Lesson Overview: Daily Routines in Bulgarian (A1 Level)
This lesson introduces you to basic vocabulary and expressions about daily routines in Bulgarian. You'll learn how to talk about common activities throughout the day, from waking up to going to bed. The lesson also includes simple verbs in the present tense that are essential for describing your everyday schedule.

Essential Verbs and Conjugation
The lesson focuses on present tense conjugations of frequent verbs which you will use to talk about your daily actions.

Practice Dialogues and Scenarios
You will find practical dialogues simulating everyday situations such as talking about your morning routine, discussing times you leave or return home, and describing your activities during work breaks or after hours.
Important Language Notes
Unlike English, Bulgarian verbs are conjugated depending on the person and number and use different prefixes or forms to express nuances such as 'to get up' (става́м) or 'to go' (оти́вам). Also, Bulgarian does not use articles in the same way English does, and prepositions like на (to/on) are frequent before places or times.
Common expressions you will practice include:
- всяка сутрин – every morning
- пия кафе и закусвам – I drink coffee and have breakfast
- отивам на работа с градски транспорт – I go to work by public transport
- обикновено работя от девет до пет – I usually work from nine to five
- след работа ходя на спорт – after work I go to the gym
- лягам си около десет вечерта – I go to bed around ten in the evening
