This is where lots of newbies get confused.

you're probably even better off NEVER saying 私 or あăȘた.
That is why language study is such a great exercise. We assume so much from the language we already know, and when it doesn't apply to, in this case, Japanese there are freak-outs.

It is a mind-expanding experience to learn another language.

It's like learning that 2+2 does not always equal 4.
