@ Sibel The ичс book is good but only in Bulgarian--the directions and well everything so if you're not taking a class it might not be that helpful. I have another book that is for conversational Bulgarian (without all of the grammar--not so helpful) called Learn Bulgarian the Easy Way and there's another book that I am going to be buying this weekend. I can't remember what the name of this book is...something like Bulgarian for English speakers.  This begs the question: are you living in Sofia now or just visiting? Either way let me know we should meet up.
