ok, you know when you hear japanese, it's like mumbo jumbo, well thats because you don't know what they're saying. For instance, if you knew what konichiwa means(which you should) then you would probably hear them say that, but then the rest of the sentence would be bleh. If you knew more words you would come to hear the words they speak of. Just like when I got taught english. It sounds like crap a first, seriously. You'll come to understand that once you master the language. It won't be as cool anymore, thats the sad part. I thought english was so cool at first, now....it's regular.
Anyway, particles, I'll list all and tell you what they mean, starting with

wa- identifies main topic(Watashi wa)
ga-identifies main subject
wo-tells the 5 w's (who when where why what)
ni- shows movement
de-tells location (nihon de which means japan)
ka- put at end of sentence to say it is a question
yo- put if screaming or hollering-(goes at end of sentence)
ne- kinda slang, it means isn't it? eh? It's a whole ballgame if you use it saying jaa ne( which means see ya which is somewhat slang)(goes at end of sentence)


thx for your time, see you tomorrow, sayounara biggrin
