I don't know if this is the right topic, but I decided to post my topic here. I caught a girlfriend a few months ago. She is 30+ years old and is from Vratsa. When he speaks directly, my nerves break. I don't know why, what kind of schools and what kind of people there are in Vratsa, but she (and her mother) don't seem to know about the existence of the letter "ya" at all. He almost never uses it. Have we talked about this with my girlfriend and she is of the opinion that it is not good to talk like that. We agreed to fix it and she said she wanted me to do it and that she wouldn't be angry with me. Of course, I correct her almost always when I hear her misspell a word, which happens in almost every sentence, but she still changes her speech, but continues as before. On the other hand, as I mentioned, her mother speaks in this way, and when she goes to Vratsa for the weekend, I have the feeling that her mother was ruining her again even if she had made some slight progress. Can anyone tell me if he knows a way to overcome this annoying problem? Can a speech therapist help or any other approach?

Most people do not distinguish between dialect and accent. If I understand correctly, you want to fix her accent?
Working with a speech therapist and DESIRE. Unfortunately, the dialect is widely spoken. Disgusting in my opinion, adding a mentality and high self-esteem, but otherwise with business attire .... It is not normal at a business meeting to talk in style: who, him day, not to ask the percentage and the like, plus dialect real examples .
For example, I can speak pure Bulgarian, but I have to push. If I lived in Sofia permanently I would not have a problem, but most of the time I am in Pernik. Author, if I'm your friend at the place, at some point I'll get bored and tell you to look after your work. After all, is this the most important thing?
Abe, people! What kind of speech therapist is chasing you, the speech therapist is dealing with speech DEFECTS, not with accents, dialects and gevezelats! Author, when your girlfriend annoys you, take a girl from your area and you will talk in the same way. I am convinced that you are not perfect either, judging by your mediocre spelling and unattractive way of expression. And this laugh with the "Health" section just killed me!
Do you remember the first or second big brother, a girl spoke a lot of dialect and special accent, many people shared this opinion and when she was interviewed she said she did not understand what the problem was and started working with a speech therapist. As for the speech therapist, yes, this is the specialist who would help the most, just by repairing the joint. We are talking about incorrect pronunciation, articulation which is a pure speech defect. There are people for whom the change of is and and, is absolutely ok. I can't even imagine telling the child who she really is, who she is.
Yes, a speech therapist can help. Speech therapists do not only deal with speech defects, as someone said above (a very old term, by the way). Speech therapists deal with all kinds of speech and language disorders, including incorrect pronunciation in dialect speech, clearing accents. It is no coincidence that Hollywood actors and hosts of various shows, politicians, visit a speech therapist to clear such influences on speech. There is a terrible dialect in Vratsa, I know what you are talking about. It can be cleared with the help of a speech therapist and a slightly enhanced language culture. I know quite a few women from Vratsa who speak at such a high level that you feel dizzy and never believe that they are from there. Apparently your girlfriend just grew up in a slightly worse environment. Fix it (this is the right approach) softly, speak only literary language wherever you go ... and that's how it starts. Little by little her speech will change :) Just be patient and don't push her.
