A practical way to use the course
Make each Bulgarian lesson stick.
Treat the 60 lessons as a study path, not a deadline. A little recall, listening and real use will take you further than rushing to tick off another day.
A routine for about an hour
- Recall yesterday — 5 minutes. Without opening your notes, write or say five words and two sentences from the previous lesson. Check them afterwards.
- Read and listen — 15 minutes. Work through a small section. Play a phrase, listen once, then say it aloud. Slow the audio if needed and return to normal speed when the phrase feels familiar.
- Build your own examples — 15 minutes. Change a name, place, time or noun in the model sentences. Say the new sentence, then write it. Keep the grammar pattern you are practising.
- Check your understanding — 10 minutes. Take the lesson quiz without notes. Read the explanation for each error. A correct guess is worth reviewing too.
- Use it — 10 minutes. Write a short message or record yourself describing a real situation. Where possible, ask a Bulgarian speaker or teacher to check one phrase.
- Choose tomorrow’s review — 5 minutes. Keep three difficult words and one useful sentence. Mark the day complete when you have finished, and return to these items tomorrow.
Short on time? Split a lesson into two sessions. If a topic is new or difficult, repeat it before moving on. “Day” is a lesson label, not a requirement to finish in a single calendar day.
Follow the course path
Days 1–15: A1 foundations
Learn Cyrillic, greetings, numbers, basic verbs and simple sentences. Use Day 15 as a course checkpoint and revisit the topics you missed.
Start the foundations →Days 16–35: A2 study
Build language for everyday situations and expand your grammar. Day 35 is the A2 checkpoint and includes citizenship-format practice.
Explore everyday Bulgarian →Days 36–60: B1 study
Work with more complex grammar, reading and ways to express opinions. Use the final lessons to identify what needs more practice.
Continue into B1 topics →Find a topic quickly
Use focused guides when you want a reference or need to revisit one skill.

Come back to a difficult phrase the next day, a few days later and the following week. Try to recall it before revealing the answer. If you keep missing the same pattern, revisit its lesson and make a different example rather than memorising a quiz option.

Keep your progress when moving devices
Your daily completion marks, review results and reading preferences are stored in the browser you are using. They do not automatically follow you to another browser or device. Private browsing and clearing site data can remove them.
- In the footer, choose Export progress. Keep the downloaded BG60Day JSON file somewhere you can access on the other device.
- Open BG60Day on that device and choose Import progress in its footer.
- Select your exported file. The course merges valid lesson completions and review results with progress already saved in that browser, then reloads.
The progress export is not an account backup: it does not transfer your downloaded audio, reading positions, audio-speed preference or analytics choice. Export again after making more progress if you want an up-to-date copy.
Study a lesson offline
While connected, open the daily lesson you want and choose Download this lesson. Wait for the download confirmation before disconnecting. This saves that lesson and its available audio for use in the same browser; it does not download the whole course.
Offline audio storage is limited. Saving or playing more lessons can displace older clips, and your browser can clear cached files when storage is low. Before travelling, reopen the lesson in that browser and check it in airplane mode. Reconnect and download again if something is missing. Keep your browser’s site data to retain offline files.
Practise the skills a quiz cannot measure
The quizzes and 40-question course practice test help you review selected topics. They do not certify a CEFR level, test spontaneous conversation or replace independently checked writing.
For speaking, answer simple questions aloud and practise with a language partner or teacher. For writing, produce short messages in your own words and ask for corrections. Use Bulgarian TV, radio and news for additional listening and reading, choosing material you can partly understand.
If you are preparing for citizenship or a formal certificate, use the relevant provider’s current sample papers and requirements. The citizenship guide explains where to find official information.
