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.

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.
