i think it is more critical to learn ga first because it is then easy to tell difference with wa.

marks existence, verbs aru, iru, gozaru,irassharu and oru.

it also marks what ever does the action:

あんたがボールを落した
you dropped the ball

は AND が s diffference cannot be explaine dhere in your obsolete language:

the both mean you dropped the ball, but with wa, itis explaining something about it:

you are the one that dropped the ball (you are the one who did the verb of dropping the ball)

with wa:


you about you, dropped the ball
