Horrible there is no other word
Having lived in Bulgria for two years I have a fairly descent knowledge of Bulgarianand being an American I can speak English pretty good(albeit with a northern Utah accent) Quite simply this is a terrible dictionary. For one thing the choice of words leaves much to be desired. For example, you can in the english portion you can find armament but somehow banana is missing. I don't know about you but I use banana I lot more than I use the word armament.

The Bulgarian section isn't any better missing key words such as taka and takiva. Zero is spelled incorrectly in the Bulgarian section so that it is pronouces with a p sound instead of the correct n pronuciation. Many of the definition are impercise and would do better as secondary definition. The Bulgarian word given for pen is actually closer to quill is one example.

There are some dictionaries which are slightly better, but the truth is that you can't get a good bulgarian dictionary in America, the best are made in Bulgaria. If you really want to learn Bulgarian (and I can't imagine why you would) then your best bet is to buy a grammer book and just learn the words of the glossary or just wait until you are in Bulgaria to buy a dictionary.

Rather limited listing
Not an expert in the field, but I simply had trouble finding simple, common words in this dictionary.
