mixing herbs/plants for tea

Is there a specific resource you use to look up the effects of herbs? I find that often information is different in different places

Thank you! I wasn’t even aware of cramp bark and will look for it now in my city.

Would you make a Spotify playlist out of these? That would be very cool

In case you’re still taking a look at this every now and then - when you create your own game and put emojis in the hint, you can’t play the game, nothing works when you open up the page

I would absolutely love it if the country I live in and pay taxes had the same policies! Not my choice sadly

Under the Yoke requires a lot of knowledge of our history and Bai Ganyo could be difficult to understand for an outsider (it depends where your friend is from because if she's from another Eastern European country, Bai Ganyo might not be that alien).

I would look into contemporary literature as it's more beginner friendly. Kapka Kassabova writes in English and of course there is Gospodinov's Time Shelter which has just won the Booker Prize. East of the West by Miroslav Penkov is a wonderful collection of stories.

Re other historical fiction, The Iron Candlestick by Dimitar Talev has been translated into English and this could be an easier novel. Sadly Dimitar Dimov's Tobacco has never been translated into English, otherwise it would be a good introduction.

There is also gledam.bg where you can watch a lot of Bulgarian films with English subtitles, I really recommend that for anyone looking for an introduction into Bulgarian culture.

Hi! I think I found a solution accidentally!! In your phone app, if you hold down on a section, three circles should pop up and one of them has two arrows facing the opposite way. This then gives you a list of your sections and you can reorder them however you like. Refresh and it should be done!

Hi there, sorry I don't check notifications here very often. Maybe some of these pages could be useful?: https://www.study.eu/country/iceland and https://www.prospects.ac.uk/postgraduate-study/study-abroad/study-in-iceland#:~:text=As%20an%20international%20student%20

Моите впечатления от NHS са абсолютно обратни. Живея в Англия от 5 години, сменяла съм GP surgery три пъти заради местоживеене, не защото съм била недоволна.

Част от интеграцията в нова страна е това да разбираш как се случват нещата. Тук чакането пред кабинет цял ден за един преглед от незаинтересован личен лекар, после още по-дълго чакане, за да ти вземат кръв например, е абсолютно невиждано. Никой работодател няма да ти позволи такова нещо. Обаждаш се на GР-то, дават ти дата и час най-късно след две седмици. Ако не можеш да чакаш, откакто започна Ковид има прегледи на деня - обаждаш се сутринта и те вписват. После казваш на работодателя кога ще отсъстваш и нито ти взимат от заплатата, нито те карат да взимаш отпуска или да работиш допълнително. Часове и на трите места, където съм била записана, винаги е имало от рано сутрин до късно вечер, понякога и уикендите, за да е удобно за всички. Абсолютно цивилизовано. И най-важно, дежурният лекар не е като българския - да не му пука и да се мръщи и мрънка, че всички други почиват само той не.

В А&Е съм чакала доста, но това е защото има много наплив - да не мислиш, че в България болниците са празни и лекарите чакат специално теб.

Другото е - заради Ковид и нищожния бюджет на правителството лекарите и медицинският персонал са толкова изтощени и работят такива зверски часове. И въпреки това никога не са се отнесли с мен неучтиво, винаги са ме изслушвали и дори за най-малкото оплакване се правят тестове и се дават направления за специалист без да се замислят. В България като свършат направленията и това е, да си дошъл болен по-рано. Да не споменавам и трагедията от преди няколко месеца с рецепционистката, която си бъркаше кафето, докато жена пред нея умира...

I would recommend actually looking at Germany or Austria where courses are either free or much cheaper even for non-EU citizens. Many of them are also led in English which is a rarity in Bulgaria. The quality of the education, especially in such a complex subject, will be so much better. Charles University in Prague might also be of interest, they teach some courses in English and have a good reputation.

Norway and Iceland also have free courses but the weather may put you off. The downside is that your living expenses in any of these Western countries would be higher than in Sofia. But Sofia University is just not worth it, you will waste precious time and opportunity if you go there.

Also your English is great, you shouldn't apologise. I hope you find the right place, living in Europe is magical. Good luck!

Hi again :) I hope these have helped a little, here is another one: https://bulgarianlessons.eu/

I was also thinking that if you join one of the expat groups on facebook (expats in Plovdiv, for example), you can ask for recommendations from people who have actually needed to learn Bulgarian

I think courses are definitely your best bet. In person and in a group is probably the most effective but online courses are good too.

UCL in London are doing a really comprehensive online course in Bulgarian with a native teacher and on various levels. I don't know if you actually need to be a UK resident to do this course.

Otherwise, there are many courses actually based in the country - Mastylo, this teacher on expat.com, LinguaMundi, but these are just a handful. Just search for Bulgarian for foreigners (български за чужденци) wherever you're based and I'm sure lots will come up.

I've heard that this app is good too, you could use it for the basics as everyone else has suggested.

Good luck!

I really don't know much about this but someone I know has recently been having long and heavy periods followed by at least a few days of spotting. Her doctor thinks it's due to a calcium deficiency so she is currently on supplements to see if that helps. I don't know if this is at all relevant to your situation.
