Japanese

<p>
	In this lesson you will learn to give and understand traffic directions.
	Take a look at the following sentences:
</p>

<table class="ui celled table">
    <tbody>
        <tr data-item="216841"></tr>
		<tr data-item="216846"></tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

<p>
	Even though normally the word <strong>at</strong> is translated with <strong>に</strong> or with <strong>で</strong>,
	in the above sentences the particle <strong>を</strong> is used.
</p>

<p>
	The particle <strong>を</strong> is often used to indicate motion through something,
	and together with motion verbs often means <strong>through</strong>, <strong>from</strong> or <strong>past</strong>.
	The particle <strong>を</strong> indicates a point that is between the origin,
	which would be marked with the particle <strong>から</strong>,
	and the destination, which would be marked with the particle <strong>へ</strong> or <strong>に</strong>.
</p>

    <tbody>
        <tr data-item="218382"></tr>
		<tr data-item="218385"></tr>
