Your native language (Português) 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 →Portuguese is verb-medial; Japanese is strictly verb-final. Reorder "eu como arroz" into "eu arroz como" — subject, object, verb.
Portuguese already omits eu/você — Japanese goes further and drops anything obvious from context, with no verb ending to recover it. Lean into leaving things out; repeating わたし sounds unnatural.
O/a/os/as, gender and plural -s have no Japanese counterpart — nouns stay bare. Particles carry the grammar; nothing marks definiteness.
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.
