You just completed 60 days of Bulgarian.
That is roughly 60 hours of structured learning — the equivalent of a university semester course in Bulgarian language. You have gone from zero to B1, learnt the Cyrillic alphabet, mastered three past tenses, two verb aspects, the passive voice, relative clauses, conditionals, formal writing, immigration law vocabulary, and enough idioms to make a Bulgarian grandmother smile.
This entire course — all 60 days, all 60 hours of content — is completely free. At a language school, an equivalent course would cost between €300 and €600. At a private tutor rate of £30/hr, that is £1,800 of tuition. Adrian built this because he believes language learning should be accessible to everyone, especially those trying to build a life in a new country.
If this course helped you — if it saved you money, helped you pass an exam, helped you talk to a neighbour, read a sign, or just feel more at home in Bulgaria — please consider saying thank you with the price of a coffee.
Every coffee goes directly to keeping this course free and funding future content.
No subscription. No account needed. Just a simple thank-you.
Adrian also shares Bulgarian language tips and immigration guidance on LinkedIn.
Congratulations, graduate!
You have completed the Bulgarian 60-by-60 course. You can now hold a real conversation in Bulgarian, read newspapers, navigate official processes, understand the history and culture of your new country, and — if you choose — sit the STBFL or citizenship language exam with confidence.
Bulgarian is a beautiful, ancient language. Keep speaking it. Keep reading it. Find a language partner. Watch БНТ. Listen to Хоризонт radio. The 60 days were the foundation — the rest of your life is the building.
Честито! Успех напред!
Congratulations! Success going forward!
