Bulgarian Alphabet Day



The 24th May is celebrated in Bulgaria as Bulgarian Alphabet Day. A few days ago we attended a special performance of the local school children celebrating this event. It was very moving to see this year's first graders receive special certificates and flowers and children from all of the classes performing songs and dances. The performance was held in the village community centre which has excellent facilities with a proper stage and auditorium for seating around 250 people.






In the meantime, we are continuing to pick up Bulgarian in a rather hit-and-miss fashion by just chatting to people and realizing that each time we are understanding more and more of the conversation.
