I purchased volumes 1 and 2, both volumes are clear and concise, and take you from the introduction of the Cyrillic alphabet onwards. If the audio CD's were as easy to get hold of, then they would be the first choice for anyone wishing to study Bulgarian, I am still trying to get hold of them!

Excellent book to learn Bulgarian
23 Sep 2002
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is an excellent aid to learn Bulgarian. However, unless you have a linguistic and/or Russian background, it will be difficult to teach yourself from this book. This book really requires a classroom environment for those not linguistically gifted. Also, the book needs tapes so that one could hear the pronunciation. Answer keys to the exercises also would help. Overall though, the grammar is well presented. The cultural notes are also very interesting and useful.

Excellent!

Format:Paperback
Outstanding book for those who want to improve their knowledge of Bulgarian (not recommended for beginners).
Each lesson features a Dialog, Basic Grammar with lots of examples, Exercises, and Additional Grammar Notes.
The Additional Grammar Notes contain a wealth of great information.

The Additional Grammar Notes contain a wealth of great information.
Each lesson concludes with Sample Sentences, Sentences for Translation, Reading Selection(s), and a Glossary.
The glossary entries point out irregular endings. All Bulgarian words are written in Cyrillic and the accent is clearly marked.
Most lessons have interesting Cultural Commentaries which provide great insight into Bulgarian culture and customs.
I didn't like the fact that there are no answers to the Exercises, but the book is so good, that this is just a minor oversight.
Great book. Highly recommended.

Easily the best system to learn Bulgarian
23 Dec 2003
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is definetly the most comprehensive and clear grammar available for the Bulgarian Grammar. It clearly delineates all the major rules and even has notes on many of the minor rules. Some of the rules I was even unaware of(I lived in Bulgaria for two years) This is a two volume set, so make sure you get both volumes. It is a tad expensive bying tswo volumes but it is a much better deal than buying any of those other books. THere is some techincal terms to learn but nothing out of the ordinary for one embarking on serious language study. If you just want a phrasebook to learn some quick words for your three days in Bulgaria then this is probably not what you are looking for. However, if you are serious about learning Bulgarian well then this is the only place to start.
