Serbonika’s Serbian Language Summer School Program
The Serbonika’s Intensive Serbian Summer School in Belgrade are courses consisting of two main parts:
1) Serbian language lessons in our classrooms
2) Language practice through various activities
You can join us for both or either of the two. Both parts include, above all, speaking Serbian and listening to spoken Serbian in its natural context at all times.
1) Serbian Language Lessons
Language lessons are held Monday to Friday. They include general Serbian language learning, grammar and vocabulary practice, didactic games, speaking practice, and debates – depending on the level.
In the lessons we will talk about the real-life experiences you’re having and help you learn the most important vocabulary. In that way you will be prepared to follow the conversations or speech, and understand or interact better.
Standard Monday to Friday schedule of classroom lessons. Special courses at other times available at request.
2) Out-of-Classroom Activities
The afternoon and weekend extracurricular activities will give you plenty of opportunities to listen to different native speakers and use the language in real-life situations, with assistance when needed.
You’ll get the chance to recognize the structures and words you’ve learned in class as you hear them in real conversations, and to use them in a different context yourself.
These activities include walks, field trips, visits to restaurants, dancing and music lessons, museum visits and tour guides, socializing with our students and teachers.

Barbecuing is a very popular weekend activity in Serbia. You can try Serbian hamburgers (pljeskavice) or kebabs (ćevapi), grilled with love at a barbecuing place in nature.
KAZAN
This equipment is used for brewing home-made fruit brandy. Hopefully, you might get a chance to see this machine in action, to taste it’s product and take a bottle with you.
KOTLIĆ
Cauldron is another popular dish cooked outside. It can be similar to a stew or a goulash. It takes a few friends, simple ingredients and a couple of hours to make it.
