Hello!
Today let's talk about bedtime stories.
Did you know that bedtime stories are also a good way to learn a new language, especially for beginners?
The grammar structure is simple, using only basic vocabularies and simple adjectives, so even when translated into another language, you can easily find out the meaning.
For example :
(English) Once upon a time
(Japanese) Mukashi mukashi 昔々 むかしむかし
(Indonesian) Pada jaman dulu / dahulu kala
(Spanish) "Había una vez" or "Érase una vez"
(Filipino) Noong unang panahon
(Swedish) det var en gång
(Dutch) Er was eens
They all mean "Once upon a time" or is an expression with very close meaning to it.
Popular bedtime stories around the world include (with minimum alteration to the story):
Little Red Riding Hood
Three Little Pigs
The Boy Who Cried Wolf
The Ugly Duckling
The Ant and the Grasshopper
The Hare (Rabbit) and the Tortoise
So if you think bedtime stories are only for children, you might change your mind after trying a few.
You can start with your personal favorite and expand from there.
Here is a Native Mate chosen bedtime story for starters.
The Little Girl and the Flying Star
