Listening to the very end is essential.</p><h2>Topic then comment</h2><p>Many sentences set a topic with は, then comment on it. Once you spot this pattern, long sentences become far easier to parse.</p><h2>Modifiers come before</h2><p>Descriptions and relative clauses come before the noun they modify. Read from the noun backwards to untangle complex phrases.</p>
