7. Translate the text into Bulgarian:

I wanna talk about learning languages. Ive lived in many different
countries, both in Western Europe, Middle East, and now here in Hong

Kong. And during all of that time, Ive learned five or six different
languages, to one degree or another. I love learning languages, not only
are they important when you move to a country, I just find them
fascinating. Before I came to Hong Kong, I lived in Barcelona Spain for ten
years. And when I first arrived, the most important thing was being able to
communicate with people locally. I dont attend classes. I dont think Im
particularly good in classes. I prefer to learn by just talking to people,
finding out what I need to say by looking at dictionaries and listening
carefully. Other things that helped me when I first moved to Spain, were
watching the typical kinds of programs we see everyday on channels
around the world. For example the weather. This is great, because they
always say the same things. So you can really quickly hear the same
words repeated again and again. And the pictures helped of course. Other
types of program that helped me learned Spanish quickly were things like
game shows, where the same thing happens. They have a catchphrase or
a slogan that they repeat endlessly when contestants win or when they
are called to compete.
