I need to start to learn a usable language as I intend to move to BG within the next year or so. I will visit in the spring.
So what is best? Shall I learn Bulgarian or Russian? Will Russian help better with paperwork and formality? Would Russian be understood well in villages and small towns. More people speak Russian in this world and it may be easier to find books, movies, etc. I do not want to try learn both at this early stage?
Please tell me what you think.
