This CD makes it easy and fun, It can take a few days to get used to the accents of the native speakers on the CD but I found that by concentrating on only one of the two speakers I was able to get to grips with the pronunciation.

Only one gripe is that the speakers speak very quickly, I would have liked to see a slowed down version or the words spelled out phonetically in the dictionary.

Apart from that I am surprised at how quickly I am learning from using the software for less than an hour a day.

This interactive CD-Rom 'does exactly as it says on the packet'. You are able to repeat the phrases and record them , although you need a headset, then your words are compared to the native Bulgarian speakers. This can be quite a giggle when you play it back! The speakers are slow and concise, making it easier to break down the words into syllables when practicing.
There are sections for useful phrases, telling the time, food, shopping and more. There are quizes for each section at different levels so you can test yourself and if you get it wrong don't think you can just gloss over it; this software remembers and will ask you again next time!
You can also print all of the material out so that you can practice from this when you can't access a PC.
I'm past this stage now but this CD Rom really helped me to get to grips with the pronounciation when I started - there are even male and female voices so you can follow a similar sound to your own voice.
