What's the difference between the が、を、へ、に、で、and な particles?
I'm learning Japanese and I can't figure these out.
When and how do you use them?
Please put examples :)
Also, how would you say "or"?
As in:
"Do you prefer cats or dogs?"

There are MANY MANY ways to explain, you will need to buy an actual Japanese grammar book to explain all the differences to explain it all. It cannot be answered in one short post.
Wikipedia has some examples:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_particles
In Japanese "or" can be presented by "~と" but ~と itself has many meanings depending on context use.
The problem is your introduceing too many at once.
Do you think babies when speaking poped out many sentances at a time. No.
You start from the ground up.
Start with WA, master it. Get some other sentances.
Ga, No, O. should be your next.
To, De, Ni, E, Ya, There are many more.
This website and lesson will help you, but i suggest you go through the first lessons befor you start with all the particles. Or watch the video lessons.
