I say this not to insult you, but just to point out that you shouldn't rest on your laurels w/r/t particles.

well, going from dictionary form to te form isn't troublesome, but sometimes when im reading i gotta stop for a second and conjugate in reverse to figure out what the base verb is.
but you're probably right, there is probably a lot of particles and uses that I have yet to see, and i simply don't know that I'm messing up. Perhaps I'll do some writing today and post it somewhere to see if I'm messing up and not realizing it.
but is the distinction between wa and ga really that hard? I always thought the distinction between topic and subject to be fairly simple. Something tells me I'm dead wrong.
