Summary: below average "Teach Yourself"
Comment: I'm pretty familiar with the Teach Yourself series, owning 9 of them. Of course, there are different authors for every language, so you can't judge them by the series. I find this one below average in some aspects. I find the grammatical elements are poorly explained, with the explanation (if any) usually coming a bit too far after the concept is introduced. This results in a fair degree of confusion, and I'm a fairly experienced language student, speaking 3 languages with a moderate level of fluency, and varying levels of familiarity with about 8 others, including Russian and Czech. I also have a Bulgarian friend who I get to help with pronunciation, etc., and he laughs at the book about 90% of the time. I do find that the attempts to make the book interesting and colloquial help keep the learner going. Once I got to the middle of the book, I felt that I had finally gotten enough basic grammar to have some idea of what they were trying to explain (or forgetting to explain). The book includes answers to the exercises, about half of which I found useful. There are examples of handwriting, which I think is really necessary if you are trying to learn the language to visit the country, since it differs markedly from typed, but they are small and a bit difficult to see. Overall I recommend this as a supplement to "Colloquial Bulgarian" by George D. Papantchev. Unfortunately, I have not yet encountered a self-teaching Bulgarian book yet that I would give 5 stars.

Summary: pretty good
Comment: i gave this book as a present to a friend of mine. he seems to be doing great with it. it seems this is a great book for people who know nothing of the language. some external help with pronounciation would be good though.

Summary: The most widely preferred assistant to learn Bulgarian
Comment: I am a teacher of English and Bulgarian to people of different nationalities.
Teach yourself Bulgarian is the textbook that has proved to be og greatest help and value to all of my English speaking students who at a certain time of their life have wanted or needed to get acquainted with the interesting language and culture of Bulgarians. Whether you need the language for doing business, or just because you were fascinated with the sound of it or with the look of Bulgaria, this is an excellent guide into the world of Bulgarian language.
