Really newbie question...

[Vision]

I've gone through the first 25 or so beginner lessons, and I've noticed that people tend to say "ne" (pronounced "nay") at the end of sentences (ex: O'hirunojikan desu ne). I probably spelled it incorrectly, but what does this word mean?

think of it as the Canadian "eh?"
it kind of functions as"isn't it" when it's attached to a sentence.

it's lunctime, isn't
it's hot/cold isn't it.

but it's not actually a question, rather it's just looking agreement.
an appropriate response can be "ne" or "sou desu ne"

it's overused in conversation. you'll hear women having a conversation where almost every other word is "ne"

Thanks alot for clearing that up!
