On Sunday, my Bulgarian tutor Ivet told me that this was our 50th lesson together.

<em>What?!</em>

50 lessons. That's a lot.

Had I known maybe I would have baked a cake or brought champagne to celebrate.

But I didn't know. So we just did what we always do. I reviewed my homework with Ivet. This past week: Reflexive verbs in the past indefinite tense or възвратни глаголи в минало неопределено време. Yep. It's a mouthful in either language. And, yep. I did a quick google search to make sure that I actually understood the past indefinite tense in English before jumping into the Bulgarian homework two weeks ago.

This whole thing got me thinking, why do I study Bulgarian?

The simple answer: Because it's good for me.

So this week, in honor of my 50th lesson, I am going to focus on Bulgarian on my blog.
