Zahavasdad, the community is Sephardic, however, I will be leaving Bulgaria in seven months and what I will attend is not an actual conversion, but a conversion course. It prepares a ger for their journey to Jewish life and religion, and once you are ready you can start the actual giyur. I will spend the months I am in Bulgaria strictly attending each course. There is a Chabad organization as well here, but it is pretty small and it does not offer these courses. I will be granted a U.S. visa (not sure the word is right), kein ayin hara, in a few years and I will be able to begin my actual conversion in New York where the actual immersion into Judaism is going to happen. I hope that clears up any ideas that I am starting that early my conversion. I believe times is important and only G-d knows when I will be part of the Nation. Yiddish is important for historical reasons to me, I myself stem from a Bessarabian family and the Yiddish language was prevalent and healthy during the time my ancestors were living there.
Have a good Shabbos!
