Contexte culturel
The 'Noon News' on BNR is a sacred time for many older Bulgarians, especially in rural areas. Radio 'Vitosha' and 'Energy' are the most popular for 90s hits and pop music among the working population. During the socialist era, 'слушам радио' was a way to access Western culture through forbidden frequencies. Bulgarian drivers often use the radio to stay updated on mountain pass conditions during winter.
The 'Si' Trick
Add 'си' (Слушам си радио) to sound more like a native. It implies you are doing it for your own enjoyment.
No 'To'
Remember: No preposition! Just 'слушам радио'.
