Bulgarian Language books - 4

[Dave]

Recommended by the regulars on the "Bulgarian Learner" email group as the definitive BG textbook, it comes in 2 parts. It "does what it says on the tin". Intensive stuff. But in small and unrelated chunks. Or if there is a logic to the the order of presentation it escapes me. The CD's are apparently highly-recommended too, so I tried to buy them - only available direct from the USA, postage is daft and you need a dollar cheque (bank charges cost more than the CDs so forget it!). Despite its subtitle it is still difficult to use it as a reference book. Yes it is US-biased too. It has stress-marks for pronunciation and doesn't use the evil handwriting font. No answers to the exercises. Cultural commentaries on BG life are sprinkled in each chapter.

Anne and I are working through this every friday.
