Bulgarian Alphabet

The Bulgarian alphabet is featured in some excellent websites which summarise the history of the Cyrillic alphabet, give approximate equivalent sounds for the consonants and vowels in English and in some cases provide excellent sound clips.

Useful websites

The sound clips are not yet in place. Scroll down to find the actual alphabet section if you do not wish to read the whole article. Clear and well-organised. Good if you do not mind waiting for the sound to be added. Letters in alphabetical order and useful pronunciation guide.

Interesting article on language, the alphabet and a most useful pronunciation guide. After this are more language notes which I found practical and useful. Eighty one per cent of people who read this article voted for it as very useful. See what you think.

Learn Bulgarian

I love this site. It is colourful, lively and really geared to beginning to learn the language. There are 15 free lessons listed which you can download so if you are already confident with reading the alphabet, this is a good way of helping yourself move on.

Your comments on your learning experiences using any or all of these sites would be really welcome. Have fun.

And at the weekend, there will be another lesson.
