Challenges of the Bulgarian Language


Some of you may be wondering what it is like to study the Bulgarian language. Difficult is an understatement!


Let’s start with the Cyrillic alphabet.: cyrillic X is equivalent to H in Roman alphabet; m is T; B is V; C is S; g is d; Are you following this?


And then of course…to confuse you even more…there’s a few inverted roman look-a-like alphabets to consider! Such as: R facing backwards; N that is up-side-down; W that comes with a tiny tail?!


After a year we discovered that there actually is a pattern to Bulgarian verb formation but most verbs have two forms and the tenses do not strictly match the English tenses. Don't even get me started with prepositions!!!!!!!!!!!
