a few basic things in Japanese, or know a few basic customs, etc. etc. And I'd like to learn it from you guys, for purposes of amusement and because I don't trust phrasebooks (as if Anonymous is more reliable). Also, for those of you who know what you're talking about, what would a Japanese student travelling to the US expect out of their American hosts?

Also, instead of trying to make them feel comfortable, should I just kidnap them? There's about 40, I think I could start a decent shoe factory/ninja clan with that many.

Well, I'd guess they wouldn't travel to the US if they were completely incompetent in english, so I wouldn't worry too much about making myself understood. Just greet them with the proper japanese greeting, and ask something like 'eigo ga wakarimasu ka?' to make them more comfortable, or if you want to go the extra mile, look up words/phrases for things like subjects, food etcetera
