So, I have engaged a tutor for a couple of one-hour lessons per week. I want to learn to speak Bulgarian, I want to be comfortable with the language.
A friend of a friend knew someone, she runs (owns) the British Cultural Center here in Burgas. It’s primarily an English-language school for Bulgarian children, but she has found time for me and I’m grateful for that.
We walked to a local bookstore, she picked out a couple of books for me of which she approved, and today was our first lesson. So here I am, a 50-year-old man trying to learn a new language, one for which I have no background at all. I can speak a little Spanish, a little French, a tiny bit of Turkish, but none of these languages share any roots with a slavonic language like Bulgarian.
Ahh, we’ll see. She is good, she knows her business.
