Practice Talking About Hobbies in Bulgaria
Hobbies are the scenario where Bulgaria learners often shine — you already know your interests, so the conversation is just about translating them. This scenario rehearses the verbs for the most common hobbies (sports, music, reading, cooking, gaming), how to express enthusiasm, and how to ask about someone else's interests. You'll learn the Bulgaria formula for 'I've been doing X for Y years' and the small-talk extensions that turn 'I like cycling' into a 5-minute conversation about your favourite routes.
