USEFUL PHRASES FOR YOUR STAY IN BANSKO!
'един език никога не е достатъчен' (one language is never enough!)
Bulgaria uses the Cyrillic alphabet, as do the Russian, Serbian, and Macedonian languages.
This can make road signs and other symbols impossible to interpret and so it makes sense to learn the basics in advance.
Bulgarians shake their heads when they mean “yes” and nod when they mean “no”. Sometimes they reverse these gestures if they know they’re speaking to foreigners, thereby complicating the issue further. Emphatic use of the words da (yes) and ne (no) should be enough to avoid misunderstandings!
