This year I have discovered three real gems for learning Serbian at higher levels:
Now, how can you learn Serbian while watching these videos?
As I have already written about Naša Snajka and Državni Posao, let me introduce you to "Mala istorija Srbije" series which present Serbian tradition and history in a didactic and lively manner. For example, while watching the first episode you can learn:
- until what time it is safe to greet someone saying "dobro jutro"
- what "stalni gosti" usually drink
- what "srpski političar" looks like
- the connotation of the word "stoka"
- who can save you on February 24th
Now, how can you learn Serbian while watching these videos?
- At first turn off the audio and describe what's going on
- When watching the video for the second time, do listen to it and ask as many questions as possible (of course, press pause in order to manage this!). So, the aim is to understand what's going on!
- Retell the story using the phrases and vocabulary used by Milena, Lane, Vlasta, Vasić and Žika
Have fun!
