Figuring out words out of Japanese sentences is rather hard for someone from the west due to the different grammar.

Funnily enough Japanese grammar is easier than English or German once you wrapped your head around it. ^^ As a rule of thumb: Except for negation (nai, arimasen,...), politenes indicators (desu) and those peculiar sentence endings (degozaru, date ba yo, nya) the predicate is at the end of the sentence. Knowing this one thing already makes it immesurably easier to break down a Japenese sentence into something you can translate.
