👉 What you’ll learn today:

• Key vocabulary for everyday items like bread, coffee, tea, soup, and more.

• The difference between Искам (Iskam – I want) and Бих искал/искала (Bih iskal/iskala – I would like) – and how to use them politely.

• How to specify quantities with един/една/едно (edin / edna / edno – one) when ordering.
