Lesson focus |
|---|
| We hope that in this lesson we'll introduce you to some phrases that you won't have to use. While the threat of physical violence is not prevalent, when traveling to Bulgaria you should always be careful. In addition, this phrase is not limited to threatening situations, but you can also use it in the unfortunate event that you or someone around you is in need of immediate assistance. In this lesson, we'll learn how to call for help. |
| Even if everyone wishes that nothing bad or dangerous happens while on holiday in Bulgaria, it's better if you know some important useful phrases to use in case of emergency. |
| In Bulgarian, "Help!" is Pomosht! Let's break it down by syllable. Po-mosht. Literally, this means "Help." |
| If you need to call the police, shout Policiya! Let's break it down by syllable: Po-li-ci-ya! Literally, this means "Police!" |
| You also want to learn to say "Call the police!" It's Povikaite policiya! The first word, povikaite, means "you call" (plural), while the second word is policiya, or "police" again. |
| The phone number for the police in Bulgaria is 166. You can easily call it from a public phone or a cell phone. Make sure that in an emergency you know how to ask for a public phone. |
Outro |
| Okay, to close out this lesson, we’d like for you to practice what you just learned. I’ll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase, and you’re responsible for saying it out loud. You’ll have few seconds before I give you the answer. So, Успех! (Uspeh!) that means "Good luck!" in Bulgarian. Ok, here we go! |
| "Help!" - Pomosht! |
