English graded reader levels 1–5: Dangye English The Little Prince

Why I started studying English again

Someone who let go of English study after graduating university? Me! ^^

Honestly, not many people manage to study English on top of working, right..? ^^??? I think English is homework for life, but it is not easy to put into practice ㅠㅠ Being consistent really does not seem easy.

Doongi Mom had not studied a foreign language for well over 10 years, and when Doongi turned five, started kindergarten, and suddenly began studying English too, I realized once again how necessary English study is. Why? Because my Doongi is studying English now too ㅠㅠ

To support Doongi, Mom has to work hard too, right? So I actually took online English lectures early this year ^^ They only lasted for two determined weeks, though. Hahaha.

But! Here! I want to introduce a way to study English naturally, like water flowing, whenever and wherever I want—without being tied to a time or place ^^

Dangye English The Little Prince and its five levels

Here it is! Dangye English The Little Prince. First of all, the cover passes the test ^^ The colors are so pretty too!!

Dangye English The Little Prince has already received praise from so many readers.

A graded English reader that preserves the heart of the original

These graded English readers run from Levels 1 to 5. Dangye English Basic is under 200L; Beginner is 200L–500L; Intermediate is 500L–800L; Advanced is 800L–1100L; and Master is over 1100L. With five levels in all, it is an English original-language reader that lets you restore your confidence at Level 1, then gradually move up and raise your level too :)

55.7% of the language used on the internet is English

More than half of the information online is in English. They say Korean accounts for 0.4%.. That is far lower than I expected, so Doongi Mom was really surprised too.. Even with the K-pop, K-food, and K-drama boom, this makes it crystal clear why we cannot neglect English study. Hahaha.

Wanting to read the original to my child

There are so many different reviews. The one I related to most was from a mother who read original-language books to her fifth-grade elementary-school child and second-year middle-school child. I am going to work hard from now on and take on the challenge of mastering the original The Little Prince too. When Doongi starts elementary school, Mom will definitely read it to you ^^

And some people wrote reviews saying the books are so beautiful that they are worth collecting—I completely agree! Haha.

How do you move from Level 1 to the original?

Helping readers read English originals without a dictionary

That is the purpose of this book, they say. Levels 1–3 were made on the basis of modern English grammar, while Levels 4 and 5 respect the English style of the 1943 first edition. So that is all the more reason to start at Level 1, right?

How each level differs

• LEVEL 1: The core of the original is reconstructed with the easiest words and sentences, using present-tense verbs.
• LEVEL 2: The verb tenses in Level 1 sentence structures are changed to tenses closer to the original.
• LEVEL 3: This level adds details to the core information and uses words and sentences one step above Level 2.
• LEVEL 4: This is the stage that helps readers naturally read the Level 5 original.
• LEVEL 5: At last, the original text. You will encounter words and idioms you have never seen before.

I think it will be quite satisfying to have fun gradually leveling up too, right?

Finding English confidence while reading Level 1

Doongi Mom, who is not close to English, is at the stage of rebuilding confidence while reading Level 1 ^^ Starting is half the battle!

As I read Dangye English The Little Prince and feel my English skills gradually leveling up, I think my confidence will really burst forth and I will be able to teach my child one more English word too ^^

Stories to discover besides The Little Prince

Besides Dangye English The Little Prince, there are The Old Man and the Sea, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, The Happy Prince, and The Little Prince: Deep Learning Vocabulary Book. Reading famous stories we already know in the original language is fun, and I think English study will feel easier and more enjoyable when you can see yourself gradually improving through the levels ^^

Doongi Mom is going to regain confidence in studying English with Dangye English The Little Prince and enjoy studying too ^ ^
