STUDY IN BULGARIA

Courses:

There are a few language courses that are offered to foreigners,but make sure you book them before you arrive in Bulgaria.

Sofia University: Bul Tsar offers Bulgarian languagecourses for foreigners,with one to one courses costing  200 lv for 20 hours tuition.The university also runs classes in Bulgarian culture,dance and folklore: a two week course costs 400lv.Unfortunately,shorter courses are not available.


The Sts Cyril and Methodius University of Veliko Tarnovo usually offers a one month International Summer Seminar for students in Bulgarian Language and Slavic Culture every August.

Classes:

First class compartments seat six people,eight are crammed into 2nd class,and the intercity express has individual eats in an open carriage.

Sleepers and couchettes are available between sofia and Burgas and Varna but must be booked in advance.Fares for 1st class are around 25% higher than for 2nd class.The crriages will not be any cleaner,but its always worth paying the extra just to have a bit more space.

Teaching English overseas with a TEFL course:

Want to live and work overseas?If you speak English,you can teach English all over the world.Teaching English as a foreign language  can be a great way to fund your travels and experience new cultures.You do not even need any teaching experience or the ability to speak another language.

Work:

Since Bulgaria joined the EU in 2007,there are no longer any labour restrictions on citizens of other EU countries,but with high levels of domestic unemployment and some of the lowest wages in Europe.Bulgaria is not going to be the most obvious destination for foreign jobseekers.There are rather more opportunities for entrepreneurs,though,and the goernment is keen for foreigners to establish businesses as long as most of the staff are Bulgrian.
