Customer Reviews

A horrible dictionary1
I am an American who learned Bulgarian at a fairly rigorous pace. I lived in Bulgaria and became fairly fluent in the language. This book was useful for about the first week of my study. Bulgarian verbs have two forms to all verbs and this book seemed oblivious to that as it only listed one. The translations were horrible and sometimes even hilarious. There are much better dictionaries out there do not settle for this one.

"Practical" is right3
This is a very simple, basic dictionary. Does not separate meanings. Small vocabulary. Works well in restaurant environment for making small talk in both languages :) For serious study, use something bigger.

Inadequate3
This dictionary is simply inadequate for serious study of Bulgarian. It would be more suitable for a tourist, used in combination with a basic grammar.
