🇰🇷 → 🇯🇵
Your native language (한국어) quietly pushes you into specific Japanese errors. Here are the ones to watch — and the fix for each. This is exactly how WordSlick coaches you, every day.
See my full report & start free →SOV order, particles, honorific logic and Sino-vocabulary map beautifully: 은/는→は, 이/가→が, 을/를→を, 에→に, 도→も. Translate the sentence skeleton directly — it usually works.
The mapping breaks at the edges: Japanese keeps が in subordinate clauses and exhaustive-listing uses where Korean might switch, and は resists appearing inside relative clauses. When a sentence feels off, suspect the particle, not the word order.
You know the hanja meanings, but each kanji has multiple readings (on/kun: 生 = セイ/ショウ/い-きる/なま…) chosen by context — unlike hanja’s mostly single reading. Learn readings per WORD, not per character.
Particles mark grammatical role — choosing は vs が and を vs に is the core challenge.
Japanese is Subject-Object-Verb; the verb always comes last.
Counting needs the right counter word (一本, 一枚, 一匹) for the object’s shape/type.
WordSlick builds every daily lesson around your real mistakes, coaches your native-language interference, and lets you practise real conversations with instant correction.
