Although it is especially recommended for beginners of the language and those at the intermediate level, people who already have a good command of the language will also be happy with the book, thanks to the neologisms there. Indeed, to avoid borrowing word from foreign languages, the author was forced to formulate new words and expressions which make the conversation even more authentic. You will also find a list of some other useful and recommended books for learning the Fè'éfě'è (Nùfī) language at the end of the book.
