Nineteen fragments wait to become one person

Begin with a simple route through the information: name, origin, current home, family, job and free time. The phrase je iz introduces origin, while živi u locates the person now. Keeping those two ideas separate prevents a birthplace from accidentally becoming a current address.

Several small grammar signals deserve attention. Sa is followed by the instrumental—sa suprugom. Troje is a collective numeral suitable with deca: troje dece. Raditi kao introduces an occupation without an article: radi kao inspektor.

Small linking words hold the biography together

Assemble the profile in an order a listener can follow

Cut the nineteen vocabulary items into slips. Arrange them into a logical biography, add the missing personal forms and endings, then introduce the person without reading the slips verbatim.

  1. Complete: On živi ______ suprugom.
  2. Write troje dece in Cyrillic.
  3. Which phrase introduces an occupation?
  4. Translate slobodno vreme.
  5. Join: On je iz Niša. Sada živi u Beogradu.

The vocabulary list disappears behind a real introduction

  1. sa
  2. троје деце
  3. raditi kao
  4. free time
  5. On je iz Niša, ali sada živi u Beogradu.

Replace four facts with true information about yourself and record the introduction in one uninterrupted take. The vocabulary has done its job when nobody can hear the original list.
