1. Particles. These are the hardest, weirdest, most confusing part of Japanese, and it just so happens that I am awesome at them. Comes completely naturally. I can figure out when to use 'wa' or 'ga,' 'de' or 'ni,' 'kara,' 'ka,' 'e,' 'no,' 'mo,' 'ne,' 'yo,' and 'wo.' Yay Japanese and to a lesser extent yay me.
2. Verb endings. No "o, es, e, emos, eis, or en." That's all just "masu." Past tense is "mashita." negative is "masen," and past negative is "masendeshita." potential mood has its own verb ending, as does preferative mood. No screwing around with "to do," either. Either a verb has "to do (suru)" it or not, and it stays that way. Just conjugate the "suru" and leave the other part. Or never use "suru" with it at all.
3. Because nobody else does.
4.... Ah, other things have come to occupy me.
