Older video games without kanji provide a useful visual insight into the relation between particles and speech patterns of Japanese. Pic related is from the original ポケモン series.
Here is the sentence as it would typically appear with kanji:
>野生のピカチュウが飛び出してきた！
Here is how it is rendered in kana, take not the spaces and relation between the particles and words:
>[あ!]_[やせいの]_[ピカチュウが]_[とびだしてきた！]
Each of those segments in the brackets are spoken as units and when you listen to Japanese speak you will often hear how they make pauses between the chunks. It is a lot easier to notice with slow, deliberate speech or candid talking where the person is thinking and speaking on the fly.

This Youtube clip is a pretty good example of that candid speech. If you listen for the pauses in speech you can get a feel for how Japanese arrange the language into units of meaning in their head.
