I don't speak Bulgarian, and odds are you don't either! That is, unless you're the fabulous Mira, who was kind enough to correct some of the mistakes I made in the Bulgarian dialogue in The Next Best Thing. The glossary has been revised to show these updates, as has the text. Blagodaria, Mira, for helping make TNBT a more accurate story!
There's also a glossary of the smattering of French I used as well, which follows the Bulgarian section.
