This learning set contains two booklets. In one of them, the texts of the dialogues are in Cyrillic characters and in the other, transcribed in English letters. You can use whichever you find more helpful for your learning. Bulgarian conversation is the ideal all-audio course for absolute beginners. Its specially designed step-by-step approach assumes no prior knowledge of the language, and encourages you to make genuine progress right from the start. The 20 dialogues on CDs 1 and 2 will teach you the Bulgarian you will need to speak and understand, without getting bogged down with grammar. CD 3, uniquely, teaches skills for listening and understanding. Dr Mira Kovatcheva is Associate Professor in the Department of English and American Studies at the University of Sofia. Professor Michael Holman is Emeritus Professor of Russian and Slavonic Studies, University of Leeds.
