True, but the case explanation ("ga marks the subject) makes no sense when the student encounters sentences like: 私にはそれがわからない 私は日本語がしゃべれる 像が鼻が長いよ 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

"わかる and potential verb forms take the thing you can do as the subject."
How many single-verb sentences with multiple が have you encountered IRL (i.e. not in grammar explanations)? This is a point of debate (where I'm probably in the minority), but I think such sentences are hard to understand and should be rewritten.
