Bulgarian teacher profile - Kiril Tanev
My name is Kiril Tanev and I am from the capital of Bulgaria - Sofia, but have been living in Veliko Tarnovo for over 20 years. I have always been involved in teaching. My university education was in Bulgarian Philology and i have been teaching ever since. I started off teaching English to Bulgarian students in the 1990s but as more and more foreign students came to Bulgaria and the popularity of Bulgaria increased there was more people wanting to learn our language. It is a real pleasure for me to teach Bulgarian - which is such a rich and beautiful language. I have taught people from all over the world to speak Bulgarian and like to see that people enjoy the experience of learning. It is important to learn not only the language but also the culture and the people - that way you will learn Bulgarian much quicker and easier. Bulgarian teacher profile - Iliyana Dimitrova
