Your first lesson
1 of 30Read Cyrillic without learning the whole language
Start with familiar shapes, then tackle false friends and new characters.
Decode Bulgarian menu sections, dishes, quantities and prices.
Short, practical reading sessions for expats and travellers in Varna and across Bulgaria.
A focused Bulgarian alphabet course
This app teaches reading and recognition—not Bulgarian grammar or conversation. Your progress is saved, and every letter includes audio so you can connect the Cyrillic character with its sound.
Can I learn Bulgarian Cyrillic as a beginner?
Yes. The course begins with letters that look familiar in English, explains misleading “false friends,” and gradually introduces the remaining Bulgarian characters.
Will this help me read signs in Bulgaria?
That is the goal. Practice includes Bulgarian shop signs, service signs, menus and everyday written phrases commonly seen around Varna and the rest of Bulgaria.
Can it help me read a Bulgarian menu?
Yes. The complete trial includes a realistic menu challenge covering sections such as salads, soups, main dishes, desserts and drinks, together with Bulgarian quantities and prices.
