It includes 175 exercises with their solutions and is supplemented by audio material (CD mp3, 4 hours) and additional interactive e-learning exercises on the NEOHEL website (www.greekforyou.eu).

BILINGUALISM
At level A0, everything is translated. The exercise prompts, rules, texts, captions, signs, and all other cultural elements are followed by their translation, so that their content is immediately understandable and the learner is facilitated in practicing reading, writing, pronunciation, and stress, which are the main objectives of Book A0.
The material can also be taught in an intercultural classroom where each student will have the book in their reference language of choice, without the teacher needing to know any of the reference languages.
