Use particles to find word boundaries and read short beginner sentences in chunks.
Japanese sentences usually do not use spaces, so particles help you see what each part is doing. When you notice a particle, the sentence becomes much easier to chunk.
わたしはがくせいです。
I am a student.
は marks the topic.
ほんをよみます。
I read a book.
を marks the thing being read.
ねこがいます。
There is a cat.
が marks what exists.
