Bulgarians

In this course,

have used English

Bulgarian.

This results

in some

letter combinations

that

are unusual

for the English eye. So, when following

the written

dialogues

in the

booklet,

concentrate

on listening

to and imitating

the authentic

sound

of spoken

Bulgarian

on the recordings.
