I want to read The Little Prince in English for the first time. I found translations by Katherine Woods and Richard Howard. Which version is easier for an intermediate English learner?
Alex Pham
Richard Howard's translation uses more modern English. I found it clearer when I first read the story.

Thank you. Modern wording sounds better for my first reading.

Katherine Woods has a more classic style. You could read one chapter from each version before choosing.

I also recommend Richard Howard for a learner. The sentences feel direct, but the meaning is still beautiful.
