Introduction
Within the next weeks (or months) we're going to read "Маленький Принц".
How to work with this course?
Buy an e-book "Маленький Принц" in the translation by Petro Taraschchuk (Петро Таращук).
Start with "Маленький Принц, глава 1". Go lesson by lesson.
In discussions before and after reading, answer the questions in writing in the comments below the lesson, or record an audio and share the link. Do it if you want to get teacher's correction. Of course, you are free to omit this step but I wouldn't recommend doing so, because when you answer the questions, it activates your passive vocabulary and grammar.
Always work with the words in the lesson "Learn the vocabulary". Look up the words (use this dictionary), write them down, mark what part of speech it is, write the sentences/phrases with this word. Note down special grammar forms, use this dictionary for that. Then go to Quizlet and practice them.
It's good if you listen to an audiobook and try to read after the narrator. It improves your pronunciation and speaking (yes, reading aloud does improve our speaking!). However, don't forget that you may come across a different translation with slight variations of the words. Try this one (but that's a different translation – by Анатолій Жаловський). Use this app to see the subtitles.

In the comments under each lesson, feel free to ask any question concerning the text.
Off we go!
