So one of my goals right now is to learn Bulgarian. And as there are no classes around here, and no audio or book resources in the library, and sources such as this and this are not things I can really afford, I will be basically studying by internet. Which I'm sure means my pronunciation will be slightly wonky but that doesn't really matter.

I also want to keep a record of what I'm doing, both so I can go back and look things up and so I can prove to myself that I'm actually making progress. I expect it to be of little interest to anyone else, but. It might be. *shrug* So, poll!

hmm. is the "ch" in "ch"e pronounced like in English or is more like a ky sound?

[ysobel]

We've been doing it as in English. (cyrillic, for whatever it's worth, has чe)

okay, i asked a Bulgarian friend and this is her answer:

Драга моја другарице Птало лол тази песен вероятно е от Шопска област или Пиринско, където в местния диалект също ползват "сакам", просто защото Пирин например е много близо до Македония... но "сакам" не е официално българска дума.Българските думи за всички значения на "сакам" са:

искам - to want
харесвам - to like
обичам - to love

My dear friend Pthalo lol that song is likely from Shopska region or Pirinsko, where there is a mixing of dialects similarly using "sakam", simply because Pirin for example is very close to Macedonija... but "sakam" isn't an official Bulgarian word. Bulgarian words with similar meaning to "sakam" are:

iskam - i want
haresvam - i like
obicham - i love
