This video shows you how the が particle actually destroys your Japanese as it is the most important Japanese Particle yet is so heavily mistaught. By introducing you to the concept of the Øが, you will truly understand what the が particle does and will never have to ask "は vs が" or "が vs を" ever again.

The first and most important thing we need to know about Japanese is that there is NO sentence without a が, even if we can't see it. が can be removed grammatically, but it cannot be removed LOGICALLY.

The reason for this is because the が ga-particle in Japanese ALWAYS marks the Subject. Nothing else in Japanese marks the Subject other than が, and が cannot mark anything other than the Subject.

Øが (pronounced "zero ga") is a concept that makes sense of Japanese for English speakers.

The Øが concept is not known by Japanese natives as they have no need to understand the language through English eyes.

Since English has a very egocentric view on the world, the Øが assists English speakers by re-introducing the ego back where it should logically be. The important thing is that- whether Japanese natives are aware of the Øが or not, it IS logically there.

There is not a single language in the world without a subject because you simply cannot do that. Japanese is not a subjectless language, it is a normal language.

By first understanding that が MUST logically exist in every Japanese sentence, we will be on our way to actually seeing the world through Japanese eyes.

By revealing to you where the Øが is supposed to be at all times, English speakers learning Japanese will be able to comprehend Japanese content that's far above their level.
