Mona and I discuss my theory that students of ANY language should read Haruki Murakami's novels.

Starting at 17:26, I explain the following vocabulary from the episode:

to get a feel for (something)
on the one hand; on the other hand
down to earth

瓜田李下

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!
