Thanks to the influences of The British Council in Bulgaria and the popularization of western media, English is making a greater appearance in Bulgaria than ever before. Originally just a language elective that can be learned in the later half of primary school, the language is gaining greater popularity in all echelons of academia, and in more recent years, available via online resources to anyone with an interest in learning. The language is still predominantly spoken in the military, American academia, and business settings, but has been gaining greater traction in the general populace in recent years.
