Naomi sensei in some cases toriaezu can also be translated as anyway when changing topic right? Like: yeah sure, Toriaezu lets not do that now. Yeah sure, anyway lets not do that for now. And I think tattoieba (for example) (I'm not sure if I wrote it correctly) could be very useful if someone is trying to explain something. They might use this right? Yo minnasan

Like, あなたはすごいです OR あなたわすごいです? Isn't this giving the same meaning? And when I listen to Japanese people it hears like they are saying WA and not HA. ありがとうございます! Hello there, I got a question :)

Why do I write は instead of わ ?

Like,

あなたはすごいです
OR
あなたわすごいです?

Isn’t this giving the same meaning? And when I listen to Japanese people it hears like they are saying WA and not HA.

ありがとうございます!
