THE STORY
The Mouse Bride story is a charming Japanese folk tale about a father mouse and mother mouse trying to find the "greatest man on earth" for their one and only daughter to marry.
ABOUT THIS EBOOK
This ebook contains several versions of the story. First, we have the story broken down line by line with every vocabulary word defined and explained. Next, we go through major grammatical patterns found in the story. After that, read the story with no English, both in hiragana only (with spaces) and in natural Japanese (kanji included). Lastly, we are including a simple English translation, which should be avoided until you are sure you understand the story or find it too difficult to figure out on your own.
You may want to try to read the story either in Hiragana or in natural Japanese first. Or if you are a beginner, it may be better to go through the vocabulary first. Any way you do it, this ebook offers several ways to read, listen, and learn.
FOR BEGINNERS
The Mouse Bride is designed for those new to Japanese. We recommend learning hiragana first, but we are also including romaji so you can be sure you are reading with the correct pronunciation.

Fun Practice
Tales which "spiral" vocabulary, e.g. the tale of the mouse bride, are very helpful with language acquisition. By the time each character declares it's not the greatest in the world, the vocabulary and grammar pattern needed are fairly well reinforced! Music is not the only place where repetition generates pleasure. It's true of children's tales, too!
Read along with the audio file. Give your Japanese tongue some exercise!
