| Eric: Hi, everyone, I'm Eric. |
| Tanya: And I'm Tanya. |
| Eric: In this lesson, you'll learn how to post and leave comments in Bulgarian about relaxing. Камен (Kamen) relaxes at a beautiful place, posts an image of it, and leaves this comment: |
| Tanya: Почивка след няколко часа гмуркане. (Pochivka sled nyakolko chasa gmurkane.) |
| Eric: Meaning - "Some relaxation after a few hours of scuba diving." Listen to a reading of the post and the comments that follow. |

| POST |
| Eric: Listen again to Камен (Kamen)'s post. |
| Tanya: Почивка след няколко часа гмуркане. (Pochivka sled nyakolko chasa gmurkane.) |
| Eric: "Some relaxation after a few hours of scuba diving." |
| Tanya: (SLOW) Почивка след няколко часа гмуркане. (Pochivka sled nyakolko chasa gmurkane.) (Regular) Почивка след няколко часа гмуркане. (Pochivka sled nyakolko chasa gmurkane.) |
| Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "break, holiday, relaxation time." |
| Tanya: Почивка (Pochivka) |
| Eric: This is a general word to describe a time of relaxation or off work. It might be a few minutes or dream vacation. Listen again - "break, holiday, relax time" is... |
| Tanya: (SLOW) Почивка (Pochivka) (REGULAR) Почивка (Pochivka) |
| Eric: Then comes the phrase - "after a few hours of scuba diving." |
| Tanya: след няколко часа гмуркане (sled nyakolko chasa gmurkane) |
| Eric: Diving in the Black Sea is possible but not an exciting pastime, as the sea has little vegetation and quickly becomes very deep. Therefore, if a person scuba dives, it implies that they’ve gone on holiday abroad to a warmer and more exotic destination. Listen again - "after a few hours of scuba diving" is... |
| Tanya: (SLOW) след няколко часа гмуркане (sled nyakolko chasa gmurkane) (REGULAR) след няколко часа гмуркане (sled nyakolko chasa gmurkane) |
| Eric: Altogether, "Some relaxation after a few hours of scuba diving." |
| Tanya: Почивка след няколко часа гмуркане. (Pochivka sled nyakolko chasa gmurkane.) |
