ysobel1) Any suggestions for good resources on learning Bulgarian? (There are no classes locally.)
2) I can has SHOE. (this is the first time in a week that my left foot has been able to fit into a proper shoe. the big clunky black full-calf moon boot is not the most fun in the summer) \o/
3) Need writing mojo kickstart. Hence, meme:
Post the first line of a story here, and I'll write the next five. No context or prompts, just a line, and if I don't twig who it is then you'll get something slightly surreal back!
...and I am going to splurge and add the following to the meme: for any responses I make, if you write the *next* up-to-five sentences, I'll keep it going. \o/

the thing with transliterated for people who don't speak Bulgarian...depending on how they do it, I usually have trouble pronouncing those things, is that it's not really transliterated letter for letter, or it's transliterated with a set of assumptions that don't apply to me. So "gyöngy" (Hungarian word for pearl) might be spelled "jerndge" (*squirm*) and yeah er is kinda-sorta-not-really a decent approximation of ö (it's the same as german), but the gy is much softer than the english j)....
I might be able to help with figuring out the spelling correspondences for the transliteration method you're using, though. I could try at least and it sounds kinda fun :)
