Alright, I just wanted to say hello to everyone. I just started here, I got started as soon as I got my confirmation email.
I'm on lesson 1.1 and I'm a little confused about one part of the conversation. The "kochira koso" that Kenny states at the end:
"Kochira koso yoroshiku onegaishimasu"
I understand that the entire sentence translates into "Pleased to meet you too" but I thought that the same could be done with just "Yoroshiku onegaishimasu" I previously that "kochira koso" had another meaning, as I've heard it used in other sentences. Am I wrong? What does it mean by itself?
Lesson 1.1

Um, nevermind this please. I understand what it means. I think I jumped ahead and didn't pay attention to that part of the explanation. My apologies.

No worries! Thank you for your questions!
Just to clarify :roll:
*Kochira koso* by itself literally translates as "this side" and "as well"
It's the "too" part of _Pleased to meet you TOO._ :D
