Bulgaria in the life of Russians
Every year Bulgaria becomes more and more popular holiday destination for our fellow citizens. Guests from snow-covered Russia are always welcome here: at their service are the snow-white beaches of the Black Sea, the hot southern sun, the healing air of the highlands, and mineral springs hiding in shady groves. It is not for nothing that Bulgaria is one of the most popular tourist destinations among Russians.
On average, up to 700,000 Russians visit this sunny Balkan republic every year. Most of our tourists come here in June - July: up to 150 - 170 thousand people monthly. However, our compatriots go to Bulgaria not only for summer experiences. In the last five years alone, almost 5.5 thousand Russians have received Bulgarian citizenship.
Russians have no less reasons for emigration to Bulgaria than reasons for seasonal holidays. First, Bulgaria has been a member of the European Union for ten years now. And this means that, having received Bulgarian citizenship, a Russian can move freely throughout the EU, gets the right to live and work in any country of the European Union. In addition, a newly minted citizen of the Balkan Republic receives many other preferences that equalize his rights and opportunities with the native inhabitants of Europe.
Of particular note is the benevolence of the Bulgarians towards the Russians. These two nations have been linked by centuries of good neighborly relations. But, if a tourist, when communicating with local residents, can still somehow manage with the Russian language, then for a person who wants to settle in this country seriously and for a long time, knowledge of the Bulgarian language is simply necessary. However, for a tourist who travels to this amazing southern country to get to know it better, to get acquainted with its traditions and customs, to communicate with its inhabitants, the ability to speak Bulgarian will also not be superfluous.
Bulgarian language: history and modernity
Linguistically, the Bulgarian language belongs to the southern, Balkan, subgroup of Slavic languages. Historically, this language is considered the first Slavic language to have its own written language. According to legend, Saints Cyril and Methodius in 862 created the first Slavic alphabet in Bulgaria, translating the Gospel into the ancient Bulgarian language. This is indirectly confirmed by interesting fact that the closest to modern Bulgarian of all Slavic languages is the so-called "Church Slavonic" - the one in which church books are still published and prayers are read in Orthodox churches.
Today Bulgarian is spoken by about 10 million people, mostly in the Republic of Bulgaria. Due to the fact that the majority of native speakers live compactly in one country, it is quite uncommon in the world. Especially when compared with such European languages as English, French, Spanish, which have a worldwide distribution. But despite this, there are communities that speak Bulgarian in many European countries. They are most numerous in neighboring Romania, Serbia, and Ukraine. By the way, Bulgarian linguists officially consider the Macedonian language to be one of the dialects of Bulgarian.
Bulgarian language: tutorial online
That is why today it is quite difficult to find specialized literature for learning the Bulgarian language on your own. It is no less difficult to get a language course or find a tutor. This is especially problematic for residents of the Russian province, which is remote from major scientific and cultural centers of the country.
For this purpose, a self-instruction manual for the Bulgarian language was created, which we are pleased to present to your attention. With the help of the proposed tutorial, anyone can learn the Bulgarian language on their own, without resorting to expensive services of tutors or teachers of specialized courses.
Developed with the participation of experienced professionals, this online product is maximally adapted to the peculiarities of the perception of Bulgarian by a native speaker of Russian. The Bulgarian language is quite similar to Russian, the origin of many words in both languages is common. On the one hand, this facilitates the perception of words, sometimes purely on an intuitive level, and does not cause subconscious rejection, which happens when studying languages of non-Slavic groups.
But at the same time, this similarity creates a number of problems. Textbook examples - the Bulgarian word "table", translated into Russian as ... "chair". “Snack” in Bulgarian means “breakfast”, and “morning” is not morning at all, but “tomorrow”, “tomorrow”.
There are a lot of similar pitfalls caused by the common origin of the two languages. However, by carefully studying with the help of our tutorial, it is possible to overcome all difficulties and quickly learn to communicate fluently in colloquial Bulgarian.
Specially compiled lessons, a phonetic selection consisting of video clips with translation and Bulgarian songs, spelling and phonetics rules set out in an accessible way, make this Bulgarian language tutorial the most effective way learn this language close to us on our own.
Among the main tasks that this online product allows you to solve are:
- Setting the correct pronunciation.
- Knowledge adapted to the requirements of the time.
- Study of the living spoken language, without excessive static academicism.
- Emphasis on maximizing the effectiveness of each session.
With the help of the online self-study book of the Bulgarian language, you can learn it at any time convenient for you - while jogging in the morning or standing in traffic jams on the way to work, lying in bed before going to bed or at lunchtime. And the most important conditions, without which it is impossible to succeed, is to have a desire to learn a language, and strict self-discipline. Only regular daily exercises can bring the expected effect as quickly as possible.
First of all, you will need to get a good tutorial and a Bulgarian dictionary. Try to find such a self-instruction manual and textbooks, in the creation of which Bulgarian specialists took part. If audio courses are included with the textbook, make sure that the speakers are native Bulgarian speakers.
Since the number of Russian-language textbooks for the Bulgarian language is rather limited, try to collect whatever materials are available. These can be Bulgarian films or TV shows, as well as fiction. In the future, this will help you to strengthen your knowledge in practice - learn to perceive Bulgarian speech by ear, as well as train your reading and translation skills.
Try to practice every day: learn the rules, do self-study exercises, read and learn to translate. With daily practice, learning efficiency foreign language increases several times.
Features of independent study of the Bulgarian language
The basic vocabulary of the Bulgarian language is close and intuitive to a Russian speaker. In addition, Russian and Bulgarian languages have a similar structure. Therefore, from the very first lessons, it will be enough for you to simply start reading on your own, learn new words and do grammar exercises. But this simplicity is very deceptive, because for all its similarities with Russian, the Bulgarian language still has serious differences. The grammar of the Bulgarian language is fundamentally different from the grammatical foundations of the Russian language. Accordingly, in order to learn to understand Bulgarian speech and acquire the necessary skills for conversational practice, you will have to not only learn words, but also seriously work on grammar rules.
When reading and learning new Bulgarian words, always use a dictionary. The meaning of the word may seem clear to you, but it may not be the same at all. For example, the word "right" in Bulgarian means "straight".
In addition, you will have to carefully consider working on pronunciation. The Bulgarian language is distinguished by active articulation (the sounds in it are pronounced more clearly than in Russian), while the stresses in words practically do not coincide with the stresses in Russian. So in addition to text teaching materials you will definitely need audio lessons: while doing the exercises, listen carefully to the speaker and repeat after him, trying to understand the intricacies of pronunciation. By the way, in different cities of Bulgaria they speak slightly different dialects. So, in the southwestern part of the country, the Macedonian dialect is widespread, and even other Bulgarians hardly understand it.
Of course, learning to speak Bulgarian on your own with the help of textbooks and audio courses alone is almost impossible. To practice speaking skills, you will need to find native speakers with whom you can communicate via the Internet. You can meet them on specialized sites and forums dedicated to learning languages.
