Bulgarian language

Okay kiddo, let's talk about Bulgarian, which is a language that people in Bulgaria speak.

Bulgarian language has some funny squiggles (letters) in it that make it look different than the letters we use in English. These squiggles are called Cyrillic letters. This is because the people who invented this alphabet, the Bulgarians living in the 9th century, based it on an older alphabet used by people living in the Byzantine Empire, which was also created by two brothers called Cyril and Methodius.

When we learn Bulgarian, we first learn the letters and how to pronounce them. Then we learn some simple words like hi, bye, and thank you. After that, we learn some more complicated words and sentences. Bulgarian language has a lot of words that come from other languages such as Turkish, Greek, and German.

There are different dialects of Bulgarian language, which means that people from different regions may speak it a little differently. Sometimes it can be hard for people who speak one dialect to understand people who speak another dialect.

Overall, Bulgarian is a really cool language to learn because it can open doors to new cultures and people. It may take some time and practice to become fluent, but it is worth it!
