Hello everybody,
is there anybody who knows some Bulgarian (crash) course to follow for 2 - 3 weeks in Sofia or Varna? Of course I could look for myself but I am trying to have some reliable feedback as I am looking for something serious and realiable.
I was put in contact with a Bulgarian teacher here in Brussels, but she never got back to me so I guess she is overburden.

I was put in contact with a Bulgarian teacher here in Brussels, but she never got back to me so I guess she is overburden.
Also, is there a recent Bulgarian grammar? When I say recent I am talking about the 80's maybe, as I only found text books dating back to the 60's or worse.
Thank you so much in advance to those who will spend their time to try and help : )

| Bulgarian grammar for foreigners | Jan 27, 2008 |
Hi Barbara!
There are Bulgarian grammars published in the last ten years. Most of them are adapted for the English speaking learner. What in particular are you interested in? I guess most of them can be found on the on-line bookstores. This autumn I saw a very nice concise Bulgarian phrase book and a grammar, all in one, in Holland. It was even in Dutch! It was in a small shop in a small town, so I assume that you can find it in Brussels. ... See more Hi Barbara!

As for the courses, maybe it will be more helpful for you if you get a feedback from someone that has already attended such a course. Otherwise a short Google research shows that there are a lot of training centres in Bulgaria offering courses in Bulgarian for foreigners.
Check out these websites. You may find them helpful.

TOPIC STARTER | Thank you Daniela!! | Jan 28, 2008 |
for your precious contribution! Those links are lovely. I have already contacted an university in Sofia.
One grammar on line is fantastic! I have the Assimil method but I wanted something more organized and systematic.
I wish I had cyrillic on my keyboard to thank you properly...

If you want to write in cyrillic: much easier to use than the normal bulgarian keybord you have on your PC under windows is a so called phonetic keyboard (where the letters are roughly unter the correspondent latin e.g. a = а, s = с, d=д etc.). You can download them for free from the internet, e.g.

Regarding the language course: If you are interested in a fast progress, I would take individual lessons at Sofia University (or another University offering this). There you will also find much better books for learning Bulgarian as a foreign language. I myself took a two week course (individual lessons) there before I started my studies in Veliko Tarnovo (where I continued with individual lessons parallely to my studies in interpreting).

for you kind reply.
Because I still haven't had a reply from the university I contacted, could you maybe give me some specific address or link about the course YOU followed? Is there a specific person to contact? A specific email address?
Thank you again.

I did an intensive course (individual classes) at the departement for foreign language teaching and international students at Sofia University. The link is
