Question about Japanese
むかしむかし、ある所におじいさんとおばあちゃんがいました
The website I'm reading this on translates "所" as "しょ”、
Is there a difference between using it as ”ところ” and "しょ”

So, the correct reading way is ''あるところ''.

- Japanese
しょ → 音読み(おんよみ)
→ This way come from chinese sound. We cannot understand the meaning if it's only 1 word.
しよ → ?
場所(ばしょ)
ところ → 訓読み(くんよみ)
This way come from Japanese original sound.
We can understand the meaning even if it's only 1 word.

Maybe you should stop using the website as I don't believe any Japanese native speakers would make such a mistake.
