Bulgarian for Beginners

This course is designed for those who have never learned Bulgarian but wish to communicate with Bulgarian friends, relatives, or people encountered while on vacation in Bulgaria. You will become familiar with the Cyrillic alphabet, used by approximately 250 million people in about 50 languages worldwide.

The course will equip you with skills to converse in Bulgarian on everyday topics such as travel, hobbies, family, food, clothing, colors, numbers, and more. Additionally, you will gain insights into Bulgarian culture, customs, and celebrations.

A basic understanding of grammatical terms (from your own language or from another second language) can be useful as we will look into grammar, too. Topics covered include personal pronouns, grammatical genders and numbers of nouns and adjectives, definite and indefinite articles, present tense, question words, and more.

The course is conducted in English.
