Also Expanding my vocabulary in general.

and Kanji usage and pronounciation.

like「本」...

When used in the surname「山本」it says "moto", however when used in 「日本」it reads "hon". It can be quite confusing at times.

Its like Learning how to spell you have to know what word you are trying to write and how it is said. You can't just look at a Japanese word and know off hand what it says you have to actually study words them selfs. (basically you cant sound it out all the time)

As for the Particles on Complex sentences just remember what the last word you said. particles always follow the word they mark.
