Finally, I wait for it for a long time. I am a Chinese student and learned Bulgarian in Sofia university as an exchange student. The experience there, not an exaggeration, totally changed my attitude toward the life. Before I came to Bulgaria, I have great worries about the future，thinking that study and work are the most important. But Bulgaria taught me that the inner peace also matters, no matter what you have, accpet yourself first. Even I live a busy life now, I always keep in mind the life is good, when I am tired, I can find some place to have a break. Много ми липсва животът в България, и хубав ден за всички.
Yes man come chill always welcomed
As a bulgarian i can assure you, you will find "inner peace" in Bulgaria.... but not in a positive way. lmao
I want to know how the Chinese live so long And what food healthy eating .. But no one's answering me. xD
Много мило! Бъди Здрав и Успех в Живота!
@nngu Itae, Please open a tea house and sell Dim sum. I'm from England but i cannot find good Chinese food here in Bulgaria. When the Bulgarians smell the fresh tea and bamboo aroma mixing with your wonderful food, they will come for sure. I think the Bulgarian culture is a perfect match for this style of fast, healthy and social way of eating and drinking.
I've learned something from this video! ... Bulgarians have great taste in sunglasses 😎
😂
Not only believe me !
@@elkageorgieva8515 iskam da ta lubq
It's mostly because we get to see the sun here 😜
We have great taste in food too
I visited Bulgária many years ago, and i loved it! Sófia, Rila, black sea coast, etc The food is great! The people very nice! Greetings from Portugal! 💚❤️🇵🇹👍🏻🇧🇬
Portugal é um país muito lindo também, de longe o melhor país da Europa que passei a visitar! O idioma de vocês é o meu favorito idioma estrangeiro haha. Saudações da Bulgária 🇧🇬💓
@@Vrunge90 Obrigado! Saudações a Bulgária!
Thank you! Greetings back from Sofia! 🇵🇹 ❤️🇧🇬
@@Vrunge90 Здравейте, Любомир! Бих ли могъл да Ви попитам къде сте учили португалски? Май го говорите много добре предвид написаното и ще се радвам да разбера как и кога сте го учили. Поздрави!
Gross. I had a bulgarian manager and he was the worst (so angry and entitled - very racist as well). From my interactions with the few bulgarians I know this is how they are. I'd avoid such awful people.
I am just so happy to watch this episode about Bulgaria, it makes me feel so nostalgic for this old and beautiful country.
I studied here for Erasmus, and I can write a signature on every word what interviewed people told about why they love Bulgaria. I felt so well in this country, bulgarian people are so warm, so hospitable, you will never feel alone or bored, especially if you are curious and open minded for exploring bulgarian culture and everything, what is related with this country. Experience of studying and living in Bulgaria inprinted in my memory for my entire life, and even it shaped my direction and object of my academical researching object. I am so grateful for this country for what it gave to me in shaping of my personality and life.
I miss this beautiful country with beautiful, intelligent, warm people and can’t wait to come here again!
Най-добри пожелания от Литва ! ❤️🇱🇹♥️🇧🇬

@Greta Gražulytė Kaip graziai atsiliepet, taip sirdi pagloste jūsų komentaras 😍 Mano vyras bulgaras ir man paciai Bulgarija asocijuojasi su siluma, ramybe ir namais. O dar ir bulgaru kalba mokat. As irgi kalbu laisvai bulgariskai 🙂 negaliu sulaukt, kada sugrisim ten gyventi, nes man si salis yra ten kur jauciuosi namuose. Labai nedaug yra tokiu zmoniu kaip jus, labai nudziuginot. Sekmes visame kame ir linkiu, kad dar ne karta sugriztumete i Bulgarija.

Bulgarian language is the more softer, friendliest version of Slav languages. I like it.
Quite the opposite is true. Russian and Ukrainian are way softer. Just don´t watch political debates in those languages.

“American life is too artificial”. Finally, someone says it.
Artificial and inhuman. Based on money and consented slavery

Доста добре говориш български за полякиня. И съм доста изненадан честно казано, когато знам, че повечето поляци се затрудняват страшно много с българския език. :D
Само тука си леко изяла буквата "И" в думите ,,България и Германия", но все пак и ти си човек, така че няма от какво да се срамуваш. :) И ако някой ден искаш да отидеш в България, с удоволствие си добре дошла :).

Е, разбира се можеш и да се консултираш с други учители или хора, които владеят българския като първи език да ти помогнат с нещо. И е доста по-добре според мен, отколкото да си даваш парите за уроци, които няма да ти гарантират, че ще те научат на дадения език, който искаш да научиш.
Разбира се, като ходиш на уроци не ти го наливат това в главата ти с фунийка, както повечето ми учители обичаха да го говорят това, за тези ученици, които разчитаха на платените уроци по английски. :D

@@RemplacementTV That is your personal experience mate, not everybody shares that, there are many things to do, if going to the beach and pubs is all that is of interest to you, then yeah, the city will be boring. That said, if you dive into the local stuff, it'd be never boring. Also one more thing I have to say about westerner lifestyle, your parties pale in comparison to bulgarian, since the music is so mainstream and nothing you can literally break your soul dancing, so your countries are easily more boring. Enjoy your life my angry little friend. :)

My heart aches. I am Bulgarian and have lived in the States for almost 20 years. I am beyond exhausted from this harsh world of school, work, home, and bills. Have developed terrible anxiety constantly thinking about the future and my career. I cried when one of the women spoke about life in the US and how fake it is. It really, really is fake! I cannot wait until I find inner peace and my family and I move back home to my country, my friends, my family, my food, my air, my tomatoes. My heart aches so badly.
Push on! Bulgaria ain't going nowhere. Just focus on your goals and know that at the end it would be all worth it!
Bulgaria isn't going anywhere, but life is short. I live in America for 25 years now and keep putting my return to Bulgaria on the back burner and keep chasing my dreams but my best years are gone now. Just do it. If you feel in your hart that you would like to return to Bulgaria, do it now. The greed for more material things will never end.

Hello, David. Have you moved to Bulgaria?
I like how Bulgarian sounds. I have been to Bulgaria once and I loved it...
Bulgarian was my first language but now i struggle with it since ive lived in the States all my life. Hearing Bulgarian with native subtitles actually helps so much, thanks for making this video
Виждам, че в писана форма го разбирате родния си език, спрямо устно, така ли? Вие смятате ли да се връщате скоро в България?

I'm moving to Sofia in a few months, I'm kind of scared of a whole new place, but this video shows that bulgarian people are really nice people!! I'm only worried now that I might not understand the language, even though I have been studying it for almost a year!
As a Bulgarian myself I can assure you that you will receive our hospitality and help.Every bulgarian will appreciate your efforts in trying to learn our language and culture.We are on this planet to help and learn from eachother and if you dont feel confident enough in speaking bulgarian 80% of the young people know english so they will help you out. Many greetings from Sofia :)
Por su nombre deduzco que usted es hispanohablante. No se preocupe! Poco a poco irá entendiendo todo. Si yo me las apañé con el español usted también podrá. Mucho ánimo en su nueva etapa :)
Good luck to you on Bulgaria. I hope my homeland will welcome you in the same great way that Spain did for me twenty years ago 🇧🇬🇪🇸❤️
Hello! You are absolutely welcome to Bulgaria :) I can understand your fear from the new place and it is so normal :) As you can see, we Bulgarians are so hospitality people. Espesially young Bulgarians. As every country Bulgaria is not perfect also, but things are changing and slowly getting better and better :) Don't worry girl, you will explore Bulgaria and Bulgarian nation will be like your new friend. Peace and welcome! :)
If you’ve been learning bulgarian for almost a year then I assume you know the basics. That’s the hardest part. Once you come here you’re gonna improve very fast. Lot’s of people say that the best way to learn a language is to live in the country that speaks it. I hope you enjoy Sofia. It’s a fast developing city and it’s easy to get around.

I think there is hope for the future of Bulgaria and us Bulgarians because so many young people are going back home for good... Nowadays anywhere on Earth is hard work to live and survive. And yes, theEnergy in Bulgaria is wonderful
Yeah, if I were interviewed I would focus more on the good aspects too, because I don't want to talk sh*t about my home country in front of foreigners. But I am very unhappy in Bulgaria, I lived for two years in Japan and those were the best years of my life. Hopefully I'll leave Bulgaria soon. Life here is horrible and unbearable.

This is a very interesting addition. I've never heard Bulgarian before but recognized quite a few words with my rudimentary Russian lol
It's because lexical composition of modern Bulgarian is very close to Russian.
it because Bulgarian language is the father of almost all Slav languages
Same here, lol
@@Holzkissen. Yes, but not just that. The lexical composition of modern Bulgarian is indeed much closer to Russian, than, for example, the lexical composition of other South Slavic languages (Bulgarian is one of the South Slavic languages). It is historically formed. My native language is Russian, but I know Bulgarian, Serbo-Croatian, Polish, quite well; I understand and speak a little Macedonian, Slovenian, Czech, Slovak. So I have something to compare with.
Same!
I'm brazilian, I gonna do a exchange student program to Netherlands next year, but my life goal is to move to Bulgaria.
Que objetivo... extraordinário. Vamos dizer assim 😆 E então? Realizou ou ainda pretende?

I’m very happy to see that there are already such series for learning Bulgarian 😍 Our country has many opportunities and is worth a visit! 🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬
Well said! Bulgarian is a beautiful language and Bulgaria is a wonderful country! I would also like to learn Bulgarian. But for this reason I would wish to get in touch with a Native Bulgarian speaker and become friends with a Bulgarian person, so he or she can help me to speak and improve my Bulgarian even more. I hope soon I can visit Bulgaria as well.
By the way can you help me with Bulgarian? Is it possible to get in touch together? I would be really thankful.
I have watched many Easy Languages' videos to learn English and Russian and I was wondering whether there would be a Bulgarian version of the videos. So there it is. I'm so happy to see that you are adding my mother tongue, the father of the Slavic languages to the family of Easy Languages. Thank you!
I very much hope this channel continues. I have found that Bulgaria has one of the richest cultures--a lively mix of East, West, modern, and ancient. I regularly explore UA-cam to find out about traditions (e.g., Kukeri), music (especially choral or instrumental folk music). The language seems much simpler to learn than Russian, plus I've seen Russians and Bulgarians can communicate well if they listen to each other carefully; so, maybe learn Bulgarian first and then you can have easy access to the other Slavic languages.
I’m not sure which one is easier, some parts of Bulgarian are harder and some easier! Bulgarian has a lot of tenses whereas Russian does not! But Bulgarian has almost no cases so Bulgarian is easier in that regard.
Bulgarian would indeed be somewhat easier for English-speakers, as modern Bulgarian is grammatically an analytic language (like English itself), whereas all other Slavic languages are synthetic (and so was Old Bulgarian). Thus, modern Bulgarian can act as somewhat of a gateway for English-speakers to the world of the Slavic languages. But I agree - Bulgarian isn't necessarily easier. We've lost most of our cases, but our verbs' tenses can be rather challenging (as well as the gendered nouns - one of my biggest nightmares when I studied German).
By the way, in regards to our folk music, I find its various "modernization" projects quite interesting, even when it's mixed with styles I normally don't listen to. For example, the Kanatitsa album of "Ivan Shopov & Avigeya" made me really enjoy this type of ethereal electronic music, while the ethnic style of groups like Isihia, Kayno Yesno Slonce, Lot Lorien, Oratnitsa etc. has always been right up my alley.
Bulgarian and Russians can understand each other if they speak incredibly slowly and with simple words. Any detailed subject though will for sure not be understandable. Even some simple words that are the same, mean completely different things, which can and has caused some hilarious situations
I’m Russian. To be honest I understand only 5% of what they’re saying...
@@MoonSun-vk1mh Russians understand Bulgarian to a way lesser degree than Bulgarians understand Russian.
I think the reason for that is because Old Church Slavonic(medieval Bulgarian) came from here
I went to bulgaria a half year ago with my family. I will go to school here in autuumn. It is a wonderfull land, the people are very kind and the landscape is just amazing. Since the country is so small, you can go to the sea for one weekend and to to mountains the next one. The language is quite difficult to learn for a german, but the people here are helping as much as they can. I can´t say much bad things about this country. Especially the small villages caught my heart, where most people still live a very traditional life.
Welcome to the family EasyBulgarian🇧🇬
Ohhhhhhh i'm so glad there's an Easy Bulgarian now, please don't stop making videos, make more moreeeeee don't stop, we will support!!! there aren't many sources to learn this language
Are there any plans to continue the easy Bulgarian videos? That would be awesome. I'm currently trying to learn bulgarian because my grandfather is bulgarian and we will visit my family again in December. I'm sick of just understanding nothing and it's quite fun to learn actionly.

Seems to be a happy people. I love eastern Europe. Looking forward to explore more countries there!
Indeed, it's almost surprising. Especially considering our media frequently bombards us with international rankings, according to which we're usually the most pessimistic and miserable nation in the world. Of course, that might still be true and the optimism might come mostly from young, urban people who've spent some time abroad. Still, this is quite a refreshing video indeed...
I'm very glad this channel has started! I hope to visit Bulgaria in the future. Blagodarya!
Yay this makes me so happy I love languages and am part bulgarian so it's cool to see it featured
Много благодаря. Аз уча немски с Easy German и испански с Easy Spanish. Сега ще уча Български с вас.
I just moved here in sofia! so happy about that!!!!
Nice, but why here?
Я из Москвы. В моем паспорте отметки о посещении 33 стран мира. Лето провожу в Поморие. Болгария - золотая страна. На планете Земля не много осталось мест, где есть чистый воздух, чистая вода, качественная еда. Я уж не говорю о людях - очень доброжелательных, трудолюбивых, отзывчивых. Я думаю о том, что хочу жить в этой стране всегда.
Very cool! Looking forward to more episodes

❤️ I am so happy to be half Bulgarian. Thank you for the Video hopefully there will be more soon.
I am Czech currently on a vacation in Nessebar and comparing spoken Bulgarian here with the one in Sofia from the video is a real difference! It sounds to me like Greek so much. Also, I can understand it just so little. When I have read the signs here slowly, it always has seemed to me very intelligible but now I am very confused:D ..BTW, Bulgaria has got some very beautiful nature indeed!
The Eastern dialect is softer compared to the Western one, which is similar to Serbo-Croat-Bosnian for instance hence more understood by them as well or the Macedonians in particular. By Western dialect I mean all what begins with Pleven, Vidin, Vratsa down to Blagoevgrad. However, in Plovdiv they also have a different dialect but not similar to the one in Burgas. A good example in this video is the Varna dialect compared to the Sofia one, where we hear this softer Varna typical accent. e.g. they say "godzhina" i.e. godina = year where in the Western accent it is godina or another example is "studentchi" - students vs "studenti".
@@kosmicheskiprah eastern is unintelligible, sounds like French to me
@@mitri5389 Lol, really? Can I ask what is your first or native language?
Lol Greek. I think the Eastern Bulgarian dialect has similar sounding like Polish because it has "tch" sound. "Studentchi" students.
I am from Western Bulgaria and for me the eastern Bulgarian dialec sounds too soft and a little funny.
For exaple we say "pet"for 5 and in Eastern Bulgaria they say " pyet". They dont have just hard "e" sound and pronounce "ye" . And when the e is not stressed they pronounce "i". For example city of Ruse is pronounced by them "Rusi". :)))).
Браво холандецо, добра работа, много интересни мнения си събрал.
I speak Croatian and I understand Bulgarian well
Ahh, as an Easy Languages Bulgarian fan, this makes me so happy!
Много се радвам че сега има Easy Bulgarian!
I love Bulgaria. My pain and joy and hope. Forever love!
The perfect teacher for Easy Bulgarian, would also love to see Easy Arabic with him
Yes!!! We need more easy arabic
@@gastonmartinez6316 100%
We need Easy Egyptian Arabic, Easy Moroccan Arabic, Easy Levantine Arabic, Easy Gulf Arabic.... 😁
@@muistichOrion Yes, please!! Where are you from?
@@gastonmartinez6316 I'm not Arab 😂
Wowww this series comes just in the right time as I am studying Bulgarian now for a few months, so this will be really useful! By the way my name is also Tim and I am also from The Netherlands...what a coincidence!😀
Absolutly true. Two years in the USA and West Carribian . Bulgaria is the best place for living. 🌹❤️🌹
О Боже.. Беше мъка мъка... Да си някъде където си като посаден...
Сънувах печени чушки, домати и сирене.. Да тичаш като луд нагоре надолу не е живот.
Парите нямат значение.
Когато една салата не може да си направиш като хората .. Пластмасови зеленчуци и пластмасови хора.. Изкуствени и адски комплексирани. Депресията е второто им име.
Боже колко е хубаво в България...
I was greatly looking forward to see easyBulgarian one day here🤩

FINALLYYYY
Пътувах в България преди около 40 години и
няма да я забравя. Хубава страна, гостоприемни хора, прекрасен език.
No, their language is probably the most rough, harsh and ugly sounding language in Europe. It sounds very monotonous and brutal to listen to. Sorry to Bulgarians but their language is just too much for someone's ears. The other European languages sound softer than Bulgarian. Also , every Bulgarian person speaks and sounds like as if he/she is angry. Gross and disgusting people and language
I'm so happy there's finally an easy Bulgarian course!
I’ve waited for such a long time for Easy Bulgarian 😍😍😍😍
Wow Easy Bulgarian! Welcome to the family!
I'm happy to realize Bulgarian are friendly people I thought they were a little colder as most European seem to be (from an Argentinian point of view I'm talking, we basically don't know the concept of personal space for how much friendly we are 😅 no offense intended) and omg I LOVE the sound of the language my ears are pleased~
We, people from the Balkans, are very similar to the Latin Americans. In every sense! 😃
@@MrHriskoch 😯 I didn't know. That just woke my curiosity 🤩
Balkan people make great friends with Latin Americans.
@@honeyheart8215 and Italians and Spanish haha Viva South hahaha
I want to move to Bulgaria when I get older. Time to learn the Bulgarian language.
Loved this video! I recently moved to BG after growing up and living my whole life in the US and UK. Do i regret coming here?? absolutely not. Of course there are issues as with every country and the current political situation is a mess, but that aside, I truly is an amzing fruitful country, with amazing nature, cuisine, history, culture and people. I look forward to seeing BG grow and prosper as it has uncapped potential and is definately one of the EU's best kept secrets
It is a pity that Bulgaria is so little known. I often come here and I have always found myself well. I like people very much, they are kind and well-behaved. I do not go to the sea but I know the mountains and Sofia, a beautiful city livable. But as a guest, I don’t feel like talking about it.
И Аз доста години бях в Чужбина.Слушам какво им е липсвало в Чужбина на тези прекрасни Българи и си мисля че просто НИЕ ЛИПСВАЛА РОДИНАТА!
Don't say "Haide da otidem" , because that doesn't mean "Let's begin", but only "Let's go [somewhere]" in it's literal sense. Don't be surprised if someone replies you "Where?" :D
Можеше просто да каже “haide”
@@Phildim23 да
Thank you for coming in Bulgaria.
Thanks a lot for starting Easy Bulgarian, I was waiting for it!! :)

Nai-posle pravite easy languages na bylgarski!!! az opitvam da u4a bylgarski no mnogo e trudno da praviq tova samo. Thank you very very much! i hope you'll keep doing it :D
I wished i could be a co-producer and/or support the channel somhow but i don't speak bulgarian that well AND don't live in Bulgaria currently, i wouldn't be a good fit hahah
But thank you once again!
I have been in 30+ countries, from Asia, Europe to North America, Central America, and South America. I can tell Bulgarian food is great, and people are wonderful.
Yes
Sooo nice this episode!
Wanna see more of it :D
Thx!! 💗
I'll watch anything with Tim on it. I'll even learn Bulgarian, lol.
Наѝ-накрая! Моят наѝ-любимият език!
Здравеите! Благодарим за видео. Искаме да видим по много такви видео!
Im french and russian and lived 4 years in bulgaria when i was growing, me and my family absolutely loved this country and the people there. i watched this video to make sure that I don't forget the language and I'm glad i didnt :D
Thank you for this video ❤️ Im Bulgarian, living in UK and I miss my country so much!
You're a traitor

Great video! I'm Bulgarian and I've lived in the US and South Korea but I keep coming back to Bulgaria(now with my family). I do think the country has many problems (the system sucks basically) but I do feel more free here in terms of socializing and making my own choices. If people became a bit less spiteful, this place would be amazing! I'm planning to interview South Koreans who live in Bulgaria for my channel :)
More episodes about Bulgaria please 😍😍😍
Как интересно звучит болгарский! Очень похоже на русский.
На оборот. Русский похож на балгарский
да, потому что болгария - родина кириллицы и славянской письменности. Болгария - первая страна в мире, использующая кириллический алфавит. Болгария распространила кириллицу по всему миру. Без Болгарии никто бы не писал на кириллице
@@dragozhekovdragov8377 Гениален коментар. А български прилича на македонски, а македонски на украински
please make more videos about bulgaria
that's quite interesting, that Bulgarian still has both perfect and imperfect (aorist) verb tenses as it was in Old Russian hundreds years ago
and it even has definitive articles
Yes, and we only have remnants of cases, we generally prefer nominative (or sometimes accusative for a more formal situation) case with definite/indefinite articles, very rarely dative case, although it still exists but sounds more archaic. We substitute those with prepositions. Dative can be accusative with a preposition or even nominative with a preposition.
Some northern Russian dialects makes use of -to particles after nouns and adjectives. Like in standard Russian you would say "а дверь-то закрыта", but in the northern dialects they're used more consequently and frequently, and unlike Bulgarian they're also declined by case. But whether the -to particle can be viewed as post-positive article is debated.
I am wondering if the old Russian as off hundreds of years ago was influenced buy the Bulgarian Bible or later on during the time of Ekaterina the Great when Old Bulgarian was used as a base to formalize the official Russian language or do you mean the Russian prior to the Bulgarian influence?
@@boyanpanajotov6209 I'm not a professional linguist. Do you think that this verb-tense system was "imported" into Russian from Old Bulgarian? I don't know, but if it was true than there should have been some other tense system prior to such an "import". I would rather assume that this system was more or less universal across different Indo-European languages. And that Russian has deviated from this system later.
@@boyanpanajotov6209 Not influence d. Russian is based on Old Bulgarian
This is AWESOME!!!
