I recorded conversations held by non-native German speakers who learned mostly in classes and compared their particle (well, just, right, etc.) usage with that of non-native speakers who learned mostly without instruction. Then I compared those to native speakers. Now I just have to make the case for better particle instruction in German classes. It should be easy because I’ve already illustrated that particle usage is important for communication and affects the perceived language skill of the user, but ugh, writing.
