Book: His Secret Illuminations

Hello everyone. Today, I would like to talk about one important thing you should know when starting to study Japanese: the difference in the particle "が" (ga).

There are actually two types of "が" that even Japanese people may not notice: "がga" and "がnga." Words that start with "が," such as "がっこう" (school), "ガイド" (guide), "がいこく" (foreign country), and "がん" (cancer), are almost 100% "がga."

However, the particle "が" is basically "がnga."

"わたしが ようへです。" (Watashi ga Youhei desu. I`m Yohei)
"ネコがいます。" (Neko ga imasu. There is a cat )
"それが わたしのペンです。" (Sore ga watashi no pen desu. That is my pen )
If you try to read these as "がga," the pronunciation can be a bit difficult. You don't need to memorize this now, but when emphasizing, you can also pronounce the particle as "がga," as in "あのひと じゃありません、わたしが ようへいです。" (Ano hito janai, watashi ga Youhei desu.　Not that person, I`M Yohei)
Alright. So everyone, please do your best with Japanese. See you again!

・To the students who are starting Japanese from now on,

EL GUERRERO ÁGUILA.

Dentro de la sociedad azteca, el guerrero águila ocupaba un lugar destacado. Junto con el guerrero jaguar y el guerrero serpiente, conformaba una clase aparte dentro ejército de la Triple Alianza liderada por Tenochtitlán.

Quienes se destinaban a ser guerrero águila eran seleccionados con esmero por los maestros del calmécac y del tepochcalli, las dos escuelas donde los aztecas recibían una instrucción obligatoria. Aprendían a seguir la palabra antigua, a respetar los consejos sabios de los más viejos. Antes de dominar el arte de la guerra aprendían a curar. El guerrero era ante todo alguien capaz de defender con valor, su fe en la vida. Al término de muchos años de un duro aprendizaje, los mejores estudiantes eran consagrados guerreros águila.

El cuauhpilli (guerrero águila) ascendía los diferentes grados militares mostrando firmeza y coraje en los combates. La realización de actos heroicos y la captura de enemigos en el campo de batalla eran recompensados. Los guerreros águila constituían la élite del ejército, y entre ellos se distinguían por sus insignias, la riqueza de su ornamento así como la belleza de las plumas que ornaban su penacho. Los de más alto grado tenían un penacho con sólo la parte superior del pico del águila.
