The next particle lesson is in the works! There’s about 8 pages for the particle が 😖 Discord is also still being planned! * I have been very busy with advancing in my job and volunteer work, so I haven’t had much time to sit and focus on Japanese. But with summer here, I will have a little more down time to work on this! #selfteaching #japanese #languages #language #beginner #japaneselanguage #learnjapanese #jlptn5 #jlpt #n5 #easyjapanese #japanesevocabulary #hiragana #kanji #katakana #teaching #iloveteaching #teacherkitsu #wanttolearn #languagelearning #japan #selfstudy #onlinelearning #officialshiritaino (at Phoenix, Arizona)

Found while packing up! Once upon a time, I was able to form my own after school Japanese language club for an elementary school that I taught at. This was the lesson plan that I wrote up for my kids in the club💖 #selfteaching #japanese #languages #language #beginner #japaneselanguage #learnjapanese #jlptn5 #jlpt #n5 #easyjapanese #japanesevocabulary #hiragana #kanji #katakana #teaching #iloveteaching #teacherkitsu #wanttolearn #languagelearning #japan #selfstudy #onlinelearning #officialshiritaino (at Phoenix, Arizona)

ただいま！👋🏻🏡 * It has been a long time since I have posted anything and I apologize for that. The last year was very busy with various things and I could not keep up with the lessons that I had planned for you guys. My fiancee and I are going to be moving again and once that settles down, I will be returning to teaching Japanese by April❤️ * The website has been postponed, sadly, as I couldn’t make it as properly as I wanted. BUT I was thinking about creating a Discord channel where you can learn Japanese and chat with me for easier learning✨ * As always, let me know what you think and I’ll see you soon! いつてらっしゃい~🌸🦊 #selfteaching #japanese #languages #language #beginner #japaneselanguage #learnjapanese #jlptn5 #jlpt #n5 #easyjapanese #japanesevocabulary #hiragana #kanji #katakana #teaching #iloveteaching #teacherkitsu #wanttolearn #languagelearning #japan #selfstudy #onlinelearning #officialshiritaino (at Phoenix, Arizona)

Introduction to Japanese Particles

Part 1: A 「は」

こんばんは〜🍶✨ Tonight's new lesson is up!✌📚

✨Introduction to Japanese Particles!✨

This lesson is a little different and will probably need to be read a couple times over to fully grasp how to use the particle "は". 🤦🏼‍📑

Also! There is no romaji in this lesson.😱‼️ The sooner you can get away from relying on romaji, the faster you will learn hiragana.

(But no worries! I did include furigana over the kanji!)

Without further ado, here is the new lesson below!

*****

Introduction to Japanese Particles

Part 1

A: 「は and の」

「は」Topic Particle

· What is a topic particle?

A topic particle is a particle used to mark the topic of a sentence. It is found in Japanese, Korean, Ryukyuan (a group of languages spoken in the Amami Islands, Kagoshima Prefecture and the Okinawa Islands, Okinawa Prefecture of southwestern Japan), Imonda (a Papuan language of Sandaun Province, Papua New Guinea) and also has limited use in classical Chinese.

**Remember! While は is normally pronounced as “ha”, it is pronounced as “wa” when being used as a topic particle.**

Structure:

“As for X, it is such that…”

It puts forward the item that you want to talk about or comment on.

Now, topic phrases in a sentence such as 私(わたし)の専攻(せんこう)は日本語(にほんご)です (My major is Japanese.) 日本語(にほんご) is the subject in that sentence.

However, not all topic phrases need to be the subject of a sentence.

In the examples below, we will see sentences where non-subject phrases are made topics with the help of the particle 「は」.

Examples: 1.

日本語(にほんご)：ここは寒(さむ)くありません。

英語(えいご)：This place is not cold.

2.

日本語：今日(きょう)は京都(きょうと)に行(い)きます。

英語: I’m going to Kyoto today.

3.

日本語：朝(あさ)ご飯(はん)はもう食(た)べましたか？

英語：Did you eat breakfast already?

In the examples above, we see は promoting expressions as the topic of each sentence.

In the example below, は is used as a way to catch the listener’s attention and to invite a comment to what is being said.

4.

日本語：晩(ばん)ご飯(はん)は？

英語：How about dinner?

**Note: The topic 晩(ばん)ご飯(はん) is not a subject relation to the verb, but is instead its direct object.**

Stay tuned for Part 1: A 「の」

頑張って下さい！

いってらっしゃい〜🌸
