I read it in French 4 in high school. It is my favorite book in the world. I became a French teacher through the influence of my marvelous high school French teacher, Mlle Schreibstein and taught for 25 years. Le Petit Prince and the Fables of La Fontaine were just a few of the gems she shared. I TAUGHT from the notes I took in her class!

It’s my favorite book. My mom read it to me in Spanish when I was a child in Argentina, then I read it in English when I moved to the US and learned the language, and now I read it in French. I think apprivoiser in English is to domesticate, by the way. Merci mille fois, j’adore ce livre et j’adore vos vidéos ! 🫅🦊🌹✈️
I read it in Korean, English, and Spanish. Now I will try to read it in French. My favorite book.
Le Petit Prince......I have such fond memories of this story. It was one of my mother's favorite stories. I ry to find everything related to the story, articles, videos, the book in english, french and italian........just such an amazing, amazing storyline.
It was my fave book growing up. It made me very emotional.
it made me very emotional too❤
J’ai eu ce livre depuis j’étais à l’université. C’est merveilleux.
I love that book. It made me cry in English and now in French!
Thank-you for this very helpful video 😊
oooh❤ Le petite prince was one of the first books I was given as a gift. Little did I know back then how profound it could get!
Interestingly the first time I was exposed to this book was in high school German class. I first read it in German.
I’ve seen various versions, most notably the English language film with Bob Fosse himself as the snake.
Now I think I’m ready for the VF…hearing the passage about the wheat fields almost brought me to tears hearing it in French for the first time more than 40 years after high school…
You capture the attention of people with the way that you talk. I like that because it makes concentration easier. Well done for explanation and for your engaging way of talking!!!
Thank you so much for sharing..French is so Beautiful..its like music to me.. God bless you my dear,im so happy i found your channel💙☮💐♥
Super, très bien expliqué! ... as always!
Wonderful! More videos on French literature, please!
Waouh quel immense plaisir de te revoir. Il se trouve que je perfectionne actuellement mon anglais et que tu m'as donné l'envie de relire Le petit prince mais cette fois-ci in english. Merci pour cette superbe vidéo et leçon. 😊
One of my favorite books! I already own a few copies and recently bought a beautiful French edition with the pop up 3D illustrations 🥰 merci, chère Géraldine, pour ce vidéo!
I just found this video. I LOVE "The Little Prince" story.
6:23 Omg Mylène 😍!
The Queen of French Pop !
In my top three books . Merci a vous . L gooru
Moi aussi, je salue mon professeur ancien en Allemagne!
My 2 teens are learning French and I would love to know about more books that French high school students are required to read. I'd like to see it incorporated into their lessons.
It will most likely be included n the curriculum, down the line
I can't really say about french highschool now, being 36 but we used to learn some very hard books,from Molière to Baudelaire.
My option try some bandes dessinées ( comics). Cheers et bon courage.
When I was in high school (I am 24 now), we read Le Comte de Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas and Le Petit Prince, we were also encourage to find our own books/tv shows/movies/audiobooks to help our French. My teacher recommend if there is a book you've read in English that you love, try finding that book in French.
What a beautifully put together and thoughtful video lesson. Thank you Géraldine!
Bonjour Géraldine,
Merci pour cette émission. Le Petit Prince faisait partie de m'aventure française. Peut-être, une traduction différente pour le verbe "apprivoiser" dans cette situation, est "to win over", ou même, "to become accustomed to", ou (en particulier) c'est possible d'utiliser l'adjectif "simpatico", qui est arrivé dans la langue anglaise d'Italienne.
Amitiés, Dennis
Thanks Géraldine!
Wonderful video, thank you!
This is great! I just recently bought the book!
Super video. Je veux lire le Petit Prince
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I feel so much more knowledgeable. Thank you. I cry even as you mention Le Petit Prince.
J'adore Le Petit Prince! X
Wow. Thanks so much. Time to fill a gap in my education.
Quelle bonne idée cette vidéo!
Thank you so much for sharing this book! I've heard about it and have a copy on my shelf, but never was able to understand why it is so popular... I will go and read it again with a fresh perspective! If you have other French children's literature, can you recommend some as well?
Thankyou for your videos. If i may make one suggestion. Maybe make it obvious this video is about a specific french book and not general "must know vocabulary'. Im pretty sure half the people here misunderstood the video title. Also may i suggest you check your pronounciation of the word "vocabulary". merci pour les videos
Ce leçon est tellement intéressant !
Hello, Thank you for this lesson. You learn how to pronounce some words, but I think you forgot to learn the correct pronounciation of "Le Petit Prince"... Very cute the reference to my favorite singer Mylene Farmer! A bientôt.
I saw the movie when it came out in 2015...je l'ai aimé!
⚘️Merci! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Reading it en Français at the moment. Thanks.
It's intermediate level or higher, French.
Where can I find this version of the movie?
I had a French teacher who pronounced "yeux" as "oeil". (When she was reading aloud from a text, she would pronounce "les yeux" as "les oeils". In fact, it may have been when we were reading Le Petit Prince.) Is that common among native French speakers?
Quand j'étais petit je n'étais pas grand et souvent dans le trouble à cause de mon vocabulaire.
Le Petit Prince
Sounds wonderful. Will try to get this for my daughters. Surprised that this story with a non-color non-female is promoted in any ways nowadays. Maybe there’s hope.
Because this novel that was written as a fairy tale reflected a lot of mordern moral problems
Avant story.
I've always felt "apprivoiser" would be better translated as "to befriend".
The fox bit always reminds me of that scene from French comedy movie "Les 3 frères" : czcams.com/video/pATBmfHW-s8/video.html
Great. Pax Christi. (Some) Le Petit's lessons (esp.14:00"On ne voit bien..." must be made a part of the Bible like Aristotle's, K.Godel or A.Tarski's theorems (they are too abstract for this dumb generation). By analogy: A.D.Sertilanges, The Intellectual Life/La Vie Intellectuelle, AD 1920, Eng.1934 - has some unique spiritual advice like Thomas a Kempis, The Imitation of Christ, 15th cent.CE.(not known to Ph.D.'s fools yet)- but it is difficult to read all in the original language but it inspires to learn it like Greek or Hebrew to know better Bible or any Aristotle's text.
Why want to know Latin or Greek to read the Bible as it's already in English?
Why do you speak so much English? sorry otherwise i like your videos
I’m currently trying to learn French by listening and reading this book. Wish me success🥲
