I highly recommend Veronika. She is incredibly kind, patient, and supportive. She always takes the time to make sure you understand everything and explains things clearly. Her classes are engaging, enjoyable, and very well structured. Time flies during her lessons because you are always learning and having fun! I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Bulgarian. ❤️

I got ZNAMLY as a present from my wife :) I am a false beginner and I really like the concept of the booklet. I listen to the audios while driving, and do the exercises together with my partner as a fun activity. Nice job, would definitely recommend!

As a fellow teacher I am so grateful for Niki's classes! She is obviously very prepared. Her classes are engaging and personalised, her explanations easy to follow, she uses our time well. Definitely recommending her to anyone who wants to study Bulgarian!

Znamly, by Veronika Ilieva, is a very nice introduction to the Bulgarian language and I would definitely recommend it to any beginner or anyone who wants to start learning Bulgarian. I really enjoyed that every seperate text follows a connected storyline, with day to day concepts, which encourages you to keep reading and learning. It also made me pay better attention to the new words I was learning so I could understand the story better. Znamly also gives the option, and encourages, to listen to the story in audio format which helped me improve my listening skills and pronunciation a lot. I especially liked the inclusion of the "Cultural Corner" at the end of every chapter, because it introduces you to interesting facts about Bulgarian culture, traditions, celebrations and history. The high quality of Znamly also reflects the level of quality and professionalism Veronika shows as a teacher, she always manages to keep the lessons interesting, engaging and challenging. As someone who has difficulty studying due to a chronic disease, I can say that she is very understanding and creates a comfortable learning environment. I personally couldn't wish for a better teacher!

I highly recommend the ebook Znamly from Francophoniki. For some time, I felt stuck between two levels, A1 and A2. I had taken a few classes before and learned Cyrillic on my own, so I ended up not really fitting into either level.

Znamly was great because it allowed me to practice the things I already knew while learning a lot of new things, including listening, which felt very natural and “organic” even without a tutor.

I hope they create a second level soon, because I would definitely continue with it!

An excellent teacher with a precise focus on exactly what is needed. The step-by-step approach and detailed explanations made learning Bulgarian much easier for me. Additionally, the positive atmosphere during the classes really contributed to a smoother learning experience. Highly recommended!!!

I have been learning with Veronika for a month now and am very happy with the sessions. She is a great teacher, who takes time to understand your level, strengths and weaknesses, and then tailors lessons to your goals. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking to learn or improve their Bulgarian!

The best Bulgarian teacher I've had, and I've had 3 others over the years. Veronika's teaching methods and positive attitude are really encouraging and I feel like I'm learning more than I ever have!

Why Choose FRANCOPHONIKI

Native Speakers Experience

Learn from native speakers who grew up with the language, not just studied it from textbooks. Get authentic pronunciation, cultural context, and the phrases people actually use.

Real-Life Practice in Sofia

For students in Sofia, we meet monthly to practice in real situations. Bulgarian learners bargain at Ladies’ Market, try traditional “boza”, and compare prices at local shops. French learners explore galleries, discuss themed topics, and practice with guest native speakers. Learning by doing, not just talking about it.

Personalized to Your Goals

Whether you’re relocating, connecting with family, advancing your career, or exploring new cultures, every lesson adapts to what YOU need—not a one-size-fits-all curriculum.

Expert-Verified Progress

At the end of each level, receive an oral evaluation from another team expert to ensure you’re truly ready to advance. We also provide detailed progress reports upon request so you can track your growth.

Pick your Shelf
