Living rural as non Bulgarian-speaker

7 years ago

If I move to a rural town in Bulgaria, say for example Parvomay which is 25 minutes from Plovdiv, am I likely to struggle to get by without being fluent in Bulgarian?

Local services I expect to be provided in Bulgarian but are there any English-speaking communities or businesses in the small towns?

(Please don't say 'learn the language'... this is of course a given but one has to get on with life and that sometimes means arriving in a country where one is not fluent in the local language on arrival.)
