This may have been covered, I didn't see any posts though in a quick read through. I am a true beginner and, as such, have no idea how sentence structure works in japanese. I've gone through a good number of beginner, newbie and survival phrase podcasts when driving and am learning a good amount of vocabulary...... But it seems even in the newbie lessons when they come across particles and things that have no equivalent in english they just explain what that particle does right there.
I guess I would like some basic lessons in sentence structure and particles ect...., rather then dealing with them as we come across individual differences in the lessons. I am still quite unclear on these basic points and it feels like I'm just collecting words sometimes

. Its been hinted at that many lessons are meant to aid in people taking low-level classes already, but there are none offered where I am..... My semi is my classroom and my Ipod my instructor

, so please help me clear up some conceptual issues.
