“wa” and “ga”?

Q: What’s the use of “wa” and “ga” and its differences.could you give me a more clear example.doumo arigatou – Fe
A: This is one of those questions that textbooks spend far too long over analyzing, whereas in real life it hardly ever matters. When I write articles in Japanese I can give it to two different sets of Japanese editors and half of them will change all the “ga”s to “wa”s and the other half will change them back again!
And when we talk we hardly ever use them, they just get dripped out of normal sentences.
If you do use “ga” then it usually is used to add a bit of emphathis. But don’t worry about it at all as hardly native speakers do. As with anything just listen to lots of Japanese and you’ll pick up these types of things naturally!

Are there any types of spacing in japanese sentances?
How can you tell which character is part of which word??
Ohayo Gozaimasu! I’ve been noticing that when sentences or songs are written in Kana, when the word is the subject particle ‘wa’, the hiragana for ‘ha’ is used..why is that? Domo arigatou gozaimasu!
