What do you like? Saying what you like and don’t like is critical to your survival in a foreign country. Japan is no different. But did you know that we can use the same grammatical pattern to express things that you are good at and bad at doing? It’s true. And it couldn’t be easier! Today we will learn the attributive use of the particle ga in Japanese. It sounds like a mouthful, but you’ll be surprised how useful it is. We’ll learn to express likes, dislikes and abilities. It’s a very important Japanese grammatical construction, so you don’t want to miss this Beginner Japanese lesson!
