わたし- I (standard)
わたくし- I (female)
ぼく- I (male teenagers)
おれ- I (men)
じぶん- Oneself/myself (men)
あなた- You (standard ; affectionate when used alone, calling the loved one)
おまえ- You (Boy talking to the girl ; can be ironic, rude~)
きみ- You (affectionate ; when speaking to a kid ; elders use it too)
てまえてめえ- You (Old, angry, rude, men)
こいつ- You (Not nice, literally "this person")

When talking to someone best option is:  Name + name ender

The name ender depends...

~さん- Mr/Mrs/Miss (Standard, polite, all situations)
~くん- to address men (your age or younger)
~せんせい- "teacher" (also used on doctors)
~せんぱい- to address peers that were there already when you came or to address someone that's better than you at something.

Whoa that's loads of vocabulary at once. Nevermind, it's fun :D

And to end a small piece of grammar:

これ - This
それ - That
あれ -That (over there)

Examples: 

これえんぴつです。This is a pencil.

それ なんですか?What is this?



この - This
その - That
あの - That (over there)

The difference between  the two (this-this, that-that, that(over there)-that(overthere) ) is that the second set needs to be followed by a noun.

Examples:

このえんぴつ あたらしいですThis pencil is new.

そのたべものおいしでしたか?Was that food delicious?

All for today ^^
