About 助詞. How to start studying them, the particles?

Hello! After learning more about kanji (now I know 60+ kanji!), I wanted to try playing Pokémon Crystal so I can improve my vocabulary (the same way I did it when learning English). But in the very beginning I noticed I’m not ready yet:

おなたは おとこのこ ですか?

​

I know it means “are you a boy?”, but the particles… they scare me. A lot! I don’t know what they are. I did recognize “は” and “か” because I’ve casually read about them before, purely by chance, but that’s all I know. Actually, I would probably not even understand the sentence if I didn’t know the game would ask my gender in the beginning…

​

Then I figured the only way to play Pokémon was learning all particles first! That way I would know what was happening when I couldn’t find some word on Jisho, right?

And this is the reason why I’m here.

What did you guys do to learn about particles? How can I learn about them just enough so I can start playing Pokémon?

​

Thanks in advance!
