The book consists of 16 lessons, with each lesson intended to be taught over one week. Each lesson includes texts, supplementary texts, grammar, exercises, and other content, with conversational texts forming a significant portion. Additionally, each lesson features everyday expressions and short humor to enhance the practicality and of the material. Beyond everyday vocabulary, the book also incorporates cultural and sociopolitical terms to broaden students' lexical range. In terms of grammar, the book adapts to the unique characteristics of Bulgarian and the learning patterns of Chinese students, experimenting with the timing, difficulty, quantity, and specific allocation of grammar topics within each lesson. By the end of the academic year, students will gain a basic understanding and practical ability in the main grammatical structures of Bulgarian, including tenses and syntax. The exercises primarily focus on sentence patterns, encouraging students to freely substitute learned vocabulary. A large number of exercises ensure mastery of the language phenomena and usage methods covered. The book also includes sentence composition and translation exercises, aiming to provide comprehensive training in the fundamental language skills of "listening, speaking, reading, writing, and translation." The entire book contains over 1,100 new words.
