A few more you may use:

Bueno = OK

Vale = right (like the English term "right" or "right you are" or "all right then")

Parece bien! = Sounds good!

Well, I hate to be a spoil sport, but when reading DESTINYROSE's question:

is there any other word for yes in spanish, other than si?

I remembered that when learning why the accent is so important in Spanish, one of the pairs of words given to illustrate of how the accent governs a change in meaning was these two: "if" and "yes".

So what I think DESTINYROSE meant to write was "sí"

That reminds me, "simon" should have an accent over the o. ¡Simón! - Malenor, MAR 2, 2010
Yes,, Janice you are right! - renaerules, MAR 2, 2010

I've heard some young Mexicans say "Sip" for "Yep"
