Imagine reading “Le Petit Prince” in Hawaiian — and understanding every page

“Le Petit Prince” (in Hawaiian: “Ke Keiki Aliʻi Liʻiliʻi”, orig. Le Petit Prince) by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry — is a complete, engaging story adapted specifically for the A1 (beginner) level. You don't need to know every word. You'll understand 95% of the text immediately, and every new word is explained in the margin. You simply read — and learn naturally.

What is this book about?

  • An aviator, stranded in the Sahara Desert, encounters a mysterious young prince from a distant asteroid.
  • The Little Prince recounts his solitary life on his home planet and his journey across various planets inhabited by absurd adults.
  • On Earth, a wise fox teaches him the profound meaning of "taming," leading him to understand the true significance of his rose and make a heartbreaking decision.

Why does this work better than apps and textbooks?

Our books are based on the Pentecost Method — the only approach 100% based on scientific research into language learning. The result? You learn faster, remember more, and actually enjoy learning.

  • Read without interruption: Translations of the most difficult words are found in the margin of each page — you don't have to break away from the story to look them up in a dictionary.
  • Consolidate what you've read: After each chapter, exercises (crosswords, gap-fills, anagrams) tailored to the A1 level await — new words stick in your mind.
  • Learn anywhere: A mobile app with games allows you to review vocabulary on your way to work, in line, or wherever you have a moment.
  • Build lasting vocabulary: Flashcards at the end of the book allow you to systematically review the most important words — so you don't forget what you've learned.

Matched to your exact level

The vocabulary in this book has been selected based on an analysis of 2 billion words from authentic texts, precisely matched to the A1 level. You learn exactly the words that are most useful in everyday life.

About Hawaiian (the language of this book)

Where Hawaiian is spoken

Hawaiian (ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi) is a Polynesian language of the Austronesian family and, alongside English, an official language of the U.S. state of Hawaiʻi. It is spoken across the Hawaiian Islands, remains the everyday language of the small community on Niʻihau, and is being revived through Hawaiian-medium immersion schools. Its closest relatives are Marquesan, Tahitian and Māori.

How many people speak it

Roughly 18,000–24,000 people report speaking Hawaiian at home in U.S. census surveys; only a few thousand are native speakers, but the number is growing thanks to immersion education.

Grammar and structure

Hawaiian is largely analytic: verbs do not change for person, number or tense, and time and aspect are shown by particles placed around the verb (ua, ke … nei, e … ana). The basic word order is verb–subject–object. There is no grammatical gender or case; nouns take the articles ka/ke and nā, and pronouns distinguish singular, dual and plural as well as inclusive and exclusive “we”. Possession falls into two classes (a and o). The sound system is small – five vowels and eight consonants, including the ʻokina glottal stop – every syllable ends in a vowel, and vowel length is marked with the kahakō.
