4.0 out of 5 stars Teach Yourself Bulgarian, Holman,M. and Kovatcheva,M., 9 Sep 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Bulgarian (Teach Yourself Languages) (Audio Cassette)
This book takes you from the absolute basics of pronunciation and reading the Cyrillic alphabet up to the grammatical information you'll need to be able to communicate effectively. There are plenty of chances to practice written and oral skills as you go along, especially if you buy the accompanying tape, which I would definitely recommend. Grammatical points seem to be presented in a non-daunting way on a need-to-know basis, but some could do with a bit more fleshing out. Also, a few more listening exercises would be useful. Overall, an excellent, well-structured place to start your Bulgarian learning.

4.0 out of 5 stars You won't learn Bulgarian in 5 minutes, but if you're serious this can be a useful book, 13 Dec 2006
By Mr. Timothy Morris "Tim Morris" (Sutton Coldfield, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Bulgarian (TY Complete Courses) (Paperback)
The initial reaction to this self-study course is that it is far too advanced for the beginner. It starts quite simply, then and appears to race off into the distance. But learning a new language is never easy, and for a retired person the learning process becomes ever that much slower!

However, if you're serious about learning the language and you are willing to persevere you can eventually make real and satisfying progress. Most of the information you need is in this book, though it does help to have alternative texts available to stretch the vocabulary a little - and, of course, a good dictionary. (This latter not so easy to find!)

The CD's are a real help and whilst each new lesson at first sounds totally incomprehensible, you find that as you progress you can return to earlier tracks and pleasantly surprise yourself that you are now understanding spoken Bulgarian at a reasonable speed. Without the CD's, the course would be impossible for a beginner, and I imagine that manipulating the tape cassettes would become far too tedious to be helpful.

This course is far, far better than a number of courses I have seen published in Bulgaria!

1.0 out of 5 stars Beginners Beware!, 19 April 2006
This review is from: Bulgarian (TY Complete Courses) (Paperback)
Beginners will not be at all pleased with this book. It is far too advanced for any useful home study without a tutor. There is no easy explanation how the words are to be pronounced, and the audio tape/CD goes off far too quickly, into advanced situations (Mr Businessman ordering a hotel room etc.) Yoghurt is in its dictionery, but not cat, dog, or face.

You cannot even find simple words like numbers, days of the week, months etc, let alone how to pronounce them. There is no Phonetic representation how the words are said.

I have studied languages for 50 years and this is the worst language tutor book I have ever read. I may be able to find a Bulgarian teacher who can make use of it, but as a self-study book, AVOID this one!
