I am Bulgarian and have been teaching the language to my husband who is American. It was challanging to find a book that was comprehensive and clear in its explanations and examples.

This book is a wonderful resource, especially if you have an instuctor familiar with the language. This book can make you an effective communicator in Bulgarian. However, if you are going on a short trip to Bulgaria and you want only basic vocabulary knowledge this book is going to be too complicated for you.

You may want to note there are two volumes of this book sold separately.

Great.Great.Great. Amazing learning material. I'm a linguist myself. You will not be disappointed. Get those books, put some afforts to it, and pretty soon you will know Bulgarian. Don't forget to get couple bulgarian friends to practise with :) Learning new language is so much fun!!!

I am an American who lived in Bulgaria for two years all over the country. I learned Bulgarian fairly rigorously. I liked this book because it helped teach me some of the intricacies of Bulgarian through studying the dialogues which are very good. The book also gives fairly good explanations of grammar rules.

The book could have been organized better. Some of the phrases used in the book were either really old phrases or phrases that were hardly ever used. I would sometimes learn certain phrases and Bulgarians would tell me that they had never heard that phrase before.

All and all probably the best book out there for a more advanced study of Bulgaria.
