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 and in natural Japanese (kanji with furigana 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYou may want to try to read the story either 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 book offers several ways to read, listen, and learn. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eFOR UPPER BEGINNERS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMomotaro is designed for those new to Japanese.
