A BRIT LOST in BULGARIA
Join me was we meet the locals of Bulgaria and discover how well they speak English.
We walk around the suburbs of Varna, in Bulgaria, and ask the locals for directions.
In this video we see how friendly and helpful the locals are and snack on a local delicacy.
If you enjoy adventure videos from the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, then grab your vodka, some zakusky and join me as we meet the helpful and kind locals of Varna Bulgaria.

I really appreciate your advice to the people to buy food and goods from the local shops so we can support them , that was really nice mate. Btw for your advice what is the best option for exploaring city's is get lost , that's true :D I lost my self in Florence ( Italy ) and that was one of the best experience which I had and meet a lot of nice people . I wish you all the best mate. You got new subscriber :))

Always find someone to answer my question - wherever in the world I am. It is for sure better if you speak a few more languages.

In fact a lot of younger Bulgarians speak English quite well. This is because some had private English language lessons or have studied English at school /university. Me, as a Bulgarian, can say that I know English, because I had lessons in kindergarten, learnt English in school and attended private English language lessons. Also, when I was a kid (in the late 90s-early 00s), I used to watch Cartoon Network, which was entirely in English, not like now, when it is completely dubbed in Bulgarian. I love when I have the opportunity to freshen up my skills in conversations with foreigners or when I write something. Besides English, I also learnt German in school and I also speak Russian. In university I also learned Latin and Ancient Greek, because I studied for a BA and MA in Archaeology. Now I'm a PhD student in Classical archaeology at Sofia University, redacting my PhD thesis.

Don't ask elder people in Bulgaria whether they speak or not English - they usually don't :) , since they were young during the Soviet times and during Soviet times they were teach Russian (all of them) as it was mandatory language. Ask people from 10 to 40 years old and you will notice, that more than 80% of them speak English :) P.S - Even my 4 years old daughter now understands English better than me when I was 10 years old, thanks to all the cartoons we play , which are mainly in English :)

@apobg Ай бұрын

Recently I've been surprised that even though they have studied Russian at school, most of them either don't speak it well or can't have a conversation at all. I don't have a particularly good opinion about my Russian level, but as I am learning it better I'm gaining more confidence, since I see that there's very few non-native Russian speakers around here that really speak well. They remember 'something' but they can rarely get a joke, a nuance or a wordplay. Knowing 'some' Russian and really having a grasp on that language are two very, very different things. As it is, of course, with English, or any other language in that matter. Many young Bulgarians' English (my age included, I'm 36) speak as much English as many of their older counterparts speak Russian... Bulgarian school is not the best place to learn languages. That I know for sure. From the eight languages I speak, I've learned only English at school, but I've studied in the American College in 8th grade. Bulgarian schools give a "How are you?" "Up-down" level of English :D

I lived in Varna for several years (I’m Swedish and an English teacher) and have travelled more or less everywhere in Bulgaria. Whether people speak English or not is very closely linked to their age. Young people - up to 28 or so - usually speak very good English, which they learn in school. People over 50 of course speak fluent Russian, which THEY learnt in school, but no English, so Russian (which I speak) is a must if you want to travel outside the main tourist destinations. Between age 30/35 and 50, most people speak only Bulgarian - not an easy language to learn, and I have never met an expat who managed it!

With time the park was also associated with the name of Sevastopol, so most of the meetings in the center were just set up with keyword at the Sevastopol.

Varna is very near some famous Black sea resorts like Sunny Beach, Golden Sands, Albena, and it's a tourist city. Locals work there and deal with tourists most of the year. It's the biggest port and sea faring is popular among locals. I think there's a naval academy and prolly at least 1 sea faring high school which teaches students about ships, navigating the world, languages, etc. It's only natural that locals speak many languages... it's a lot different inland, especially outside the top 5 cities and the cities situated on the Black sea.

Yes, he has a British accent, but we saw he's a polyglot and speaks Spanish and French just as well. I really think even sometimes he's speaking broken Bulgarian, just on purpose to hide that fact. There's something interesting and different to him, that doesn't make him seem like a pure Brit. Can't put my finger on what exactly is that. Just like Bald and Bankrupt actually used to live here in Bulgaria and that's one of the reasons he hasn't made a vlog in the country, but he shared that fact once and didn't speak about it again. There really are some mysteries in these city vloggers lore hahah. Although I'd say Justin is way better and not creepy like Bald, I think we all know all the controversies around him.

@dwartbg1 he said Шунка is a sausage and pronounced мартИница. He pronounced Seva-stopol the way a westerner would. He did all that just to fool us, lol? He wrote he left London for the US at 15, I can catch some London accent in there.

@dwartbg1 where did Bald and bankrupt say he used to live in Bulgaria? Are u sure about that? He made a video from Bulgaria recently and didn't even know about the currency, seemed oblivious to the fact BG was not actually a Soviet Republic and seemed ignorant about the country as a whole... I read he used to live in Belarus for like 5 years and was married there, did u confuse those 2 countries by any chance?

Thank you for that fabulous video, Justin! You really earned a subscriber! I'm Bulgarian and I also speak several languages, but the moment I heard you speak Russian I was really impressed, because there was no accent or anything, you really strive to learn languages with pronunciation, colloquialisms, slangs and all. Even if you can't read Dostoevski in original, you have the base already, you can build upon it, it's a great language with many ways to express yourself and many ways to say (or not say) something. Russian humor is akin to English humor and I like it a lot as well. Very, very rare for a Westerner to speak such a good Russian, congrats! Era una sorpresa grandisima también oirte habler español tan fluente con la chica dominicana. You apparently always learn the basic words of the language of every country you visit, and that's the way to go! I always find a common tongue with almost every person on Earth as well, and if we don't share one, there's always a way to understand each other :D As the old uncle of a friend of mine says, "I speak all languages, but when I speak too much, my hands start to hurt" You're a very nice person and if you ever come to Sofia, make sure to write me a message at apostolov(at)me.com to have a rakia (or two) together! Cheers!

Very interesting and positive video and Bulgaria is such beautiful country.Many young Bulgarians can speak fluent English but older people not so much. I miss the Bulgarian breakfast so much. Mekitza,banitza with boza, excellent start for the day. Greeting from one Bulgarian who lives in Essex for almost nine years❤

@nickmastera 3 ай бұрын

btw mate the mekica shop is really special because they fry the mekica when you order it. She is right. Usually, they are made in batches and a new batch is started when they are near the end of the previous one. Because of this, you may have cold mekica depending on when you buy the mekica. 20:48 I hope Dimitar Zhelyiazkov is selling his honey fast because it's not ok to stay in sunlight for a long time as far as I remember?

Hello Justin ... Thank you for showing my city Varna . I m 32 years old and i cay say most of people know very well English and other languages. I m very proud of my city Varna and i love it.I v been in other cities in Bulgaria but Varna is just the best for me.Night life and early mornings are just amazing.We can do many thinks depends what people like... i mean our city is not that small.Thank you for the videos and keep it up .

I am very glad, that I saw your video. It is so interesting to see how a foreigner see Bulgaria. I was used to love this kind of walking - to "lost" my self in Sofia and other cities. I am Bulgarian. Really didn't knew some of the beautiful things that you showed in the video. Mekitsas are very tasty and really special food from childhood. Really didn't know that they are mekitsas with other things. I have been to Varna 2 or 3 times. I will definitely see your other videos. In Varna is hotter than Sofia. And this winter is warmer than it must be.
