"San" is a title of respect added to a name. (so it can not be used when referring to oneself.)
"Wa" and "o" are particles. They are like English prepositions, but they always come after
nouns. Particles are very important for proper Japanese sentence structure. I will introduce
them gradually later.
Composing questions in Japanese is easy! The word order remains the same, and a sentence
becomes a question by adding the particle "ka" at the end. Question marks are not used in
Japanese.
