The book is intended for those studying Belarusian as a foreign language at beginner and intermediate levels (A1—B1), as reported by the official page of the Department of Belarusian Studies at the University of Warsaw.
Its author is the well-known linguist and university lecturer Volha Tratsiuk. She is known in the Belarusian diaspora as an active popularizer of her native language: since 2019, Volha has been the initiator and organizer of the international "Belarusian Dictation" campaign in Warsaw, held on Native Language Day.
The researcher is also a member of the Commission for the Certification of Belarusian Language Proficiency and the Main Committee of the Belarusian Language Olympiad in Poland.

The new comprehensive edition has 330 pages, containing 150 exercises and 50 texts for reading. As noted by the department, the tasks are designed to gradually and systematically develop language competencies: from understanding written text to expanding vocabulary and working on grammar.
An important feature of the manual is its versatility. It is suitable for both working with a teacher and for self-study, as it includes an answer key for self-assessment.
The publication was funded by the Didactic Excellence Fund of the Faculty of Applied Linguistics at the University of Warsaw.
