(from the preface) This book is not "Pontic without a teacher." It is a basic tool for its teaching.

This means that the role of educators who will teach it will also be significant, as we will not have a simple teaching of some grammatical or linguistic data.

Our aspiration is to pass on to future generations the wealth of traditions, ideas, and values that have been handed down to us; to highlight the spirit of those wonderful people, who, hundreds of kilometers away from the Greek territory, isolated for centuries among the impenetrable Pontic mountains and the Black Sea, kept the spirit and essence of Hellenism alive by creating marvelous works.

We believe that this spirit and this system of ideas and values can give new impetus to Greek society, to move more securely towards the future.
