Japanese Facts
Particles' are used often in Japanese - small words which denote how words in a sentence relate to one another
The subject or object of a sentence in Japanese does not need to be announced if it is clear from the context - this is called being a 'pro-drop' language
Japanese nouns have no gender, number or case - so the word 'hana', which means 'flower', will always be in that form if used as a noun
