KAD - When?
ZAŠTO - Why?
ŠTA - What?
KOJI - Which?
KO - Who?
KOLIKO DUGO - How long?

In Serbian 301 one is practicing to confidently ask and answer questions about some past tense events. This can be practiced in different ways:

talking about your past, or past events in your life
talking about your friends and family and their experiences
retelling a short story that we have previously learnt
retelling an interesting film/book plot

Additionally, you can also practice telling a story based on a suitable song. Let's take Kristing by Zdravko Čolić, for example!

In order not to neglect the beginners in Serbian, here's a video lesson about Jeremija without my voice. If you are a real beginner, do watch the version with slow pronunciation before doing the following tasks:

Say the sentences based on the facts before the answers show up
If that's difficult, try simply to read the answers (help)
If that's too easy, try to ask the appropriate questions for Jeremija's answers
