I'm still learning but what about wa (わ)? It's used to signify the subject of a sentence I think.

It's actually 「は」, and... kind of. It marks the topic, which is sort of the thing the conversation is generally about, which typically is the subject of each sentence, but not necessarily. It's kinda hard to explain it well since it doesn't really map cleanly onto any grammatical feature in english.

I thought that's the is/am/are (I forgot the term for these)
