It seems to be very difficult for Japanese learners to master (or maybe for Japanese instructors to teach) how to use particles "-wa" and "-ga" in Japanese. But is it really that difficult? In this article, I will show you 1) some common problems Japanese text books have and 2) my simple and easy solution to this.

In this article, I discuss common pronunciation mistakes that Chinese learners of Japanese make when they read Japanese sentences. I organize it into three arguments. 1) Common mistakes in pronunciation when they pronounce [ba][be][bo] as [pa][pe][po] unknowingly. 2) The mechanism of how they often pronounce the voiced labial explosive consonant [b] in Japanese as a voiceless un-aspirated labial explosive consonant [p] and also pronounce the voiceless labial explosive consonant in Japanese [p] as the voiceless aspirated labial explosive [ph] . In this section I also discuss the reasons behind why they make these mispronunciations. 3) How they can acquire correct Japanese pronunciation in labial consonants.
