COURSE IN BULGARIAN LANGUAGE
BEGINNERS
SYLLABUS
You will be introduced to Bulgarian language carefully having into consideration the difficulties of Slavonic languages. Bulgarian language is the oldest Slavonic language.
The course may be conducted on-line in 20 lessons. We will send learning materials to you on e-mail and you will have your lessons by Skype. You will have direct contact with your teacher and a lot of time for self-training.
We will start with the Cyrillic alphabet, following reading and speaking.
In an intensive course, you will pass through the grammar of Bulgarian language, so as to have general idea on all difficulties, come mainly in gender of nouns and inflexion of verbs
However, Bulgarian language is the only Slavonic language which has thrown off the restrictions of grammatical cases. Like English language, it does not tolerate complicated sentence structures.
Personal and possessive pronouns are very important and their introduction will allow you to establish your new relationships.
The most frequently used verbal form for communication is Present tense and it will promote you to ask questions with the help of interrogative pronouns. Then past and future tenses follow.
And, of course, the definite articles, which unlike English language, are different for different genders of nouns and are to be placed at the end of the word.
You should be very persistent after taking this first course, as Bulgarian language is a very old language and is supposed to be a very rich and complex language.
