Here are some tips and resources.

Find a teacher

Even if you’re confident that you can teach yourself, you should find a teacher or conversation partner.

  • They provide cultural nuance you won’t get from books or online materials.
  • Most written materials fail to show which syllable is stressed. You can easily learn the wrong way to say things.

Try online materials with human audio

Books often don’t show which syllable is stressed, and they can have exercises with no answers.

Bulgaro.io gets around this by providing audio of humans and exercises with answers. It also gives a useful overview of grammar.
