Our podcast is the perfect tool for you. Studies show that the key to mastering a second language is through repetition and active processing. That's why each episode of our podcast features a story in Bulgarian, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Bulgarian and English. This approach not only allows you to fully understand and absorb the vocabulary and grammar but also provides a bilingual support to aid your listening comprehension. But we don't stop there. Research in sociolinguistics highlights the importance of culture in language learning, which is why we provide a list of vocabulary words and a transcript of the audio to help you understand the cultural context of the story. And for your convenience, we also include a transcript of the audio to help you refer back to any parts you may have struggled with. Our podcast is not just for language learners, it's also for travelers or people who wants to connect with their roots. Are you planning a trip to Rila Monastery, Bansko, or Veliko Tarnovo? Maybe you want to speak Bulgarian with your grandparents from Sofia?

En: Amid the green mountains of Rila, on a summer day, the students from the boarding school were preparing for an excursion to the Rilski Monastery. Bg: Ивана вървеше малко по-назад, наблюдавайки оживлението около себе си. En: Ivana was walking a little further back, observing the excitement around her. Bg: Учениците говореха и се смееха, но тя се чувстваше някак изключено. En: The students were talking and laughing, but she felt somewhat left out. Bg: Ивана беше любопитна, обичаше книгите и историите, но трудно намираше смелост да сподели това с другите. En: Ivana was curious, loved books and stories, but found it difficult to summon the courage to share this with others. Bg: Щом автобусът спря пред манастира, групата се стече към входа. En: As the bus stopped in front of the monastery, the group flowed towards the entrance. Bg: Ивана се загуби сред тълпата, но не се притесни.
