>>452775 I don't have any trouble at all distinguishing "wo," as its function of identifying the direct object of a sentence is totally different from the topic particles "wa" and "ga." I admit that I have trouble discerning when to use "wa" versus "ga," but to be fair, just about every grammar resource I've read has different, mostly vague rules on when to use which, and even listening to people speak Japanese, they seem to interchange them quite often. The rule that I've usually gone by is that you use "wa" to identify the main topic when you have multiple subjects in a sentence, or you use it when you want to put special emphasis on what you're talking about. "ga" on the other hand is used for topics with less emphasis, and also used with question words "doko," "nani," itsu," etc. when the topic is undefined.
