    'wa' and 'ga' I really cannot get the hang of 'wa' and 'ga.' If both are nomnative particles, identifying the subject of the sentence, when do you use which? And why do you say things like 'Watashi wa nihongo GA sukoshi hanasemasu' - when 'nihongo' is here the OBJECT of the sentence? Why would '... nihongo wo ...' be incorrect here? No one seems to be able to give me a clear explanation of this.

    Polite refusal When politely declining an invitation to eat (for example), which is better: 'tabeta ku nai desu' or 'tabeta ku arimasen'? As far as I can see, the two expressions mean the same thing; but the second is much more of a mouthful to say. And, the past tense, would one say 'tabeta ku na katta' or 'tabeta ku arimasen katta' - or what? Apologies for this very ignorant question.

    'I can speak' Should I say 'hanasemasu' or 'hanashite dekimasu' or 'Eigo ga/Nihongo ga/ Furansugo dekimasu? Or are all these right? But watashi wa ninhongo ga hanasu/wakaru koto ga dekimasu/masen would be correct (if rather laborious), yes?
