For the usage of ~られる, passive voice, please check out Lower Intermediate Season3 Lesson17-18. I hope this helps. トーマスさん

This time hair made of paper is more likely exist than paper made of hair, I think. ex) Watashi no ninjoo no kami wa kami no kami desu. "The hair of my doll is made of paper. / is a hair made of paper." I hope this helps. Pam-san,

Why are they different? one was kami wa and the other was kami no???? I thought they were similar sentence structures.

Where is this?? I am also wondering if there is a site where I can listen to Japanese conversation to learn to listen to the sounds I am learning.
