Bulgarian: Cyrillic Bridge

Bulgarian is made for people who moved to Bulgaria — or are about to — and read English, Russian or Ukrainian. It starts with the thirty letters on every sign and form around you, then takes you through the words you will actually need.

NO SIGNAL NEEDED
The alphabet, the word decks and every translation live on your device. On the plane, in the metro, in a village with no coverage — everything opens instantly, because nothing is fetched while you use it.

THREE STARTING POINTS, NOT ONE
A Russian reader, a Ukrainian reader and a Latin-alphabet reader do not have the same problem with Cyrillic. Each interface language marks the same thirty letters with a different badge: already yours, looks familiar but is not, or a new shape. If you read the Latin alphabet, eight letters are marked as false friends — В, Н, Р, С, У, Х, and Ъ and Ь, which only look like a soft b.

Flip cards drawn from real life. Tap a card to turn it over and read the meaning; every card carries its CEFR level, and readers of the Latin alphabet also get a phonetic respelling under the meaning.
