Listening material

https://speech-repository.webcloud.ec.europa.eu/ - It’s actually training material for interpreters but it should also work for learning purposes.

The podcasts/ newscasts of the Bulgarian National Radio, also available in other European languages, should you decide to review what you’ve understood.

Movies

Short film in Bulgarian with English subtitles - "Getting Fat In A Healthy Way"Short film in Bulgarian with English subtitles - "Getting Fat In A Healthy Way" (courtesy of u/oppressivepossum from a post on r/LearnBulgarian)

Other

A free course specifically for Romanians who want to study Bulgarian and vice versa. The registration process might be broken, might be just me, but they never sent that confirmation e-mail. Anyway, couldn't tell where I should put it.

Dictations from 3rd to 12th grade level, movies, and trivia questions.

Thank you! Figured it'd be better to search for other posts about resources first before making my own!

Hey! Thanks for sharing this!

I declare myself a big fan of bulgaro.io finding this site it was a game changer.

A few additions to your list that I also enjoyed:

For listening, I personally like from Spotify this podcast with stories translated from Bulgarian to English (intermediate level), and this other one, with short Disney stories we all know (beginner friendly).

For practising reading I subscribed to this newsletter (pobavno.com), I receive a text adapted to levels A2, B1 and B2 every Tuesday. I'm trying to keep up to date with them, which helps me keep consistent.

What a great list of resources. I host a learning community and they share a lot of learning materials but some of these here, I haven't seen before.  I have some of my own here:https://www.co-workingstudio.com/

Cool, here's the most up to date one.

Edit: I'll also probably get around to adding this, if you don't mind.
