Once of the big problems you may find in Bulgaria, is speaking.
You need to know the basics, but if your renovating a house then its more important. You cannot rely on good translate, because it cannot hear well enough to translate what people say.
I wrote and produced this song to say what needed to be said. why we were there, what we planed and why.
It also says what we needed. what I did do was also write out what it says in English. That way I can learn the language, or at least learn words and saying. You will feel alone, and isolated if you cant speak, and frustrated too. the baby on the street trying to learn the language.
There is often a English person around… how much they speak the language or can help, is variable.
Pom mosh (t) – help
Kush ta – House
Nei, Gore voy ya, bull gas ski – I do not speak Bulgarian
Dobb bra day, – Good day ( good morning)
Bav kno – Slowly
Neg a tea pour ca ja – let me show you
Moi twea may – My Name is
Ass sum nar reg hen – I am called
too va eye stupen kno – this is broken
Mor ja lea toe va sep pop ra vee – Can this be fixed
Mor-vash lea, pop lar vish du va – Can you repair this
Coco – How much
Moglie day vman – Can I have
I find wrting crib sheets like this work, but you wont really learn this way …
