Your New Year’s Resolutions Solution: BulgarianPod101 Inner Circle
Peter here, and welcome to another year of BulgarianPod101!
It’s halfway into January and everyone’s focused on their New Year’s resolutions. This used to happen to me year after year, and now I see it year after year. The start of a new year gives everyone renewed hope that THIS is finally going to be the year they master Bulgarian!
The hard truth? 90% of these people will fail. 70% will have given up by February. Resolutions have become a kind of societal joke that we all pretend to play along with. That is, until we actually have to do something about it.
Do these numbers surprise you? I know from personal experience that it’s easy to let your goal go. For many, many years I had the same goal year after year! Then one year,... Show more

You’ll never master Bulgarian…
Dear Reader,
“You’ll Never Master a Language!”
That’s what my foreign language teacher, Mr. Barry, told me many years ago. “I’m sorry, you just don’t have an aptitude for languages” is what he added.
Well, he was wrong, and I knew it.
I went on to master Japanese, a much harder language than the one Mr. Barry taught, obtaining a master's degree from a top Japanese university and founding a Japanese company headquartered in Tokyo.
My name is Peter Galante, founder of Innovative Language Learning, and I’m here to tell you the story of how I proved them wrong.
So how did I go from language class failure, to founder of a language learning company with over 200 million language lessons delivered?
The secret lies in my... Show more

Can you speak better Bulgarian in one day?
Hello Listener,
What’s one day of Bulgarian learning?
Simple phrases? Takes 5 minutes. 30 new vocabulary words? At least 30 minutes. New grammar and creating your own sentences? Let’s say an hour.
And we’re still just 2 hours and 35 minutes into the day.
You won’t master Bulgarian in one day but you’ll make big progress. One day is enough to start learning, start speaking, and improve your Bulgarian.
Rome wasn’t built in a day, but streets and city blocks here.
So, if you tune into the fun, fast and easy lessons, you start speaking minutes into the lesson. Just one lesson. Imagine how much more you’ll learn in one day?
It only takes one day to speak better Bulgarian.
Start today and save 27% on all Basic and... Show more
