Miu to no kekkon can be explained as the sentence, Watashi wa miu to kekkon shimasu. explaining the word, kekkon.
This timem watashi wa adn kekkon shimasu are omitted because they are obvious and redundant. No before kekkon is a particle modifying the noun after it.
Yurushite kudasai means “please allow us to do..”

hey guys,

I just want to say that I really loved this story. There were a lot of elements that made it really interesting and fun, which helps to remember the story and also the Japanese.

I just think you guys have an amazing program. I have tried several methods to learn Japanese, and your grammar points and use of stories and dialogues are fantastic. Also, I think Peter and Naomi are really cute and fun to listen to. You are a great team!

Somethings that I am doing are really helping my progress and I’d like to pass them along:

I listen to your dialogue, then I write out each phrase of the dialogue in hiragana (once I start focusing more on kanji, I’ll write the kanji out, too)

After I write out phrase, I record myself saying each phrase. But, it really helps to break up the phrase into smaller parts (your brain retains information in “chunks” better). I also sing the phrases which I separate into smaller chunks. I kind of chant with a melody the phrases a few times into my microphone. (Your brain remembers songs and rhymes.) Then I say it as fast as I can without any errors.

After I finish doing this with the whole dialogue, I record another track of me saying the dialogue as fast as I can in Japanese. (So I can get used to speaking and listening to fast Japanese, in case I run into someone who speaks really fast).

It has really helped! Since your stories are really rememberable, and your grammar lessons are easy to grasp, you guys are doing wonders for my Japanese. I loved this story!

I just wanted to pass along what has helped me to process your materials more effectively.
