According to grammar, a reflexive verb is a verb whose direct object is the same as the subject, like in the example: "I wash myself."
In the Bulgarian language one verb is transformed into reflexive simply by adding the reflexive personal pronouns: "Се" or "Си".

Usually these verbs express the following notions:
Аз се обличам. | I am dressing myself. |
Аз се храня. | I am eating. |
Мария обичам Иван. Иван обича Мария. Те се обичат. | Maria loves Ivan. Ivan loves Maria. They love one another. |
влюбвам се | to be in love |
гордея се | to be proud of |
обаждам се | to call |
смея се | to laugh |
срамувам се | to be ashamed |
шегувам се | to joke |
Usually these verbs express the following notions:
Аз си слагам ризата. | I am putting on my shirt. |
Той си мие зъбите. | He is washing his teeth. |
There are more than two subjects performing the action and the object of the action is indirect.
Мария говори на Иван. Иван говори на Мария. Те си говорят. | Maria talks to Ivan. Ivan talks to Maria. They talk to each other. |
Често си купувам дрехи. | Often I buy clothes for myself. |
Обичам да си похапвам сладолед. | I love eating. |
мисля си | to think to oneself |
говоря си | to talk to oneself |
пия си | to drink |
играя си | to play |
купувам си | to buy |
Some verbs change their meaning when they become reflexive.
казвам | to tell, to say | казвам се | to be called |
карам | to drive | карам се | to have an argument |
намирам | to find | намирам се | to be located |
разбирам | to understand, to find out | разбирам се | to get along |
смея | to dare | смея се | to laugh |
There is also a difference in the meaning when we change the reflexive pronoun.
представям | to introduce | казвам | to tell |
представям се | to introduce oneself | казвам се | to be called |
представям си | to imagine | казвам си | to tell oneself |

Dear Student,
I am Daniela, a qualified teacher of Bulgarian as a foreign language.
I will be delighted to help you learn Bulgarian. I am originally from Sofia, Bulgaria. I am passionate about languages; I am fluent in English and Spanish, Czech and Slovenian. I have helped many foreigners now living in Bulgaria to better understand and speak with confidence in their social environment. I am always interested in their motivation to learn Bulgarian and I adapt myself completely to the needs and tastes of each student. My teaching style is very communicative, I teach through dialogues, and real situations so my students start speaking from the very first lesson. I make my classes fun and enjoyable for all students, as I believe it is very important that the student enjoys learning, that they look forward to the next class. We often talk about culture, traditions, history and all kinds of topics that interest the student and in this way, progress is much more natural and faster.
Many thanks.
Best regards, Daniela

Hello, I'm Rosie. I strongly believe that anyone can not only learn a language, but it can happen naturally, without homework, overcoming the learning-relate traumas. Within only a couple of sessions, students start using the language spontaneously and confidently. Until the end of the course, they can successfully engage in a wide range of topics. Suggestopedia makes it all happen.
I'm a highly-qualified teacher of English and Bulgarian with over 8 years of experience in teaching students from all ages, levels and cultural backgrounds.
I use an innovative and creative methodology to help you learn up to 5 times faster with much better reinforcement compared to any traditional methodologies.
If you are curious to experience it first-hand, do not hesitate to contact me.
I will gladly welcome you to my virtual space!
Best wishes!

Hello All,
It is nice to meet you and I would be more than glad to discuss your learning goals in a trail lesson of 30 minutes so we could know each other better. I have a level 3 award in Education by YMCA, where I have planned and delivered a lesson on the topic Bulgarian alphabet to English students. On the other hand I am currently finishing my study in Bulgarian Linguistics and Literature at the Sofia's university. I spent a few years in England where I have been a Learning assistant for ESOL classes, which is teaching English as a second language. I also have a degree from University of Sheffield in Business Administration.
Before starting the lessons we will have to do an assessment to see the level of the student. Once this is done and our goals are set, even if it is for a few lessons only, we will adapt the student centered methodology. The lessons will be interactive, with a participative style -grammar rules will be discussed, speaking , writing and vocabulary.
For English -Cambridge books
For Bulgarian- filmcards , cards with pictures and names in Bulgarian. Printed materials in regards to Bulgarian language.
Lessons will be delivered in English or/and Bulgarian.

Hi there,
I am glad to meet you.
First of all, let me congratulate you on the decision to learn or improve a new language. In your case this is Bulgarian.
My country, Bulgaria, is a beautiful country with nice and hospitable people. It is an ancient land with a great history and rich culture. Having learned our language you will be able to get in touch freely with our good people and country.
I come from the town of Vidin, Bulgaria. I am a qualified English and Bulgarian teacher. I graduated back in 1972 from Sofia University with an MA in English Philology and Bulgarian Philology as a second subject. Since then I have spent most of my professional career teaching Bulgarian students.
First of all, we will have a 20-30-minute trial lesson during which we can get to know each other, set expectations towards the lessons and schedule the timetable. The next step is simple - we start learning the language of your choice!
Cannot wait to meet you and help you on your journey to learn Bulgarian.

She is very patient and helpful teacher. After several hours, I already made some progress in recognizing cyrillic alphabets and bulgarian daily conversations. The price is very affordable as well.

So far, I have had 23 classes with Angel. Communication has, from the beginning on, been very smooth. Angel is always super punctual and correct. What I enjoy the most are the more personalized classes. Angel got to know that I like to sing/play music so he taught me two Bulgarian songs. It was a nice challenge. I have almost no time to study for my classes but still I feel like I've improved quite a bit just by reading/translating/looking at the grammar and asking poor Angel way too many questions :).
Angel S.I am really pleased to teach such a motivated and keen learner as my student Eva. My lessons with her have been real fun and I always look forward to them. Thank you, Eva, for being my student!

I highly recommend Daniela. She is a very experienced and professional language teacher. She created dialogue teaching materials that helped me become conversational in Bulgarian from the first lesson. I was only familiar with the alphabet, but now, after one lesson, I can book an appointment, order a taxi, a coffee, and greet people in Bulgarian. I will continue to practice and add new words to my vocabulary. Daniela is a brilliant teacher who makes learning conversational Bulgarian so easy!
