Imagine reading „Le Petit Prince” in Polish – and understanding every page

„Le Petit Prince” (in Polish: „Mały Książę”, orig. Le Petit Prince) by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry – is a complete, engaging graded reader specially adapted for 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, meets a mysterious young prince from a distant asteroid.
  • The Prince shares tales of his life on B612, his demanding rose, and his journey across planets filled with peculiar adults.
  • On Earth, a wise fox teaches him about unique connections, helping him understand his rose and decide to return home.

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, there are exercises (crosswords, gap-fills, anagrams) adapted to A1 level – new words stick in your mind.
  • Learn anywhere: A mobile app with games allows you to review vocabulary on your way to work, in a queue, or whenever 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.

About Polish (the language of this book)

Where Polish is spoken

Polish is the official language of Poland and a recognized minority language in several neighbouring states. Large Polish-speaking communities exist in the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States, and Canada.

How many people speak it

Polish has about 40 million native speakers, mainly in Poland, plus several million more in diaspora communities across Europe and North America.

Grammar and structure

Polish is a West Slavic language with free word order but a default SVO pattern. It has three grammatical genders (masculine, feminine, neuter), seven cases for nouns and adjectives, and aspectual pairs of verbs (perfective vs. imperfective). Consonant clusters and nasal vowels are distinctive; palatalization plays an important role in inflection.
