Mira Kovatcheva was born in Sofia and studied English at Sofia

University, where she is now Senior Lecturer in the Department of

English Studies. Her field of research is English historical linguistics

and languages in contact. She also has a special interest in the

teaching of Bulgarian to native speakers of English. Between 1989

and 1992 she was on secondment to the universities of Leeds and

Sheffield where she taught Bulgarian to English students.

Michael Holman is of mixed English and Russian parentage and

was born in Kent, where he now lives. Between 1966 and 1999 he

lived in Yorkshire, where he was latterly Professor of Russian and

Slavonic Studies at the University of Leeds. He has taught

Bulgarian, translated from Bulgarian into English and sought to

promote Anglo-Bulgarian cultural interchange. He holds the 'Order

of Stara Planina' (First Class) and is an honorary Doctor of Letters

of Sofia University. His wife, Dorothea, without whom none of this

would have been possible, was born in Sofia of mixed Bulgarian and

Macedonian parentage.

c::

Teach Yourself Bulgarian is a complete course for beginners in

spoken and written Bulgarian. It has been designed for self-tuition,

but may also be used for study with a teacher. It aims to teach you

to understand and use the contemporary language in a variety of

typical, everyday situations. Above all it is functional, enabling

you to communicate and interact, using the language for positive,

practical purposes. Although intended primarily for people with no

knowledge of the language, you will also find it useful if you want

to brush up or extend some previous knowledge.

The course is divided into 20 carefully graded and interlocking

units. Each unit is devoted to a particular topic or situation and

each successive unit builds naturally on material covered in

previous units. In Unit 1, for example, you will learn how to

introduce yourself, to use some simple greetings and to say

'please' and 'thank you'. In Unit 2 you will discover how to ask

questions, and in Unit 3 you will learn how to answer questions

saying where you come from, what you do for a job and indicating

whether or not you are married. Unit 4 teaches you some numbers

and how to use them when telling the time.

The first half of the book, up to the end of Unit 9, is a basic

grammatical and thematic 'survival kit'. The emphasis here is on

the present tense and on immediate situations you may well fmd

yourself in on a visit to Bulgaria. Thus, Unit 5 enables you to

describe your language knowledge - or lack of it! Unit 6 deals with

wanting and asking for things and with changing money, Unit 7

with shopping, Unit 8 with eating out and Unit 9 with getting about

and both asking for and giving assistance.

From Unit 10 on you progress to less immediate, but no less

important matters. You will learn to ask about future events,

Acknowledgements

It would be impossible to thank all our relatives and friends and also

colleagues, past and present, who have helped us directly or

indirectly with this book. We would, however, like to single out for

special mention Christo Stamenov and Vladimir Filipov, both

lecturers at Sofia University, who assisted us greatly in the latter

stages of our work on the first edition. To everyone who has written

to thank us for the book and to make suggestions for its

improvement, we are grateful beyond measure. The responsibility

for outstanding imperfections in this new edition, however, remains

fmnly with us.
