Intensive
Bulgarian Lessons
This course is designed for
foreigners who need to learn the lingo quickly
and can afford an intensive tuition. It is not
suitable for busy learners, since they have to
have enough free time to devote to the learning
process. "Intensive Bulgarian" course is based
on "Learn quickly Bulgarian" textbook, published
by Bogorov Publishing house.
It consists of two parts, each of them
containing a Student`s Book and a Practice Book. Presenting
in full the Bulgarian grammar, it is designed
for intensive teaching Bulgarian as a foreign
language. The first part includes grammar
material and lexis, meeting the requirements of
Level A2 of the Common European Framework. The
second part includes grammar material and lexis,
meeting the requirements of Level B2 of the
Common European Framework.
This course is designed
especially for businessmen. Although English is
the business language all over the world,
speaking the lingo is an enormous advantage. It
allows you to control the whole process of
negotiation and it`s no longer necessary to rely
on translators/interpreters. You have to bear in
mind also that it`s hard to find English
speakers in all public institutions and even in
some private banks or companies. Special
attention will be paid to all kind of documents:
contracts, forms, invoices, receipts, offers
etc. This course will prepare you for the driver
license test or for the Bulgarian citizenship
exam. "Business Bulgarian" course is based on "Bulgarian
for business
partners" textbook, published by Sema RSh
Publishing house.

Colloquial
Bulgarian Course
This course is designed for
foreigners who are interested in conversational
Bulgarian. It will be very useful for those,
engaged to a Bulgarian partner or/and own
properties in small towns or villages where
people don`t speak English. We know how
difficult is to get by if you can`t speak with
the neighbours or order a meal in the
restaurant. This course is based on "Bulgarian for Foreigners.
Communicative course" textbook, published
by Bogorov Publishing house.
It includes the most typical structures in the
Bulgarian language, which are most usable in the
speech. The content covers all the Levels A1, A2
and B1 of the European verbal frame, as its main
task is the building of communication skills.
We also provide Bulgarian
classes over the telephone. Many foreigners own
property in small towns and villages, where ADSL
or Broadband Internet connections are not
available. Mobile phone companies do provide
Mobile Internet connection, but its quality is
too poor for Skype calls. You can get a fast
satellite Internet connection, but it still
costs a fortune. That`s why we decided to offer
Bulgarian lessons over the phone. All you need
is a landline or a Bulgarian cell phone SIM
card, hands-free earphones, a Bluetooth headset,
or speakers. Bulgarian GSM operators such as
Mtel, Globul and Vivacom offer very cheap tariff
plans between 2 SIM cards with 2000 free minutes
and 200 SMS at the average monthly fee of 6 EUR
only. It works exactly in the same way like on
Skype, since we can hear each other and have the
textbook on the desk. If you have a dial-up or a
mobile internet connection, we can also use
Skype, MSN, Google Talk, Yahoo IM, and ICQ for
exchanging messages. The first telephone lesson
is always free of charge! No matter where you
live in Bulgaria, now you can study Bulgarian
with our qualified tutors by telephone.

formal and informal situations. Special
attention will be paid to the stylistic use of
the language, in order to achieve better
orientation in varied lexical situations and an
adequate use of the marked lexis. In the course
the accent will be placed on the contemporary
conversational Bulgarian, however the
possibility of familiarizing with the

attention to this component because it combines
the linguistic use for the students with the

believe that presenting examples of Bulgarian
art in all genres will enrich the culture and
will expand the horizons of the students. We can
proudly present unique cultural examples that
not only possess exceptional art value but also
exemplify various aspect of the Bulgarian
society. For that purpose we will be using
miscellaneous and accessible resources at the

museums, sites dedicated to the folklore art,
modern music, movies etc. /Translated in English
