About
The は particle (pronounced /wa/) marks the topic of a sentence and emphasizes what comes after it. When first learning how は works, it may be useful to translate it as "as for X", wherein "X" is the topic marked by は.
When a previous は topic has already been established, は can be used again to change the topic of conversation.
