When the the word/phrase is spoken in bulgarian the second time, it is spoken to fast, the second time should be a bit slower, to help with pronunciation.
By Shantel December 11, 2009 - 8:10 pm
Thank you so much I really learned a lot. Now I have things I can say to my husband. =)
By Michel December 14, 2009 - 2:22 pm
Michael and Shantel, thank you very much for your feedback!
That’s defenitly a point we are going to improve, that the repetition of the word will be slower. So everyone can understand how the word is formed.

Thank you so much for yr nice vocabulary. I learned a lot from it. It will help me a lot when I visit Bulgaria in near future.
By Johnda April 23, 2010 - 8:43 am
I just needed to say thank you very much for offering this course. It helps me pracitce when I am apart from my BG boyfriend.
By Norman June 9, 2010 - 9:14 am
Whilst listening to the video I find the background music distracting to the talking, do you need it?
Also the way that the small words roll into one, would it possible to repeat a third time? Only slower to understand the breakdown.
Because the sound does not sound like the words I am wreading.
It is still a good course though.
By CHARLES HEDGES June 22, 2010 - 1:06 pm
GOOD PROGRAM BUT BULGARIAN PRONOUNCIATION IS TOO FAST.
By 7ANN June 28, 2010 - 2:34 pm
Hi, this website is very nice. It really helps me to learn Bulgarian. I made some memorycards with the Bulgarian word or sentence on the first side and Dutch (you can also write English) on the other side. This in combination with your pronouncuation is very nice.
I really like this site!
Този сайт е много добър
And for people who need more words in Bulgarian http://translate.google.com/# is really helpful.

I sent you guys this message on your youtube account, but just in case you don’t get a chance to read it, I figured I’d write it here aswell.
In your video on relationship vocabulary, you had a phrase that meant ‘you are always in my thoughts.’ Well, I had a question about that phrase. For the “Veenagee see v meesleete mee” (You are always in my thoughts), would that phrase make complete sense no matter who was saying it (male or famale)? And would it make sense in the situation of losing a boyfriend or girlfriend? As in after a break-up?
I ask because I just lost an amazing guy who happened to be Bulgarian. He was the first guy to ever make me feel beautiful, the first guy to ever want to have a real future with me, the first guy who cared for me just the way I was, the first guy who didn’t try to change me at all. I lost him because of my own stupidity, and I’ve been thinking of getting a tattoo about him. At first, I wanted to get ‘I love you’ in Bulgarian, but then I came across this phrase ‘Veenagee see v meesleete mee’ and I thought it fit my feelings for him much better. So I wanted to know if the form of the phrase was correct for my situation. I don’t know much about the Bulgarian language. I don’t know about the grammar structure or anything else, but this is something that I really want to do. The last thing I would want is a typo in my tattoo. :/
Thank you very much!

Hello Darina, I do not know how you positioned the microphone but the male voice is coming through much clearer than the female. Google Translate are beginning to get it right although rammatically the translations leave a lot to desire. Ideally, a conversation in text will have the voice background and repeating the phrases. The learner should be able to listen and read this several times and that will be the lesson that he can print and store for future reference. I suggest that each phrase is spoken and repeated po bavno. Hope that helps. Eventually what would be ideal is for me to speak the words and phrases through my speech rcognition system and like they teach deaf children for those sound to fit into a pattern on the screen. The deaf child knows when the pronounciation is correct when his voice pattern fits exactly with the correct one. Remember although you are both speaking clearly (but possibly too fast) you are both speaking with an accent. I remember meeting a Bulgarian who spoke perfect English but with a Scottish accent and another who spoke with anAmerican accent because their teachers had been Scottish and American respectively. Here listening to a Bulgarian Plovdiv speaker and another from, say Lovech, even though I do not understand everything that is said, I can detect the different dialects. Hope this is helpful and not taken as a criticism.

This site is fantastic.We do not find so many possibilities in Belgium to learn Bulgarian language. I expect impatiently to receive more lessons like this. Thanks a lot. Elisabeth from Belgium
By Rosana Moreno Lax October 24, 2010 - 2:13 pm
Great!! thanks a lot!!! Im really learning easily and fast with your material. Unfortunately, in Spain there is no Bulgarian language schools
best wishes and thanks again

First, I’m learning to read the Cyrillic. It’s distracting to have the Cyrillic SMALLER than the other text.
I’d like to see it the same size, and more space between the lines separating the text from the translation.
It might be easier to read on a tan rather than white background.
Also, the guitar music is pleasant, but too loud.
The audio on the Bulgarian speaker is a bit muddy.
But thanks, I’ll use this for study.

@ Michael and Norman you need to hear the words ‘rushed’ as Bulgarians speak fast. Nobody understands me when I speak slowly and separate the words.
Try the English ” A nice cream” and “An ice cream” it is just context that tells us which is which.
I live in BG and am learning the language. I know all the main words here but the little words that make the difference between a ‘Foreigner’ speaking and a ‘Local’, are what I need and the speed is what you need as well.
Most helpful site Michel and Darina
By Ben March 25, 2012 - 6:05 pm
Thank you for this video! Do you have another video with the phrases spoken slower? That would help me very much. Thank you for your effort.
