Thank you for teaching me some Japanese greetings. The pronunciation of the first greeting (good morning) is very difficult, I think. How can we say 'Hi' or 'Hello' casually?

Ohayougozaimasu is very polite expression and mainly used for superiors.
We can casually say Ohayou, instead of Ohayougozaimasu.
In addition, we can also say Yahho to our close friends and it can be used regardless of the time we use.

Fascinating! I'll keep that in mind. Are there any other things I should know about casual greetings in Japan?

When we meet someone for the first time, we say "Hajimemashite". It's similar to "Nice to meet you"in English.
When I meet someone again for the first time in a while, we say "Hisashiburi". This is "Nice to see you again" in English.

Great grasp of casual greetings! Are there specific situations where using "Hajimemashite" or "Hisashiburi" would be more appropriate, and do these greetings vary in formal settings?

We always use "Hajimemashite" when we start participating in new community, such as working a new workplace or entering a new class.
"Hajimemashite" can be used for everyone including superiors.
On the other hand, we can't use "Hisashiburi" in formal settings. This is a casual expression, so we use "Ohisashiburidesu" in stead. This is very polite.

We say "Bye-Bye" and "Matane" to friends.
Matane is similar to "See you soon".
