why not try to speak to the locals in the own language, i'm sure they will be even more friendly if the think you are trying, and not think of you as just another rude, un-educated tourist. Hey it might be fun... i'm 'gona' give it a try, click the link, print it and have a go.

You might even get some discounted prices as every one seams to be moaning about the prices going up.
Either way it may help with the enjoyment of the holiday.

re: The lingo
Thanks for that just had a swizz and had me in stitches .....for the last couple of years I have heard instructors shouting what I thought was charger at my son whilst he has been skiing I now know they meant 'chaga chaga' which is wait. Gave me a giggle I can tell you. Will know exactly what they mean this year when we are out there.Dona
re: The lingo
Glad to help, dona, just let your son know that they don't want him to charge down the mountain, i'm sure it will be handy to keep in your pocketwhile in BG, will be good for the summer over at coast if anyone's going there to...Pimp x
re: The lingo
I think the main problem is my son doesn't really care what they want him to do he wants to go his way which tends to be very fast. He tucks from halfway up a red ....... how I have not keeled over from a heart attack before now I do not know. He also likes jumps and going through the trees for the bumps and he is only 7. Heaven help me this year as he is trying boarding not sure I will survive.Dona

My husband agrees. Having been going there for twenty years!!! he has bitten the bullet and signed up for a Bulgarian learning package. We have made friends in Bulgaria over the years and apart from the odd words and phrases used in the resort have never given it a go. So he is giving it a real go and is now having short conversations in Bulgarian to our friends via the Skype phone link. It seems like a huge mountain to climb at the start but mastering the azbuka (alphabet) makes a huge ...

It seems like a huge mountain to climb at the start but mastering the azbuka (alphabet) makes a huge difference. Bulgarian words begin to make sense!
Good luck to anyone else having a go.

re: The lingo
I used a phrase book before i went to learn basic phrases such as good morning, goodnight, hello (last year we learned thank you, cheers (as in drinking) and coomalisa... which seems to be hot chocolate and ouzo type alcohol!One of the instructors said that learning the alphabet was a great way because you'll be able to read the words and eventually they'll start to make sense.
I've brought home a load of lit, receipts etc to translate after learning the alphavet and sounds
