常见错误
Using an adjective ('good') instead of an adverb ('well') to describe a verb. Adverbs in Bulgarian usually end in -o or are irregular like 'добре'.
Confusing 'from' (от) with 'towards' (към). 'От' is the starting point, 'към' is the destination.
While 'много' can follow a verb, when used for emphasis of desire, it often precedes the verb in natural speech.

常见问题 (6)
без translates to 'without'. It can also mean 'minus' in math or 'to' in time-telling.него is the objective form for both 'he' and 'it' (masculine/neuter). So без него can mean 'without him' or 'without it'.
