This study observed the usage of the sentence final particle ne by a Taiwanese learner of Japanese. It focused on ne's frequency and function. The research was carried out over 6 months through LINE conversation once a week and an oral conversation once after six LINE conversations. Analysis revealed that oral conversation did not show changes while LINE conversation showed some changes in frequency and function. Notably, in the third term soudesune may have been used as a chunk. In addition, the usage of sone rapidly increased in the fourth term perhaps due to having more input and opportunities to use it.
