Good try with Kanji and Hiragana!

刺身は好きですか。いいえ、好きでわありません。
>>刺身は好きですか。いいえ、好きでわ(⇒好きでは）ありません。

this わ need to be は, because it’s particle. Otherwise it’s just perfect!

In the first, the emphasis falls on "do YOU like it?" and not tofu. in the second, the emphasis is on Japan, and not on whether or not you like it. To say nihongo wa suki desu ka? would stress whether it is liked more than whether specifically, Japan is liked. Kind of rough, but thats all i can do for that question. and yes, it does confuse a lot of people, native and foreign alike about wa and ga, my general understanding is ga is emphasis on what comes BEFORE, vs WA emphasising what comes after.
so

tofu wa suki desu ka?
and
Nihon ga suki desu ka?
In the first, the emphasis falls on “do YOU like it?” and not tofu.
in the second, the emphasis is on Japan, and not on whether or not you like it.

Now I feel the single best thing you can do is get the money together to buy "Remembering the Kanji 1" by James W. Heisig. This book was it for me in my struggle with kanji, It would either help me learn or I was just going to quit japanese all together. Needless to say it did so in a big way,or I would not be using this site today. It is geared to self study and didn't just help me learn kanji, it helped me own kanji. So now using this site,Pod 101,really is paying off. Once you get over that hurtle write out ever thing in japanese you can get. I write out all the conversations in the lessons here. I am on to intermediate lessons now and just going back over these ones to get more material to write out, so write,write,write.nothing is to simple once more write.

Once you got that you'll need a site or two to use it. I like the following.. TBS radio 954 and the japanese news service "FNN". TBS is good due to the fact the shows they run nearly all have "Homepages" were the talent post their blogs. Using Rikaichan here pays off. FNN will give entree into the "Belly of the Beast". That is the in's and out's,up's and down's of life in Nihon. Every thing from weather to who's been caught taking bribes,you know all the same things we have in the rest of the world. Really great vocab builders. Using these free options will keep you going forward till you start pulling down an income and afford great assets such as Pod 101. Kiki-chan,

What kind of "Ki" (tree) do you not want to be under? A "Byouki". O.K. you can stop laughing now.... I just want want Our japanese friends to know we have them here in the "states' as well. Why does a "chicken coup" have only 2 doors? Well if it had 4 it would be a "chicken sedan". or my favorite A horse walks into a bar. the bartender says "Hey why the long face?"

I'm a free member, so I don't have access to the other things, because I can't afford it (I'm 15 and I don't have a job. I have an eBook on sale that's, well.....not selling). I know this sounds cheap and stupid, but is there anyone out there who would be willing to teach a rookie Kanji? I am already good with Hiragana and a little shaky with Katakana, but I'm willing to learn. :oops::oops::oops::oops::oops::oops::oops::oops::oops::oops::oops::oops: *embarrassed* Konnichiwa!

It's not always necessary, and shows respect for the item or the person you're speaking to. So you might say "osushi ga totemo suki desu" to a sushi chef if you have great respect for him and his sushi, but you might say "sushi ga suki" to a close friend.
