All About Particles | Your ultimate Japanese particle guide for JLPT N5

This video is your ultimate Japanese particle guide for JLPT N5 study. It's all about Japanese particle. Let's learn basic Japanese particles effectively! Particles for both formal usage and casual usage (casual Japanese particles). Japanese use many casual ending particles such as ne, yo, dayo, etc. Let's master it and speak like a native!
Particles are similar as “preposition” in English such as on, at, in etc. but not exactly the same. Examples of particles are ga (が), wa (は), wo (を), e (へ), ni (に), etc. and most of the particles have more than two usage.

I know many Japanese learners think particles are difficult, but once you learn the rules, it’s not that so difficult! Let me go through it, so don’t worry!
I created the particle lesson notes in my blog. Please check here for more detail about Japanese particles!


In order to make this video, I used this book Power Japanese "About Particles”. I bought this over 10 years ago in Australia.
