			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hey there!

We just launched a <strong>Bulgarian dictionary</strong> to translate words from English to Bulgarian. The translator works quite well for single words, but of course it has sometimes its problems to translate the meaning of a sentence (like every &#8220;automated translator&#8221; has). We recommend to check it out and to bookmark it in your browser, so you can access the Bulgarian dictionary at any time with a single click.

Visit the <a href="http://www.learn-bulgarian.net/english-bulgarian-dictionary/"><strong>English Bulgarian Dictionary</strong></a> now.

We plan to launch also a Bulgarian-English dictionary in future if it is desired by the users. Please write a comment if you are interested in this feature or if you have any other feedback for the Bulgarian dictionary.

By the way, if you are not yet able to read the Cyrillic alphabet, then sign up on the right side to receive our study materials and the notification of our course, where you will learn the Bulgarian alphabet easily.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<strong>How to say <em>hello in Bulgarian</em>?</strong> It&#8217;s not always done with a simple word. But you can learn here within 2 minutes how to greet in Bulgarian.

If you talk to a single person, whom you know very well, you say &#8220;zdrasti&#8221; or &#8220;zdravey&#8221; and if you talk to a group of friends you say just &#8220;zdraveyte&#8221;.

There is a difference if you say hello to someone, whom you don&#8217;t really know yet. Then you greet according to the daytime. In the morning you would say &#8220;dobro utro&#8221;, during the day &#8220;dobar den&#8221; and at evening you greet this person with &#8220;dobar vecher&#8221;.

Watch the following video, which will show you how to pronounce the words correctly.

<strong>Hello in Bulgarian</strong>:

<object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FR4IdKIAfpE&#038;hl=de&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FR4IdKIAfpE&#038;hl=de&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object>

		<description><![CDATA[Learn the Bulgarian numbers in no time. Be able to count from 0-20 in Bulgarian, in this post you'll find the video.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[We are happy to announce that we have launched a video which will help you learn to count in Bulgarian. The video contains the numbers from 0 to 20.

As in most European languages, the Bulgarian numbers from 0 to 12 are unique and has to be remembered. All the numbers up to 20 can be formed from them by adding a suffix. You can see the logic in the formation of all numbers in our free PDF, which you can recieve by using the form on the right side. However, in the video you can hear clearly the pronounciation of the numbers and learn them more easily.

Here is the video with the <strong>Bulgarian numbers</strong>:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="295" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aivy2chO3qc&amp;hl=de&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="295" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aivy2chO3qc&amp;hl=de&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

Note that the red letters in the video show where you have to stress the word, but anyway, you will hear this as well.

Did you find our video helpful? Please, feel free to leave a comment with your opinion.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<strong>Update</strong>: We just launched a video with <a href="http://www.learn-bulgarian.net/blog/bulgarian-relationship-vocabulary/"><strong>Bulgarian relationship vocabulary</strong></a>.

Let&#8217;s start with the main love phrase:

<strong>I love you!</strong>
Обичам те!
<em>Obeecham te!</em>

Then&#8230;

<strong>I like you!</strong>
Харесвам те!
<em>Haresvam te!</em>

<strong>I really like you.</strong>
Наистина те харесвам.
<em>Naeestina te haresvam.</em>

<strong>I miss you.</strong>
Липсваш ми.
<em>Lipsvash mi.</em>

<strong>Kiss me.</strong>
Целуни ме.
<em>Tselunee me</em>

<strong>May I kiss you?</strong>
Мога ли да те целуна?
<em>Moga lee da te tseluna?</em>

<strong>You are beautiful (to a woman).</strong>
Красива си.
<em>Kraseeva si.</em>

<strong>You are handsome (to a man) </strong>
Красив си.
<em>Kraseev si.</em>

&#8230;and a bit stronger:

<strong>Will you marry me (to a woman)?</strong>
Ще се омъжиш ли за мен?
<em>Shte se omuhzhish li za men?</em>

<strong>Will you marry me (to a man)?</strong>
Ще се ожениш ли за мен?
<em>Shte se izhenish li za men?</em>

I hope that list of basic love phrases in Bulgarian was useful to you!]]></content:encoded>

<strong>&#8220;The Mistery of Bulgarian Voices&#8221;</strong> is not a name given by chance. The video above shows the most cherished Bulgarian song and singer &#8211; <strong>Izlel e Delio Haidutin</strong> by <strong>Valya Balkanska</strong>. This song has been chosen to be a part of the Voyager Golden Record selection of music included in the two Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977. Most Bulgarians are quite proud of that <img src='http://www.learn-bulgarian.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> 



<blockquote><strong><em>Traveller hint</em></strong>: If you like digging in the culture of the country you are visiting, and you like virgin forests and restful vacations you should go to the village of <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&#038;source=s_q&#038;hl=en&#038;geocode=&#038;q=gela,+bulgaria&#038;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&#038;sspn=33.160552,79.101563&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;ll=41.64553,24.572854&#038;spn=0.015265,0.038624&#038;t=p&#038;z=15&#038;iwloc=A" target="_blank">Gela</a>. It is very small, but has the biggest folklore school for singing Bulgarian traditional music. Also, the nature is stunning and it is a great and quiet place to rest.</blockquote>



The Bulgarian traditional music varies a bit in the different parts of the country. The presented song is typical one for the Rodopi mount region. The distinctive regions are Dobrudzha, Sofia, Rodopi, Macedonia, Thrace and the Danube shore.
