Here is a really detailed list on many Japanese conjunctions: http://abacus.bates.edu/~kofuji/StudyResources/EnglishConjunctions.html Ones that you will soon probably be studying include the following: Noun〜と〜Noun→ and N〜や〜 N→ and, but indicates that there are things outside of the things that you're listing そして〜Sentence → And でも〜 Sentence → but, used at the beginning of the sentence) S ending in short form〜けれど(も)〜S→ although/but, usually connects two sentences (when you learn how to speak informally, you'll sometimes see it as 〜けどさ or けどね at the end of a sentence). Sentence ending in V+masu form/Desu~が → but 〜から〜 → because 〜ので〜→ because N〜か〜N→ or N〜とか〜N→ and/or (informal) 〜など → etc. There are many more! Just search for Japanese conjunctions and you will find plenty websites with explanations :) がんばってくださいね！

"And" may be multiple words depending on what you are combining, but as far as I know, と is acceptable. "Because" is から. から is attached to です to make ですから. It's different from English in the sense that "because" comes at the end of the sentence, but it functions the same way. "But" is でも.
