My Daily Routine Serbian Language Podcast

“Moja dnevna rutina”

What’s better to do on the Serbian New Year’s Eve than to podcast? Is it a working day or a holiday in Serbia? Join me as I chat about our holidays and normal days, about my family’s daily routine in Serbian.

Some of the topics covered:

  1. working and non-working days in Serbia,
  2. Serbian New Year, 
  3. family routine and days off,
  4. school holidays,
  5. the challenges of parenting a young child
  6. using perfective and imperfective verbs when talking about routines.

Did you get yourself a cup of coffee? Perhaps a notebook and a pen? Great! Let’s talk about our day-to-day life.
