Read Real Japanese with Free MP3s
** Recommended for Beginners of Japanese who have mastered Hiragana and basic Japanese grammar **

Read the most famous Japanese fairy tale in real Japanese! Every line and every word is explained and defined. Sound files Included at no extra charge. One is read at the normal speed and the other at a slow, easy to follow speed. You will find the link to download the MP3s on the last page.

THE STORY Momotaro is a boy born from a peach (momo) who grows up to be a strong, brave man. Oni (ogres) are attacking the village. The villagers beg their hero, Momotaro, to purge their lands of the evil Oni. He sets off with aid from three unusual allies.

The second story in the book is the familiar Tortoise and the Hare story (usagi to kame).

ABOUT THIS EBOOK This book 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 book offers several ways to read, listen, and learn.

FOR BEGINNERS Momotaro 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.

The Peach Boy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 13 June 2013

Another nice paperback from thejapanesepage.com / theJapanShop.com people. Good layout and text size and suitable for beginners and upper beginners. Free downloads are available which include E-books and sound files.
Again you’re given 3 versions of the stories to work through (there are 2 stories altogether), first you have the Japanese text with a running glossary, just Japanese and just English. There’s also furigana (small hiragana for pronunciation) above the Kanji, and a vocabulary list in the back.

Also included are a few extra grammatical notes for the 2 stories, such as a note explaining what kibidango are (dumplings made with millet), and that ‘tarou’ usually indicates a male name. There are also the Momotaro song lyrics with brief vocabulary notes and a “Kanji in Focus” section for The Tortoise and the Hare story, which is just a list of the Kanji used with English and on/kun readings.

Not as long as the Hikoichi paperback, but still very much worth buying.

Nice simple reader

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 13 June 2014

The reader is really well designed and nicely put together. The Japanese text is printed twice, once with a running word list and grammar points, and again with just Japanese.

You get two stories, the traditional tale of Momotaro, the Peach Boy, and a version of The Tortoise and the Hare.

You also get to download mp3 versions of the stories, both in slow Japanese for beginners, and in natural speed.

Great value.
