Japanese, skillfully, can speak, so that, I want to become. [Syntax]
📖 Explanation & Nuance
The correct answer is に. The sentence '日本語(にほんご)が 上手(じょうず)に 話(はな)せる よう に なりたいです' means 'I want to become able to speak Japanese skillfully.' The grammar pattern ~ようになる (you ni naru) means 'to become able to do something' or 'to come to do something.' The particle に is essential after よう to form this structure. It connects the 'よう' part to the 'なる' part. '話せる' is a potential verb, 'よう' is a particle, and 'なりたいです' is part of the verb phrase, none fit this particle slot.
正解は「に」です。この文は「日本語が上手に話せるようになりたいです」となります。「~ようになる」は、「~できるようになる」と変化を表す文法です。「よう」と「なる」の間には助詞の「に」が必ず入ります。「話せる」「よう」「なりたいです」は文法的に不適切です。
