About
The Podcast
The audio stories of the podcast are interesting to anyone with a taste for cultural heritage in modern times and for eco living.
Especially for those learning Bulgarian as a foreign language, the podcast "Mysteries of the Valley of Roses and Thracian Rulers" is an opportunity to "absorb" the language in a context, similar to the perception of mother tongue in childhood. The idea is based on Georgi Lozanov's Suggestopedia and Steven Krashen's "language acquisition hypothesis".
Each episode of the podcast comes with audio, text and video - in Bulgarian, English and Russian.
For beginners in Bulgarian, the parts of the stories are summarised and adaptively retold, in correspondence with A1-B1 levels of the European Framework of Reference for Languages.
