We finally received our I171H and hope to submit our dossier at the end of this month. Does anyone have any suggestions on books or cds to learn Bulgarian? Also if you have already adopted from Bulgaria did you have a private doctor check your child in the orphanage and who did you use to check your referrel medical info? We live in Michigan.
Thanx

I wish that I could give you some advice. Before we adopted our son from Kazkahstan we learned Russian and I had hoped to do the same with Bulgaria. I did get one program that has suflowers on the frount cover and it is not helpful at all. You might try contacting either your local Mormon Church or the Peace Corps office. Both organizations have excelent language programs for learning an language quickly. Best of luck to you.

thank you Karon for the suggestions.

I'm interested in learning Bulgarian too - at least the basic conversation. I've been looking on Amazon for products.

I did a search on "learning the Bulgarian language" and found some site with free downloads for learning the language. I haven't tried them out so I can't tell you any more than that.

I went to your blog. Your daugther is precious. I see you are adopting from Ethiopia. How did you end up on the Bulgarian section? Just curious. Thanx for the info. Celeste

If anyone is looking for a book/cd to learn Bulgarian to communicate with your adopted child I found one. It is called Bulgarian Phrases for children. Best of luck, celeste

Hi I had a difficult time finding this book so here is where to go. Search the author : Fred Des Chenes" and then you can order it from the author directly. I tried Amazon but they didnt have it. Hope this helps. It is a CD with the correct pronunciation. I ordered mine

[mom4three]

I received the cd, highly recommend it. You learn the accent as well as the words. I will probably get a dictionary though when we travel for words that aren't on the cd.

I went on line and ordered a program that is called "before you know it" I found it to be very helpful. I tried the one with the sunflowers on it also and it was useless to me as well.
