Is there a difference between "는\은\을\를 and 이\가? Sometimes I see; 모습이 노래가 그녀가 이름이 연습이 other times I see 모습은 노래를 그녀는(그녀를) 이름을 연습을 what's the difference? >o<; and before you go all "this-that-and this are wrong!!!" actual Koreans have said these words, like this to me ^^;;

은,는,이,가 is put next to subject. 은,는,이,가는 주어 다음에 나와요. If the subject has a final consonant, you will use 은 or 이. 이때, 받침이 있으면 은 혹은 이 사용해요 파인애플은~, 파인애플이~. '은'과 '이'에서 차이점은, '은'은 생김새나 상태 이런거 설명해줄 때 많이 쓰구요, '은'is used to explain its looking, condistion, and other things.. 그사람'은' 이쁘다. '이'는 동작 설명할 때 많이 써요. You use '이' when you explain action. 그사람'이' 나에게 인사를 했다. 받침 없을 때, ( no final consonant ) '는' 혹은 '가'를 써요. like '은', '는'is used to explain its looking, condistion, and other things. 그는 멋지다. And '가' is used to explain action. 그가 차를 운전했다. 을,를은 목적어 뒤에 와요 을,를 are put next to object. 받침 있을 때는 을, 없을 때는 를 나는 파인애플을 좋아한다. 나는 사과를 좋아한다. I hope you to understand well! If you don't understand, you can ask me again!

I'll add some examples to Estelle's answer. Postposition is really important in Korean language. With it total meaning of the sentence changes. It's difficult to explain in English, but I'll try with some examples. 나는 한 여자'를' 보았다. I saw a GIRL. 그녀'는' 정말 아름다웠다. She WAS really beautiful. 그래도 나'는' 그녀'를' 사랑했다. Though I loved HER. 이름이 뭔지 알고 싶었지만 그녀'는' 이름'을' 알려주지 않았다. I wanted to know what her name WAS, but she didn't say her NAME. 그가 여자를 죽였어. He killed a girl. 그를 여자가 죽였어. A girl killed him. (the order of word is wrong but still it's meaning is clear Right sentence is 여자가 그를 죽였어) 그는 여자가 죽였어. It was a girl who killed him. 그가 여자를 죽였다고? Did he kill a girl? 그를 여자가 죽였다고? Did a girl kill him? 그녀가 노래를 불렀다. She sang a song. 그 노래는 이상했다. The song was weird.
