🇧🇬Bulgaria

Learn Bulgarian with real humans

Bulgarian is spoken by 9 million people in Bulgaria and its diaspora, and it is the Slavic language that gave the world the Cyrillic alphabet, invented in the 9th century by the monks Cyril and Methodius. An official EU language, Bulgarian is the only Slavic language without nominal declensions (no grammatical cases), which makes it one of the most accessible Slavic languages. Bulgaria is also an attractive emerging market for investors, with one of the lowest tax rates in Europe (10% flat tax).

Did you know? Bulgarian is the language that gave birth to the Cyrillic alphabet: the brothers Cyril and Methodius created it in 863 AD to translate the holy scriptures. A unique quirk: in Bulgaria, nodding up and down means NO, while shaking the head side to side means YES, the opposite of most of the world. Bulgaria is the world's leading producer of rose oil (the Rose Valley supplies 70% of global rose oil). Sofia is a rapidly developing city with a growing tech and startup scene.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about learning Bulgarian

When it comes to grammatical cases, yes. Bulgarian is the only Slavic language that has dropped the case system, in much the same way French evolved away from Latin. Bulgarian grammar is therefore structurally closer to French and English than to Russian or Polish. That said, the Cyrillic alphabet and some verbal forms remain genuine challenges.
The Bulgarian Cyrillic alphabet can be learned in 1 to 2 weeks. From there, with 2 lessons per week, a conversational B1 level is achievable in 6 to 9 months. If you already have a foundation in Russian or Serbian, progress will be faster because the three languages share a substantial amount of vocabulary.
True! It is one of the most disorienting cultural quirks for foreigners. In Bulgaria, shaking your head from side to side means YES (da), while nodding up and down means NO (ne), the exact opposite of most cultures. This distinct body language is rooted in the country's Byzantine and Ottoman history.
Yes, especially for entrepreneurs and investors. Bulgaria applies a flat 10% personal and corporate income tax (the lowest in the EU). Sofia is an emerging hub for tech startups, BPO and shared-services centres. Companies such as VMware, HP and SAP have significant offices there.
Absolutely. Bulgarian is mutually intelligible with Macedonian and provides a solid foundation for understanding Serbian, Croatian and, to some extent, Russian. The Bulgarian Cyrillic alphabet is the basis of Russian and Ukrainian Cyrillic, mastering one makes the others considerably easier.

Been on Targumi for 3 months. The small group format is exactly what I needed. My teacher takes time to correct accent, it's precious. Made more progress in 3 months than in 2 years of regular apps.

What sold me is you actually speak from class one. No 10 hours of theory before opening your mouth. And the platform between classes is well-built, I revise on the morning commute.

DamienVerified purchase

Honestly I had doubts at first because I'd tried plenty of methods without sticking. This is different, the teacher knows their stuff, adapts to your level, and we have fun on top of it. 6 months in and still motivated.

Really good experience overall, the rhythm between live classes and independent practice is well-balanced. Small note: the mobile app lags sometimes, but the teaching content is well worth the price.

AntoineVerified purchase

The thing that makes a real difference compared to other platforms: teachers are native and trained. You feel it, especially on accent and everyday expressions you don't learn in textbooks.
