Particle Picker: grammar in action
Particle Picker shows you a sentence with a missing particle and asks you to choose the right one from several options. You practice in real sentence context, not isolated rules. This is the fastest way to develop particle intuition.

Particles are introduced gradually by JLPT level. N5 covers the core set (は, が, に, で, を, へ, から, まで, と, や, など). N4 and N3 add nuanced uses and compound particles. Hane’s grammar archive has lessons for each level.
Frequently asked questions
What are Japanese particles?
Particles are small words (usually one kana) that attach to nouns and verbs to show grammatical function: topic, subject, object, location, direction, and more.
Why are particles so hard?
Particles do not map neatly to English prepositions or grammar. A single Japanese particle can do several jobs, and the same English idea might use different particles in different contexts. Practice in real sentences is the best cure.
Does Hane teach all particles?
Hane covers all JLPT particles from N5 through N1, with dedicated lessons for the most confusing pairs and a Particle Picker game for practice.
Can beginners learn particles with Hane?
Yes. N5 particles are introduced early in the beginner path, and the Particle Picker game starts with the basics before moving to advanced usage.
